“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” – Marianne Williamson
Do you find yourself holding back? At work, in conversations, in relationships? Do you feel you are “TOO MUCH” at times? Too strong, too opinionated, too motivated, too (fill in the blank)? Sometimes we are afraid of SUCCESS on some level – will my friends think I’m pompous, what will my family think, will I continue to fit in with my friend group and work peers, what will happen if I rock the boat at work, will my boss feel threatened, and on and on.
What will it take for you to STEP into your true being and your GREATNESS?
I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone AT LEAST ONCE A DAY and stop living on autopilot. Share your gifts with the world. How?
1) GET CLARITY: Don’t get too comfortable. What’s it going to take to get clearer on your vision? Sometimes we have a vision, but we haven’t allowed it space. We get too distracted by the tedious activities of the day, like responding to others’ needs, emails, checking off the to-do list. Without sugar-coating it, we allow ourselves to stay BUSY and fool ourselves that we are moving towards our vision.
2) FIND YOUR WHY: Tap into intrinsic values. Why is it important for you to fulfill your vision at this point in your career and life?
3) GET MOTIVATED: Some individuals find they are more motivated by moving away from pain – that can be a great motivator especially in the short-term. But moving towards a positive goal will lead to more joy. While the human brain is wired to move away from threats, we have the ability to intentionally flip that tendency and move towards a positive outcome.
4) GET OUT OF THE WAY: Be honest with yourself for a moment: do you have one foot on the brake? What will it take to go full throttle towards your vision? What do you need to remove from your life, and what do you need to add? What small, hard choices and actions outside of your comfort zone do you need to make to support your vision?
5) WHAT SUPPORT DO YOU NEED? It doesn’t mean more if you do it alone. It just means more stress, more hardship. Who will be your accountability partners, mentors, supporters?
Remember, YOU ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. But no one steps into their greatness alone. Know that I am here to support you. If you want to brainstorm an aspect of your career or how you show up in life, find a 20-minute block with me here.
