Keep going💫
By Lian Brook-Tyler
At any one time, the good ship Waking The Wild carries between twenty and thirty souls, depending on the crucibles that are in play, with thirty being the absolute maximum.
The upper limit is fully intentional, based on how many people Waking The Wild can hold so that every person, passenger and crew, can be met in the moAs much as I’m a huge advocate, teacher and practitioner of doing the deep inner work, sometimes the answer we’re so desperately searching for in the next coach, teacher, or method that’s promising to be the magic bullet, is as simple as: Keep going.
True overnight successes are vanishingly rare, the vast majority of them have been doing what they do for many years until suddenly the world sat up and took notice.
As Karl, one of the magical men in the current Medicine circle, just reminded me (our students can be our wisest teachers)...
“Lian and Jonathan built something that, when they first started, didn’t see the full story or how far it would reach and how many LIVES would be saved by their offer - I know personally this is the case!
I met them in 2015 when I was really struggling with my mental health and I wanted to give up on life and they were running Happy School.
This was my first encounter, my first pass at their work and I was hooked on how much they pulled at a knowing part of my soul even in this early stage, to something that was true and something that was alive in me.
If they’d given up on the first pass or the second pass or even the ninth pass we, The Circle, wouldn’t be here talking today.”
He’s absolutely right - he’s seen something that few people seem to.
It’s taken almost 10 years of us coming back, over and over again, in the face of set-backs, heartbreaks, boredom and shiny new things (the ADHD part of me doesn’t always play well with the autistic part of me), rejections, dark nights of the soul, uncertainty, life throwing curve balls, and temptations (to do something easier than the frankly ridiculous depth and breadth of work we’re here for), for us to arrive where we are now… At the enviable place of having a beautiful, successful, sustainable, soul-aligned business that does incredible, maybe even life-saving, work in the world.
So yes, my darling, please do continue to do the inner work (and thank you for doing it, I know it’s hard at times, and it’s SO needed), and… KEEP GOING.
One day, overnight success could be yours too. 😏❤️
