You know what sucks.
People have brainwashed themselves into thinking they always have time. That they always have another chance.
But that's a lie.
I knew this since I was a child, watching the adults tell me to waste my day waiting because "there's always tomorrow". My mother once even told me that "we would just meet again in another life so why rush" (I couldn't believe that mentality... and I assure you, the contracts are over... my business is finished -I have made sure of it- so that's not true). Those of us choosing to exit karmic cycles are offering help to others while we're here on our "last life".
I always knew that kind of avoidance was wrong. Sometimes if you don't take an opportunity, it never comes again. In 2021 my friend died, I don't think he was yet 40.
That afternoon he was making plans for a BBQ with me "tomorrow"
The reason this post is being made is that today multiple people came by my booth at the market assuming I'm there weekly and would be back next week. Do they know that we have to pay to be there?
All evening, I only had 2 little girls buy from me with piggy bank money and that was it.
Because the adults kept saying, "I will come back next time"
Why?
What does "next time" offer?
When I hear those words, I know the likelihood is very small. Because they already procrastinated.
I do the exact thing. It's a human pattern. To put it off and pretend you'll have time later. It's a lie we tell ourselves instead of admitting we don't value it enough to disrupt our normal patterns to include it right now, in the present. Because that's where we live. The present....Not tomorrow.
In my business, it's likely spirituality, truth/clarity or the inner child that people are neglecting/rejecting by saying "next time".
And unfortunately, the small businesses can't afford to stay and keep offering what they excel at if nobody makes it worth while to keep coming to town.
It's hard feeling helpless, offering to small towns things they take for granted (especially the extraordinary things). And that is exactly why people like me move to the city. Why small business economy stinks in rural areas.
It's not the 20 businesses failing.
It's the community failing.
And it fails because of individual, communal and familial programming/beliefs that people aren't even aware they are doing (The very thing I'm here to help fix... but you need to be aware before you can fix it. It's such a catch 22.)
People need to be aware of the problem before they value the solution dropped at their feet.
