I help busy people do inner work.
Sometimes, experiencing the emotions that come from messing up lights a fire that accelerates improvement faster than contentment ever could.
Sometimes, standing between you and your next level of growth is a locked door.
And quickly trying to kick it down doesn’t work (like it might for some other doors).
No. This door, needs the right key.
But, which one is it?
We’re told all of the time that:
How to know which one is the real key?
Well, there’s only one way to find out.
Try each.
Here’s the thing: all of these keys are easily accessible and free for you to use. Heck, you can even add each of them to your key ring and use them daily if you’re up to it.
The real key is to stop trying to rashly kick down doors and to use what’s right in your hands.
The person who tries to dodge every raindrop gets hit just as many times as the person who walks calmly forward.
And so it is for the person who tries to dodge every mistake, error, issue, problem, challenge, obstacle, fault, slip-up, oversight, flaw, imperfection, adversity, responsibility…
The way I see it, the rain is inevitably going to come down over each of us. We can try to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge every drop to avoid getting wet—which will only end in vain.
Or we can feel the rain and walk calmly forward.
