The Tree And the Fence

Quick, name one thing that is preventing your success or keeping you from reaching a goal. 

Don't dwell on the answer, just blurt it out! Now ask, is this something within my power to change? 

Regardless of what your blocker is, the answer is YES, you can change your circumstances and remove any obstacle!

All too often we allow negative self-talk to rule out day. And when that's not giving us the excuse we want, we turn to comparison shopping for progress. You know, "THEY are farther along than me...".  And don't even get me started on believing in the "shoulds."

You are a unique combination of gifts and talents and you are positioned in time and place to make a difference. And the reality is you are making a difference, the only question is, is it a positive or a negative one. 

Just because you are talented and gifted doesn't mean you don't have to put in effort toward the outcome though. Pick any great athlete, they still had to put in the work to achieve greatness, and so do you!

Just like the tree in this picture, don't let any fence stop you from following your path to success. Yeah, you might have to go under or around and it might not be the prettiest...but it will be yours! 

You may look at a fence or a wall and see an obstacle, something that will influence you to change your course. Instead, see it as an opportunity to overcome something that would stop a lesser person, someone who will have to settle for mediocre while you enjoy the fruits of your effort.

When you get stuck and need a hand seeing past your next fence or wall, DM me. I can help. And join me for a bit of daily inspiration, watch or listen to my daily video podcast (link in bio). 

Enjoy!
