Uneasy feelings

Often, when we are hesitant about starting or saying something there is an uncomfortable feeling.

Use that feeling as your guide.

We do not get that feeling about unimportant stuff. We get it when it matters, when there’s a risk, when we could be thrown out of our safety zone.

When it feels uneasy, just do it, unease is our guide.

Work in progress

I am a work in progress.

You are a work in progress.

That’s how we can choose to be for our entire lives.

There is never a finished product. Each stage we can learn, get even better, move up a level.

It’s a choice though.

Many times we can become comfortable, settled, think we are there. That’s OK too, there is nothing wrong with being comfortable.

However, often with staying still comes regret, comes disappointment.

The work in progress is best slow and steady, small incremental improvements, not giant leaps.

Finally, we can choose to enjoy the journey instead of settling for a particular destination or outcome.

Being a work in progress leaves us open, creative, resilient and genuine.
