Heart on fire and lots of bu****it.
This year I invested in a year long mindset training program so I could continue to be the leader I want to be, and grow where I needed to grow.
I’m a pretty happy person at baseline, but when you elevate your impact, you elevate your problems, the number of people who rely on you and open yourself up to scrutiny.
As you hit your growth ceiling you also put pressure on your weaknesses. My paperwork disorganization, spelling errors and heart are on display every single day.
It’s how you handle these things that separates the leaders from people who stay the same. It takes the same amount of energy to be upset about the small things as it does to feel grateful for them. But until you train your default to be gratitude, the negativity will always feel easier (and quite frankly, more relatable).
My drivers licence is expired. Which I realized 10 minutes before leaving for the airport where I’m renting a car on the other end. I’m not eligible for online renewal.
Two choices. Be pi**ed, or be the nicest fu***ng person who has ever flown into service Ontario in the history of drivers licences and have the women there support you so hard so you can make your flight on time and get a car on the other side.
I picked the second option 😉.
Also, the lid on my salad was defective and it dumped everywhere. I had to buy a second salad. 🤷🏼♀️. We can laugh or we can be angry. I got a bag for salad #2.
Also I forgot my debit card.
Also I travel with all of my lifting gear as a rule and I’m excited to ski Banff.
My word of the year (well, I have two! Because I’m extra like that) is UNLOCK.
Unlock love. Lead with heart. It’s the only way I’ll survive leading it all anyways 😉. (Also how can you be mad in a sparkly t shirt. You can’t!)
(My other word was SCALE, because LFG 😎).
