I wish I knew sooner how simple all of this actually is.
I wish I knew sooner how you can actually watch something next level PHENOMENAL build through the simple daily showing up.
I wish I knew sooner that just deciding to put an AVERAGE amount of time in … like even 30 minutes a day … to write, speak, let SOMETHING out … would over time compound into a body of work and an impact you NEVER thought possible.
I wish also that I knew sooner to admit and back the fact that of course I ALWAYS knew it was possible.
I ALWAYS knew deep within me that I was born to make millions. Impact millions. And change the world with what was inside of me.
Oh man I wish I knew sooner to let Jesus be the centre and leading of all of that. Whew!
But I also wish I knew SO much sooner to not question whether I was really just self-centred, wanted it to all be about me, or if maybe I shouldn’t dream like that because why SHOULD I expect all of that?
I wish I knew sooner to expect precisely what I woke up out of the womb with, what I gradually understood I was seeing vision for, what I bit by bit knew I was born for.
I wish I knew sooner to make certain basic small habits non-negotiable each day, rather than based on my emotions or whether I thought I knew how!
I used to write book ideas endlessly in my journaling at 22 years old. But I was also writing them since probably 5 or 6 years old. And then around 31 years old somebody told me – just be an average writer. Meaning, put an average amount of time in each day. And watch what happens.
That HIT me. It allowed me to fire death shots at the pedestal of perfection and just … start.
I thought maybe in a year I’ll be able to produce a book. 5 months later, mid 2011? I’d poured out and published my first solo book, ‘The Secret Life of a Binge Eater’. Still my best-selling book on Amazon to this day, and I published 60 PLUS after that. (Most of which are taken down now, but the new ones are coming!)
Wanna know what else? I used that just show up principle to walk forward in what then became a multi 8-figure coaching business!
Everyone thought I had some secret but ALL I DID WAS SHOW UP ON REPEAT. I was ruthless about not allowing my doubts and fears to be in the driver seat of whether or not I let the message out. I was disciplined about not critiquing or being the editor of my own message, just letting it out. And I was next level consistent with seeing my business as a business which was OPEN for business meaning … I just kept on creating and selling. I mean … wouldn’t it be odd if your favourite local restaurant told you they don’t have anything to sell right now because they just sold last week?
I decided it got to be easy, simple, obvious, and JUST WHAT IT WAS to show up and be me.
And sister? Brother? Friend? I’M DOING IT AGAIN NOW.
I’ve spent the last few years being remade GLORIOUSLY in my walk with God, but one thing I’m glad to have walked out of from that period (which was about my fears not God’s love!) is the idea that I have to be careful to be me.
Ugh, it latched ON!
I don’t regret it, because in the end it brought me deeper into trusting I AM God’s daughter and that He wired me BRILLIANTLY the first time, so I’ll just show up and be me, now version!
Ya know?
Now how ’bout you?
You wanna start walking this thing forward the let it be EASY way?
I don’t mean it won’t smack you in the face with all kinds of stuff at times, but either way it’s a heck of a lot easier to just wake up and be who you are today who is a person who also lets out what’s IN them, then what it is to keep refusing to stay smack bang in the vision of your own life!
And I just think it’s time, you know?
It’s time for the dreamers. Messengers. Visionaries. And waymakers. To once again walk forward letting brilliance pour outta them, and trusting God is weaving it all together perfectly. The tapestry is you being you!
So. That’s a sermon for you today.
But also?
Your place in Blow Up Brilliant is waiting! I’m on zoom later today if you want to do Day 3 live with me! Replays and daily flow are ongoing for 30 days and you get lifetime access.
Blow Up Brilliant.
It’s time to return to the flavour of being you again. But only the no holds barred way yeah?
YEAH.
