If you want to move into new areas and transform to become the person you need to be for this next chapter of growth and level of play in life, you’ll need to consider this principle.
One of the most important principles for growth is simply leaning in to a new pursuit or goal and surrendering to the will and the power of the process to get there.
What I mean by that is that as a Type A, highly driven and organized person, I want to have order, predictability and to plan and time everything.
However, life doesn’t always follow a set plan or timeline. Sometimes when the most unique and profound transformation and growth happens, it’s because we are simply open to it.
We organically lean into the process and surrender our will to the determination of the how, not necessarily the why, as that should be clear.
We often tell ourselves stories or think we should have something done a certain way, on a certain timeline and how it should be done to achieve our goal.
What I’m learning more and more, though, is that I am exactly where I need to be right now. Things shouldn’t have happened any bit before or any bit after when it’s happening right now, today, in this moment.
I’m so incredibly grateful for the people I am meeting—the energy, positivity, ambition and success that I’m around every day.
I am leaning in, making all of my intentions become reality by being fully present, open and surrendered to the process.
As a result of doing this, I’ve had many opportunities I never would have imagined open right up.
Proximity is power.
We need to make sure we’re strategically placing ourselves in the right circles, communities and around the right people we can network with, serve and help.
Find ways to elevate our own path.
That very concept is one of the most important things I’ve come to learn by attending a lot of events and Masterminds.
One of the most important benefits we can get by investing in our network growth and in building community through this method are the people that we become exposed to.
We learn their ideas and ways of thinking and how that knowledge can truly enrich and broaden our lives, moving us closer to where we want to ultimately be.
Never stop dreaming big, reevaluating and being open and vulnerable to the fact that your dreams are going to change over time. The path to get there is going to shift multiple times.
And that’s okay.
What we can really benefit from is leaning into the process and making sure that we’re always open, receptive and ready to do what it takes to elevate and grow into that next version of our best selves.
Be ready to compete and reach that next level of play.
Let’s GO!
