Change is rarely easy but often times it is oh so necessary.

Today, I’m talking to each and every one of you seeking change but just don’t know how to or when to start.

I’ll make it real simple for you.

Start today.

Here’s the deal though, it doesn’t have to be HUGE steps right at first!

“Conscience congruent living turns confusion to clarity”
- Wes Watson

Read that again.

Step number 1: Get started but as you get started understand that the sooner you can have crystal clear clarity the sooner you can break free from the shackles of analysis paralysis and take decisive action.

'‘Analysis paralysis occurs when you overthink and underwork”
- Orrin Woodwork

While it's essential to seek clarity, it's equally important to recognize that clarity often emerges through action, not before it.

So quit waiting around and overthinking, homie!

As you move forward, each step, guided by a conscience congruent with your values (go reread one of my all time favorite newsletters posted back in September titled, 🏆TO BECOME A CHAMPION🏆 for how to come up with your non negotiable values), not only brings clarity into sharper focus but also builds the confidence and resilience necessary for navigating the inevitable twists and turns of personal growth and change.

In essence, the act of getting started, imperfectly but earnestly, is the catalyst that transforms confusion into clarity, turning the daunting journey of change into a series of enlightening discoveries.

Step number 2: An easy way to get started is to start with just one daily action. Just one. Again, it doesn’t take much but without change there will be no change.

So get started, just one simple action today (yes, a simple step, it doesn't need to be extravagant) and then do it again tomorrow, and the day after, and then again after that, and don’t stop. With that action, you'll begin the process of trusting yourself to move forward even further.

With that trust, you'll create more self confidence.

The more confidence you have in yourself the more courage you'll have to take another step and another, and the more steps you take the closer you are to that must needed change.

Do NOT let it frighten you.

Even if you’re in the middle of the sh*t, even if life feels in shambles. We’ve all been there, life’s waves can be relentless and at times will have their way with you. But no matter how hard or how often those waves batter you against the rocks, no matter how hard it is to breathe, KNOW THIS:

GROW THROUGH WHAT YOU GO THROUGH!

So you especially need to embrace that sh*t! There’s a bigger plan for you but you have to accept it and as the Marine’s say: “Improvise, adapt, overcome!”

Now, with all of that said, you canNOT forget or lose sight of that very first picture containing that quote from world renowned author, Paulo Coehlo (scroll back up for a refresher). Direction is important. Clarity is key.

So while I'm certainly championing you to start without it, it's important to understand you won't finish without it. Or you'll be end up in the wrong destination.

Just as a compass points unwaveringly north, so too does a clear conscience guide you towards decisions and paths that resonate with your true self. The sooner you achieve this clarity, the sooner you will find that change, leading a life of purpose, having the ultimate influence and impact on everyone you come in contact with, inspiring them all to follow in your footsteps!

IMAGINE THAT!

Thanks again for reading!

Much love, mi gente!
