Let go of the fear of managing how everything will turn out ever-and particularly as a condition of ever even beginning. The gifts available in trusting life’s magic are always worth more than the temporary comforts of believing you’re in control.
How often do you tense up or cringe at the memory or anticipation of making a “mistake” or getting it “wrong”? That’s nothing more than your fear-based ego perpetuating the myth that your safety and worthiness lay exclusively within perfectionism.
Your soul knows better than that. Your authentic self understands that nothing meaningful is born, learned, adventured, grown or changed without taking risks, wandering outside the lines, and on occasion, making a gigantic mess.
There’s no value in feeding anxiety about the doom triggered by alleged shortcomings, missteps or failures. Saddle up to those fears—past, present or future—with a generous serving of curiosity instead.
Reflect on these stories not to shame or alienate yourself, but rather as a means to learn about yourself, others and life. Find inspiration, regardless of outcomes, to continually keep your ego in check and embolden your soul.
Be responsible for your choices and compassionate in your next steps, most importantly with and towards yourself.
You are forever and always, infinitely loved and worthy.
Is there one amongst us who doesn’t lament, “There’s not enough time”?!
Even if you manage to wrestle your ego out of the busybody group think, conscious movers and shakers always have more they want to do, discover, create and love. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by limited hours and energy in each day. However, when we catch ourselves speaking like this, we know that we are giving our power away.
Taking responsibility for time by framing it as priorities vs availability can feel a little harsh, but it’s honestly one of the most empowering ways to break old habits and assumptions and motivate ourselves to really take charge of what matters.
Lives aren’t created at the end, when all the things are done. And our legacies shouldn’t exclusively be made up of the moments when we took “time off”. Lives are built minute by minute, every single hour of every single day. It’s always worth stepping back to see if we are inspired, proud and in alignment with what we’re building.
You don’t get to choose all the things in life, but you and ONLY you get to decide if they will define or liberate you.
There’s nothing gained in playing small, diminishing your light or diluting your energy. You are on this earth to be the person only you can be, and your unique people and opportunities find their way to you most quickly and effectively when they can feel your authenticity beaming and calling out to theirs. Today is the day for the truest you to live your most legendary life.
