I’m not special.
I don’t have any super willpower strength. I’m not overly motivated. I don’t have any magic resources, hidden secrets, or gobs of money buying my success.
There is nothing special about me that makes me any more qualified than anyone else to lose the weight, start the business, or do the dang thing.
I just started showing up and doing it. Every. Damn. Day. That’s it.
When we see people doing the things we wish we could do, our brains immediately assume there must be something special about them. We think they must have something that we don’t that’s afforded them the ability to do the thing.
It’s a BS safety mechanism that holds us back and keeps us small. Because assuming that THEY are special, means that WE don’t have to show up and do the work. Believing that they are innately more gifted, talented, or qualified is feeding into the belief that we are less-than or incapable of achieving the same things.
But here’s the honest truth - there are hundreds, maybe even THOUSANDS, of people less qualified than you doing the exact thing you dream of doing simply because they started showing up and believing that they could.
Natural talent is great, but it’s the SHOWING UP that matters most. It’s being willing to fail your way forward, learn through the process, and grow through every challenge you face.
I’m not special. I’m simply an example of what’s possible when we dare to believe in ourselves. If I can do it, you can ABSOLUTELY do it too. Stop playing small, dream bigger for yourself, and keep showing up.
