You know when you have a new idea that you’re excited about?
And as soon as you get beyond the “What” and maybe dip a toe into the “Why”, you jump right to the “How”?
We humans barely give ourselves time to really enjoy dreaming into an idea - to revel in its deliciousness, or be thrilled by the possibilities - before we jump right to figuring out the logistics.
“How will I make this work? Who will I ask to help?” we ask. “When would I even find time to make this happen? What will I need to give up, or take on? Will it be worth all the effort I’ll put in?”
Which quickly becomes: “Am I even ready to take this on?…No, this will never work.”
In an instant, we can talk ourselves out of a GENIUS idea, simply because the HOW is unclear.
But that’s the How of Doing.
We can’t possibly know what circumstances, people or opportunities will present themselves to help us accomplish our idea.
But we can admit there are many different ways we might go about something and get the same result…right?
So, the only “How” we can control - and that truly matters then - is the How of Being.
How will you show up in each moment? What kind of person will you be while you’re making this happen? What qualities of your character will inform what you do? Which of your gifts can you tap into?
When you focus on how you will BE, the path of how you’ll DO it gets revealed.
Everything begins in the Being Place.
