What am I really afraid of?

From Jaelin K. Reece, Intuitive Life Coach, for About.com

Question: What am I really afraid of?

Full Question: I am in business with my boyfriend's mother. We love each other very much and it truly is a great working relationship. However, my boyfriend's sister has been asked to handle parts of "MY" business while my business partner is away for 6 months, and I feel hurt that I wasn't asked to do those things. I don't believe it was malicious, but is it because she doesn't believe in me? Or am I just thinking I should handle it all by myself? Part of me says just let them do it, and then I can focus more time on the things I do very well.

Jodi

Answer: Dear Jodi,

While I can see the fear in your energy body that your boyfriend's mother does not trust you enough to handle the business in her absence, this is not the case. Your own feeling of being insecure in your abilities is surfacing, presenting you with a wonderful opportunity to heal.

Your partner, with good intentions, has asked her daughter to step in to help you. I do not feel any lack of trust, or belief that you are not capable. What I do sense is that she feels guilty for leaving you to handle everything alone. She does not want you to shoulder the burden on your own.

What you can do at this time Jodi, is learn to trust that you are respected for your capabilities, and you are in a safe partnership. Trust is something you have had great difficulty with in this life. This is simply another reflection, showing you what you have yet to work through.

Ask yourself these questions:
  • Do I trust my own abilities?
  • Am I willing to trust without having to control every situation?
  • What am I really afraid of?
Once you have asked these questions, your inner journey begins. Look into the mirror and see what is there being reflected back to you. Ask others to share their observations of you. What do they see? Take stock, then reach out and ask for help. You may be surprised how much others trust in you.

Many Blessings,
Jaelin
