There is only one YOU!

There is only one YOU!
In turbulent times, the pressure to conform is high and it is ok to seek to do that – sometimes.
 
Yet…
 
There is only one you 🙂
 
There are only about 4,000 weeks in the average lifetime!
 
So whatever you end up doing
 
Make sure you add a big dollop of YOUR THING into it!
 
And before you grab that Imposter Syndrome Badge and listen to that dark wolf on your shoulder who questions your abilities and motives- take a step back –
 
And shine a light on –
 
‘What If – you don’t do or discover the full potential of YOUR THING?’
 
What if – you conform, stay a spectator or let those dark voices drown out the love and joy of simply being uniquely YOU and DOING YOUR THING!!!
 
Or
 
You might be clear on DOING YOUR THING yet terrified to do it!
 
Or
 
You might say ‘I don’t know what my THING is?’
 
If you do know…
 
Consider how you can set yourself up to win – just focus everything you have on taking that first tiny step – not the journey as a whole – one step at a time – DO YOUR THING!
 
And, if you don’t know…
 
Well obviously, that is something worth discovering – and as with most great things – it comes from exploring, being curious, leaning in, having adventures, failing well, asking, learning and living life full on in the arena with others.
 
The recipe contains a ‘mishmash’ of your:
 
Talents and superpowers, outlook and character traits, skill set and knowledge, that know-how wisdom you have gathered, your experiences and the value you deliver to the world – JUST BY DOING YOUR THING in this world! (usually with others)
 
So …
 
  • What are you known for?
  • Who are you at your best?
  • Who do you want to be?
  • What do you want to do?
  • What do you want to have?
  • Who do you need to be to create the life you want to live?
  • What do you want to bring to this world right now?
  • What is stopping you?
 
It is not about purpose – Brendon Burchard highlighted this when he said stop focusing on finding your purpose in life just start being intentional in the choices you make daily and in each moment.
 
Starting with a focus, your immediate why and an expectation of an outcome – as a guiding star not some insurmountable goal to achieve on a distant shore – is a great place to start a new 2025 adventure.
 
It is just about being purposeful in your life^work – as you start a day, enter a room or consistently deliver on your commitments.
 
With an intention to bring the best of you to each moment or simply asking how can I best help?
 
It is about having the confidence that whatever life brings you can handle it and listening to those positive vibes and voices.
 
It is about believing in yourself and having the willingness to explore your recipe and your potential to find those THINGS that bring you alive, take you into your flow, help you grow and make you leap out of bed in the morning!
 
The value you offer the world is in consistently bringing YOUR THING aka yourself – to the table!
 
Make a commitment to yourself to find and DO YOUR THING!!
