Return To You: The Key To Success

Hi my friend.

Welcome to this very moment.

Allow yourself to take a pause and time to breathe in through your nose and let it all go.

Maybe closing your eyes if that feels right.

Maybe placing a hand or two over your heart.

Start by just noticing what's present here.

Give yourself this full permission to be as you are.

Listen to these words by Zaina Keithley.

Don't let the fear of not being the best at something stop you from moving forward.

Best doesn't always mean most successful.

You know who is successful?

Someone who begins.

Someone who is willing to take one step at a time and learn along the way.

Someone who practices consistency over perfection.

Someone who writes down their goals and follows up with aligned action.

Someone who is willing to try.

Even if that means stumbling and picking themselves up a few times along the way.

Most people will never be the absolute best at anything.

Rather than trying to be the best,

Be the one who shows up.

Be the one who is willing to learn from your experiences.

Be the one who doesn't quit when faced with adversity.

Be the one willing to believe in your strength over your fears.

Be the one willing to trust your inner wisdom to guide you even if that doesn't make any sense to anyone else.

Pour endless grace and compassion into yourself as you figure it out.

That's how you succeed.

Not by being the very best today,

But by being willing to step forward even when you can't see the entire path ahead of you.

By taking one step at a time,

One breath at a time,

And knowing deep inside you already have what it takes.

Breathe around these words.

Inhale.

Sitting with what came up for you.

Gently opening the eyes if they were closed.

My friend,

It's about presence over perfection.

It's about allowing yourself to be messy,

To be imperfect,

To figure it out as you go.

You don't have to be the very best at anything.

In fact,

No one truly is.

I don't think there's such thing as being an expert.

We're all just humans trying to figure it out.

And it's really difficult some days,

And then it's really beautiful some days,

And there's ease and there's flow to life.

And then sometimes it feels like we're taking a million steps backward.

But really,

All you need to do is continue to show up.

And instead of being perfect or having it figured out or knowing it all,

See if you can just meet yourself today with more grace,

More compassion,

And acceptance.

And choose to be gentle with yourself as you take one step at a time.

And maybe ask yourself,

What would be successful for me today?

Instead of the outcome and how it's all gonna look and the perfection,

Maybe it's more about the process and how you can hold yourself through today.

I'm gonna choose to be really kind to myself.

I'm going to choose to just learn as I go,

Knowing that it's okay not to know.

It's okay not to be perfect from my heart to yours.

I hope this really resonated with you.

And if you like this type of video format where we drop in for a moment,

I read a quote to you,

And then I share how it feels and what comes up for me with this quote,

With these words of the day,

I would love to hear from you.

So comment below what came up for you.

And I hope you choose to be kind to your mind.

See you in the next one.
