Lean into it…
How will you know if you don’t try?
Recently, I began a new project and since then, this has been my mantra. Lean into it.
I’ve been reminded constantly of the gems one encounters when you go all in with something.
How change, even when one initiates it and wants it so bad, is hard and uncomfortable. How being uncomfortable, leads to growth, and how many things simply cannot be learned in the comfort zone. How most things are learned by doing, by being immersed in the experience, and quite frankly, by f#$king up.
How most of the things you imagine going wrong never actually happen. That imagining those things is a waste of time. That time is best invested if you actually use your imagination wisely.
That nothing comes out as planned …it comes out even better! That breathing comes before doing and not the other way around. That if you lean in, you will figure it out.
With fear, anticipation, courage and love for what you set out to do …just do it!
To joy & inner peace and until next time,
— Vicky
