Being aware of the reasons why something might not work can be helpful so you can include them in your solution. However, focusing mainly on why something won’t work will ensure that it doesn’t happen.

Focusing on the possibilities and inviting other people into those possibilities through who you are being is how to create the bridge from where you are to where you want to go.

If you look to your current impasse, are you being a wall or are you being a bridge?

If you are willing to let go.

The energy of creativity and possibility is always right there, waiting to support you if you are willing to let go of fear.

What if you focused on what wants to be created rather than what you are scared of?

In this moment, you are collaborating with an energy that gives you your power. The energy is either loving and helpful or mean and undermining. The energy you partner with dictates the quality of life you experience, the actions you take, and the impact you have on the people and world you touch.

The frequency you choose to align with and embody is your foundational partnership. It uplifts or weighs down any other interaction, relationship, or possibility. Understanding and becoming responsible for what you are allowing to create your life is vital if you want to experience and give love and support. We will all end up partnering with the wrong thing at some point, and we can make a change or an upgrade at any moment.

What would you like to partner with right now and today?

Part of becoming excellent at something is making mistakes. Making mistakes does not make you a fraud.

What makes you a professional is how you respond to mistakes. Frauds pretend to be something they aren’t or have something they don’t have. If you find joy in the process and are transparent about where you are and what you are doing, you can trust yourself, and others will, too.

Perfection is not the goal; growth and transparency in pursuing excellence are.

What if you could trust your failures instead of resisting them?

The things your mind craves are waiting in the place you don’t want to go.

Remember, the answers and blessings you seek are not in the familiar but in the mystery and uncertainty of the unknown. They are the rewards that await on the other side of the doorway that your fear or obstacle is presenting to you.

What if you trusted that your solutions and gifts were waiting for you in the unknown?

You do not need to fear failure.

You do not need to fear frustration.

You do not even need to fear fear.

Success is a choice and a lifestyle, not a destination to earn or prove your way to. As you unendingly evolve and expand, failure, frustration, and fear will be part of your success, not the barrier to it. Each time you are moving through an upgrade, you will experience the three F’s. Your work is to remember success is already inherently yours because of who you are at your essence. The only way you can truly fail is by forgetting this.

True success is remembering that life is a gift. What might happen if you stopped making it a burden?

It can be challenging to be the newest version of yourself around the people who “know” you best. However, this is where the work is.

As you and others fall into old patterns, games, and roles, the first step in finding freedom is to choose love and compassion for everyone, including yourself. Forgiveness is the only thing that can neutralize a situation so something new can emerge. From a chosen fresh start, you can make tiny changes, which are actually the big changes.

Remember, the work you are doing on yourself is only working if it is making you more compassionate, loving, and forgiving. These are the states that unlock your creativity and power.

Where can you have some compassion to allow yourself to evolve?

Deciding is different than having it all figured out. We think we can wait until the latter happens, and then we can do the former, yet this is untrue.

We can only have it “all figured out” mentally in retrospect. The power of deciding lives in the uncertainty we think we need to relieve ourselves from. If we already had it all perfectly planned and guaranteed, we wouldn’t even need to decide; we would just flow effortlessly down the path.

Once we embrace the mystery ahead of us and truly decide, we receive the commitment and creativity we need to be able to expand and navigate the unknown.

What if you didn’t need to wait to have it all figured out to decide?

Courage is not something you need to try really hard to muster. It is not something you need to “work on” getting more of or wait around to earn. Courage is a loving force already within you that you can rest in.

You were born with courage inside of you, yet it’s not designed to make fear go away. It is designed to protect you as you move into action, as your fear of the unknown will subside once you begin.

You don’t need to try so hard or wait for fear to disappear. Instead, imagine courage as a loving embrace waiting to guide you toward the new experiences you deserve.

What if you could rest in the courage already within you?

There is no “right” path that will lead you to a destination with no problems. There is no secret to uncover that will help your mind know for sure that you are doing the very thing you “should” be doing to guarantee your preferences will come to fruition.

In this moment and any moment, there are infinite possibilities available to us that could lead us in a life-giving direction. Our job is to lean into the wisdom of our bodies rather than the fear of our thinking minds to help us discern the quality of the action we want to take. There is no right path, and there is a difference between a path that feels truthful to us and one that does not.

When we embrace the fact that we can’t guarantee anything in the future, we experience present-moment freedom, which is helpful because all we have is the present moment.

What if you took your attention off getting it “right” and put it on acting from the truth?

We are designed to become fulfilled through creating, not controlling.

This is because we can’t control the future. We can influence it a bit with what we create in the moment, yet we are not given jurisdiction over the outcomes of what we create.

The truth that we cannot control the future is not meant to make us apathetic or resigned. Instead, it is meant to liberate us to be present and learn to be guided by our own wisdom in the moment.

Where have you been stressing about an outcome instead of focusing on your creative contribution?

If we aim to enjoy our lives for the brief time we have, it will serve us to focus on the quality of what we are doing rather than the outcome of what we are doing.

There is no way to know if we are on the “right” path because infinite paths are available to us with endless possibilities, each with circumstances and outcomes unknown, including those we are on. If we stress whether our actions will land us in our preferred destinations, we will lead lives full of stress. And stress makes us do weird things.

If we can remember that it is not our job to control outcomes but to be creative and happy, as happiness helps us do life-giving things, we can focus on the essence of the energy we are bringing to the task at hand at the moment, bringing more fulfillment into our lives.

How do you sense your life would change if you stopped worrying about what you “should” be doing, focused on how you could be, and allowed things to unfold?

Most of us humans are addicted to thinking and worrying about the future, concerned that we might not get exactly what we want when we want it.

This concern is valid as do not have ultimate control over any future outcomes, yet our work is to embrace our lack of control, not resist it.

All of the things we think we will receive from our preferred outcomes, whether it is joy, peace, freedom, or love, are all available now, independent of our outcomes, and are coming our way if we are willing to be patient. However, the thing to discover about patience is it is not just waiting. It is an active space that we hold that allows us to redirect our energy to the present moment, which is the only place where life happens and the only place we can experience what we hope for.

What if life isn’t about the future and is about right now? Could you practice patience to help you practice presence?

Trying to get something old and broken to work again like it used to is not the best use of your energy.

Spending your energy resisting the reality of your circumstances may feel safer, yet there is nothing more dangerous than ignorance. Only when we are willing to welcome life precisely as it is happening, including our less-than-desirable thoughts and feelings about what is happening, can we find refuge in the creativity that gives us our purpose and fulfillment.

Your willingness to create with what is right now will create even more opportunity than what the circumstances of the past held. What if you lived your life believing this to be true?

What if you made your life about continuous, unending discovery instead of proving anything?

There will always be another level available- another level of truth, love, joy, wisdom, fulfillment, or anything else life-giving. In this context, the point of knowing there is another level is not to make you feel like the level you currently have is not enough. This belief in a never-ending unfolding provides you with comfort and faith that while we will inevitably experience challenges and heartbreaks, we are always guaranteed more of the good stuff in the long run.

There is nothing that can take your next level away from you. Each moment is an opportunity to learn and let go, making space for what is waiting. What if you stopped being against anyone or anything and started being for the next discovery?

You have a specific gift to give, and if you spend time comparing it to what someone else has to provide, either making yourself inferior or superior, we won’t be able to work together in the way we are meant to.

To thrive as a collective, we must all give what we have to provide and stop spending time trying to give what other people are meant to give or thinking that someone else should have the same strengths or perspectives we do. Some gifts may seem flashier or more obvious, but that doesn’t make them more essential or valuable.

What if you made your life about fully contributing your unique talents and working with others who are doing the same? Might you allow your strengths to come together in concert, creating a beautiful symphony greater than the sum of its parts?

Your inhale and your exhale work together to create your complete breath cycle.

You likely don’t waste time wishing you were inhaling when you are exhaling or vice versa. What if you could learn to trust the different spaces you move through over the course of your day or life and fully allow them to happen, knowing they are part of the whole?

If you're yearning for more balance and flow, could you shift your perspective? Instead of wishing and resisting where you are, could you start valuing it?

The thing that could be keeping you from thinking big enough is thinking.

What if you valued sensing, feeling, desiring, and allowing your way into seeing what might be possible rather than rationalizing yourself there? Could it be that your mind is simply iterating on what it has seen in your past and the path laid out by others? Could it be that you are focusing on the “how?” way too soon rather than the “why?” or the “what?”

Our thinking and rationalizing minds are powerful and help us execute many incredible things, yet we are meant to begin elsewhere—with the heart.

To dream and open up your doorway to contribute big, stop thinking, and start feeling, wondering, and allowing.

Where could you let your heart lead you to what is possible instead of your mind?

When we resist the self-transformation that life is asking us to undergo, we are resisting the blessings waiting for us on the other side.

Resistance repels the good things waiting for us. Acceptance and surrender open the space for us to receive.

What transformation are you resisting, where you could be receiving?

One of your most powerful resources in supporting yourself in expanding is a healthy dose of “So, what?”

We often tolerate our mind’s excuses and whining as acceptable reasons to abandon our dreams, longings, and commitments. When we can notice these normal yet harmful reactions to new and inconvenient things and be playful about how insignificant they are, we can choose to create our lives no matter what.

What if next time your mind said something like, “I would, but it’s hard, and I don’t know how,” you responded, “So, what?”
