Notice the meh / mundane days.
What's missing?

It is meaning or purpose?
Meaningful connection?
Absence of your favourite contributions, skills, or talents?
A gap of knowing-doing?
Unclear core values or aspirations?
Weariness of not being seen or heard authentically?
Boredom?
Or.... what else?

Is the pain of the unknown less than the pain of the known?
Is the risk too much?
Are there possibilities between same-old and meaningful life/work?

This being human thing is NOT nothing. Connection and 'better together' is a basic, essential universal need, which has been woven into the tapestry since the beginning of time.

Somewhere in the industrial and information, culture shifted the belief and practise of a superior view of self-made, independance. Belief that one should be able to succeed and/or achieve mastery without a village of support, became the expectation.

Folks, that's not working.

Humans survive and thrive when the right team of people are safe enough together than there is authentic empowerment of interdependent strengths moving forward together.

Name the people of your team or village. Say their names.

Just make sure there is a values alignment.

Lead yourself well.

Begin doing what you want to do now.

Begin being who you want to be now.

Why wait?

Lead yourself well.

It is true - that when we are ready, willing and able to step into discomfort for the respecting our goals, values and aspirations - sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.

When we allow our dissonance to surface, the 'treatment effect' can occur. When we notice what we need to notice, we can experience regret, difficult habits, ways of being, unhealthy attachments and the comfort of the familiar ways.

Awareness typically asks for change.
Change is typically uncomfortable.
There is no growth without change.

What we resist, persists.
