One of my business mentor asked me “what made me to start my own business”? The simple and direct answer is “because my family souls strongly urged me to do so. I don’t know why, but from the beginning of this year 2016, I had kept on seeing and hearing my family souls’ urges “come out!! Come out!!” The urges had come every day, literally 24/7, during both the daytime visions and night time dreams.
Let me share my personal experience. This year 2016 is my 9th year living in America. I had spent these past 8 years hiding myself inside the house. I had seldom gone out in public. I used to go to the grocery store at 6 am so that I didn’t run into many people. I used to ask my husband to drop off and pick up my daughter at preschool whenever he could. Why? Because I was scared of people.
I am originally outgoing and friendly. When I was single, I often traveled alone both in Japan and in foreign countries. I never hesitated to meeting new people. I was easy going and made friends with people from other countries. I didn’t have any boundary to people. As for America, I had visited America more than 20 times before I got married. I had a strong confidence that I could communicate well with American people.
Then, when I moved to America, the first 3 months was so tough. I was totally fine on everything while I was traveling and visiting America. However, when I started actually living here in America, it was hard for me to adjust myself to the difference of way of thinking, cultures, and habits. All the things that I used to take it for granted in Japan were not applied here in America. As a result of cultural gap and shocking experiences, I reached to the extent where I really scared of the local people. That is why I had hide myself in the house these past of years. I became extremely shy.
If I had not received the strong calls every day from my family souls, I would have still stayed home, doing nothing, scaring of people. I appreciate my family souls for helping me to come out to the society.
Once I have come out to the society, I was surprised. There are many nice supportive people out there. I just didn’t know that all these years.
I believe everything, everybody has the right timing to do the right things. For me, right now is the right time for me to come out to the society. I need lots of help to do my dream job. I would like to say thank you to all who have come to my life, as a supporter, as a teacher, and as a friend.
