So, What’s The Hold Up?
It’s time to break free and start moving.
This edition of my newsletter is brought to you by:
Hello you!
We’re already two weeks into the year. How’s it going with those goals you set for yourself? This is our safe space so be honest with me, are you taking steps forward, or are you still waiting for the “perfect time” to start?
The thing is the perfect time doesn’t exist. Waiting for the perfect time only delays your dreams; before you know it, another month—or year—will slip by.
So, what’s stopping you?
Is it fear? Doubt? Lack of clarity? Whatever it is, it’s time to confront it. You don’t have to be perfect to begin; you just have to start.
As James Clear (one of my favourite authors) said, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems”.
So, what does that mean? It means that you should break your goal into small, actionable steps. What’s one thing you can do today to start building momentum with those goals?
If you’re like me and you’re easily motivated by quotes,
Here’s one of my favourite quotes by Rumi that motivates me to just take action, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” Isn’t that one beautiful quote?
Anyway, this is your sign to take the first step. It doesn’t matter if it’s small or imperfect, but it matters that you’re moving forward. Don’t waste too much time planning or preparing yourself to start. Just start.
Start with the easiest thing…the smallest thing even.
Remember that:
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
- Lao Tzu
So don’t wait. Take that step now.
What’s one thing you’ve been putting off that you can tackle this week? If you’re open to sharing, shoot me an email. I’d love to hear about it. And if you need someone to hold you accountable, I could be that for you.
The year is still fresh, and so are your opportunities. Don’t let fear, procrastination, or anything else rob you of the amazing things you’re capable of achieving.
Until next week’s letter, have an amazing week!
With love,
Rae.
