Don't take life too seriously.
You'll never get out of it alive.
- Elbert Hubbard
Are you taking life too seriously?
I'm not talking about showing up with commitment, focus and discipline. That's awesome!
I'm talking about not speaking up. I'm talking about hiding who you are. I'm talking about not fully exploring what a meaningful transition could look like for you. I'm talking saying no to opportunities that excite you.
I'm talking being paralyzed in decision making and ruminating on every single thing you do.
We can take things so seriously it's the biggest thing that holds us back.
Serious can also be the armor that hides fear. Just like perfectionism and procrastination.
For me it can be showing up on social media. You would think the entire world would see a post sometimes with the amount of focus I put on it. #confession
If I didn't take that so seriously you would see so much more of me in a way that honors my vision of being a supportive coach who wants to help you live your truest, boldest life.
Me taking things aka myself too seriously is stopping me from doing what it is I want most. Isn't that ironic? Don't ya think?
I would take things less seriously because not only will it not matter at end of life. It probably won't matter in two hours.
What is it for you that you take so seriously you are stuck in it?
No one gets out of here alive but we can choose at any moment to do it differently.
