I love “positive-curious” it’s amazing state to be in & inspire others to take. I enjoy helping people develop into their full potential! I too used to think setting a high bar was the way to get there. Maybe at the start it is. But then, when I consistently reached beyond what I was capable of, the cost of downfall became overwhelming. After years of that, I couldn’t get back up again. Then I asked a new question: What if I let go of “should?” The justifications for taking action were masking something very beautiful. When the “should” is gone, what’s left is intrinsic motivation. Turns out I’m curious & love trying new things. I also attract people like that & enjoy hanging out with them. Now I’m doing the most impactful work of my life, but with much less pressure on myself. Sometimes I worry about all the things I didn’t do that I thought I would. Rather than turn that into “I’ll get back on track” I simply acknowledge that I’m feeling sad & experiencing some fear about the meaning of my life. The gift I get in return: I can be open with my team that I feel afraid, breath, and refocus on enjoying the day.
