The Power of Permission: Become Your Own Green Light To Go

Per = towards/for.

Mission = focus, project, purpose.

Alone, a mission is simply an idea. A dream. A master plan.

It needs belaying force—a rope pulling the mission out of you and nudging you with the mission into the Universe.

That force is the GREEN LIGHT.

We all know how our best inventions fall null when they overstay their time in the idea stage.

How do you reach lift off? Get your genius to launch?

If you want to go from thinking about running a marathon to putting in the gritty steps to cross the finish line…

If you want to go from thinking about starting a new coaching business to actually showing its face, features, and costs…

If you want to go from thinking of sending a love note to a crush to actually typing out the words and hitting ‘send’…

You need a GREEN LIGHT.

Someone, something, some energy that says “yes, you can go.”

Those words are that rope—that symbol of the prefix “per.”

Just like we are so programmed to hit the gas pedal when we see a traffic light go green, our psyches are also programmed to seek that green light to hit the gas pedal on our goals.

The conundrum hits when we recognize that the GREEN LIGHT won’t always appear outside of us. The work we have to do is in shining our own GREEN LIGHT on our ambitions and passions.

That can be really hard work, but we all are capable of doing it.

Sometimes, you’ll cross paths with a mentor who sees the potential in you and says “you have to show this to the world. It’s gold.”

When they say that, you feel something light up inside of you…

Where?

In your heart.

That’s the ignition of the recognition of your courage to take the steps to run the race, launch the business, share the love.

So what’s curious is, the light was inside of you all along, but it needed a little signal from outside.

These times will happen.

People will tell you “yes, you can.” People will give you the GREEN LIGHT.

But to be raw and real, you won’t have someone at your doorstep or in your inbox every moment saying “yes, you can.”

What I recommend you do to become your own GREEN LIGHT, permission-granter, go-giver is to feel into the space in your heart’s center and the space that that center takes up in Space (like as an expansive whole). You’ll feel how much room there is to express yourself. You’ll get more comfortable moving through space, taking up space. And when you tap into that energy of freedom, see and feel the neon green light shining, pulsating in your heart. Then let it radiate out into that infinite space.

In this energetic shift of a moment, you’ve already begun to spin the world at a different speed, interact with people in a higher vibration, and shine your green light onward and upward.

Next comes putting in the physical work.

But if you do the spiritual, inner work to find and permit your own soul’s mission to be liberated, you are good to go.

Doing that inner spiritual work, is you expressing the word “per,” pulling the mission out of yourself and into the Universe.

This GREEN LIGHT exists inside of you, and to feel and be it’s—your “, yes, I can” is a gift to all.
