About the need to get it right and get it done: Don’t push the river.
š
There are gifts and opportunities in everything, so you literally cannot get it (anything, your life) wrong.
Yes, even the very, very bad stuff.
I was laid off from my job in 2004 and took the first one that came along – a very (VERY) bad one.
The opportunity was for me to widen my gaze, shift my perspective and value my worth and the gift wasĀ Tropical Shipping.

Getting it all done (whatever ‘it’ is for you) is both impossible and unnecessary.
Yes, even the really, really big stuff.
Raising your kids, building your business, being a good friendšÆāāļø, losing loved ones, self-development, educationš¤, surviving your house blowing up with you in it, patience, š«¶spiritual practice, finding the perfect nail color š
, losing everything, reading the classics, understanding, tolerance, finishing the NYT Sunday crossword, grief, recovery, keeping in touch, loveā¤ļø, getting caught up on – anything!
Getting it right and getting it done are two things many of us *think* we have to do and spend so much time worrying about.
But you don’t have to.
You can put down those burdens.
You don’t have to carry them.
š THIS is haaaaard.
No doubt.
It has taken a LOT for me to learn it.
But it is true.
As true for me as it can be for you.
Whatever is happening, please know there are gifts and opportunities there to be found and to be enjoyed.
Find what feels good in whatever you experience – and it will be.
Yes, it will.
