Looking at where you should be
is disempowering.
It’s trying to live your life from a fictitious place
while taking away your power to actually get there
by mulling over how your life should have been different
and dismissing where you actually are.
Yet where you actually are,
the here and now,
is where all change starts.
Where you actually are,
is the only place it can ever start.
So the longer you hang out in should be land,
the more you’re setting yourself up to stay there,
frustrated,
sad,
disillusioned.
Looking at where you are
is empowering.
It’s living your life from your truth,
and while it might be painful to look at where you are,
seeing the gap with where you think you should be,
it’s exactly what you need to start creating what you are longing for.
Because where you actually are,
the here and now,
is where all change starts.
Where you actually are,
is the only place it can ever start.
And the longer you hang out in the here and now,
the more you’re setting yourself up to stay there,
liberated,
resourceful,
capable.
So each time you find yourself hanging out in should be land,
invite yourself to come back
to the here and now.
Because the here and now
is where you live.
Because the here and now
is where you create your future.
Because the here and now
is where you create your life.

I believe that spending all our energy on being flawlessly perfect is such a great waste.
I believe that working hard to be who we think we’re supposed to be, is such a great waste too.
It makes us feel drained, exhausted and empty.
It makes us “pretend happy”.
It leaves us feeling sad and alone.
It makes us hide our unique views and bright ideas.
It makes us not create the work only we can create.
And I believe that’s such a waste of talent and potential.
I believe that’s such a waste of joy and happy.
For ourselves. And the world.
I also believe it doesn’t have to be that way.
I believe that spending all our energy on embracing our fabulous imperfect self is the best investment we can make.
I believe that working hard to honor who we truly are, is the best gift we can give ourselves. And the world.
It makes us feel energized, resourceful and fulfilled.
It grounds us.
It leaves us feeling uplifted and connected.
It make us share our unique views and bright ideas.
It makes us create the work only we can create.
And I believe that that’s how we tap into our talent and potential.
I believe that that’s such a source of joy and happy.
For ourselves. And the world.
We’ll inspire others.
Not by trying to win them over.
But by being unapologetically us.
We’ll inspire ourselves.
Not by trying to be someone we are not.
But by being unapologetically us.
And that’s why I do what I do.
Helping you put the you back in you.
So the world can enjoy you.
And you do too.

I don’t know how it works.
But I’m gonna figure it out.
It’s too big for me.
But I’m gonna do it in little chunks.
I’ve never done this before.
But that’s the place where everyone once started – they managed, and so can I.
I haven’t got enough experience.
But the only way to get hands-on experience is by doing it.
I haven’t got enough expertise.
But the only way to build on what I know, is getting started.
It’s too hard.
But if they could, so can I.
I’m gonna fail.
But so did everyone that you admire and get inspired by. So let’s just give it a go and see what happens.
I’m not fully clear on what I want yet.
But it will crystallise along the way.
I’m afraid.
But I’m gonna do it anyway. I can do this and be scared at the same time. That’s how everybody does it.
I’m not sure it will work.
But doing it is the only way to find out.
Why aren’t you making it happen?
And how could you?

So we chase the goal.
Working hard.
Relentlessly.
Giving ourselves not a moment of respite.
We need to get there.
As soon as possible.
The sooner the better.
Craving for that moment of reaching the goal.
Because that’s the moment
we’re finally gonna
feel happy.
Free. Content. Fulfilled.
Because that’s the moment
we’re finally gonna
take a moment and
take it all in.
Because that’s the moment
we’re finally gonna
live life
to the fullest.
And so we rush ourselves
now
through a life that feels
unhappy, constricted and stressful.
And so we push ourselves
now
through overloaded agendas
and overflowing to do lists.
And so we force ourselves
now
to work harder,
fighting the feeling we’ve never done enough.
And the more we rush ourselves,
the more we rush ourselves
a little bit further away
from happy, free, content and fulfilled
now.
And the more we push ourselves,
the more we push ourselves
a little bit further away
from taking a moment and taking it all in
now.
And the more we force ourselves,
the more we force ourselves
a little bit further away
from living life to the fullest
now.
But life isn’t some distant thing in the future.
Life is what happens now.
So find a way to create happy, free, content and fulfilled.
Now.
Because life isn’t some distant thing in the future.
Life is what happens now.
So take a moment and take it all in.
Now.
So that life won’t be some distant thing in the future.
But something that is happening now.
Lived to the fullest.
Right now.
Make sure the journey is as good as
what you picture the goal will be.
Because the journey is life.
Because the journey is your life.
