What is the key to overcoming overthinking?
Simple truth. You don't need to get it right the first time. You don't. You don't even need to be close. You just can't do nothing. You need to convince your feet to start moving. You need to generate momentum for some type of outcome. Because what that data, what that outcome will tell you is yes, keep doing more of that thing, or no, reel it in and try something different.
How do we build momentum in our lives?
But either way, progress is reliant upon that information. Going equals solutions. Staying equals hoping, wishing, lost opportunity. Every journey is a long, winding road. It's comprised of wrong turns and dead ends. There will be maintenance required, issues to be resolved, and narratives to be rewritten. None of which, by the way, is beyond you. So long as you take these things as they arrive, one by one, you open up your world to allow them in. And you might look at where you want to be and think that's a lot, right? That's a world away. No. It's a few tiny decisions away repeated daily. There's a Greek proverb that suggests beginning is half the battle. Why? Well, because convincing yourself you're capable is not easy.
Why is starting the journey essential?
Trusting yourself completely hurts. But it's not until we come around and greenlight the process. It's not until we give ourselves permission that life begins. How beautiful is the fact that we don't have to have all the answers. Not even close. We just need enough courage to step out into the storm, to brave the wind and the rain. I frequently allude to this transformation, right?
What does it mean to trust yourself?
The first time I spoke in front of an audience, I was terrified. The first few times, actually. Then after showing up, getting reps in, and reflecting, I realized, okay, I've earned a bit of confidence here. I continue to go, to speak, more reps, more reps. Okay, now we're, well, I guess now we're getting comfortable with this. I'm not up all night the night before rehearsing, pacing in hotel rooms. I had a little more trust in my ability. I continue, more reps, more reps, more reps. Okay, now, now I kind of enjoy this. I've broken through. More reps, more reps, more reps. Now there's enough comfortability where I can look at what's in front of me and start asking, well now, how do I refine this to stand out?
How do I make this so valuable that it becomes the 1% of the 1% of the 1%? I've worked hard for my baseline. I feel good. Now, how do I chisel away the little elements of mediocrity sprinkled in there? How do I pull them out one piece at a time? It is a testament to going. to allowing yourself to experience life and data points and ups and downs, all that help you refine the process. They are the journey. Can you do all that overnight? No, absolutely not. But you can always meet yourself where you are and win that battle. You can always become a little bit stronger, setting the stage for the next level and the next and the next. In fact, when you're in it, it feels so intuitive that you don't even realize what you're doing. One battle at a time.
How can we navigate through adversity?
You're just stepping on the stone in front of you. Think about it. You don't defeat a storm. You simply navigate through each gust of wind and every drop of rain. You pick apart and outlast the pieces that make up the storm, and you are capable of that. You're made for that. Again, when you give yourself permission to enter the arena that is adversity, that is the unknown, success is oddly intuitive. It just kind of appears in front of you one obstacle at a time, or one opportunity at a time, depending on how you're looking at. The problem is that too many of us stay on the sidelines. I think you know this, right?
What is the significance of embracing the unknown?
And when you wrap your mind around the fact that stagnation is the only adversary, you become free. You unlock what you could be and always should have been. I mean, how brilliant the mind. That incomprehensible network behind your eyes. capable of both putting a man into orbit and navigating the depths of the vast oceans that surround us. It is in and of itself a miracle. But what if I was audacious enough to suggest temporarily taking that miracle, that masterpiece, that network behind your eyes and shutting it off? for a moment, hitting pause on the defense mechanisms, actively painting what ifs and worst case scenarios. Begging you to play small and seemingly always prioritizing safety over meaning.
