“The journey of a thousand miles begins with the one step” -Lao Tzu

Dear Sister,

Have you ever felt stuck in procrastination, unable to move an idea or vision forward?

I have. And damn it’s frustrating! Especially when you know that you have so much to offer and share, but there’s something that still seems to be holding you back.

I totally understand and have compassion for this… there have been many times in my life when I let perfectionism hold me back from taking action.

Sometimes when I had an idea, vision, or dream, I would think…

• If it’s not totally all 100% dialed in and figured out, I shouldn’t move forward on any of it.
  
  
• If I don’t fully know what I’m doing, I should wait to learn more, and more, and more until I”m an expert on…. (fill in the blank). Then I’ll be ready.
  
  
• There are already so many people out there doing (fill in the blank)... I need to find something totally different and new or else what difference can it make really??

Does any of this sound familiar? Do you ever feel like there’s something inside that is just bursting to come out, and for whatever reason... it’s so freakin’ hard to TAKE ACTION?!

In this week’s video, I talk about the power of taking imperfect action, and why it’s far better than being stuck in procrastination for years.

Here’s the thing…

You are a unique person with beautiful gifts and a damn bright light to share. Your dreams matter. Your creative visions and ideas are so important for the healing and transformation of our world.  

You are also imperfect, and that’s damn beautiful too. It’s refreshing, actually. Imperfections and all, your dreams and creative visions MATTER.

Anything you want to create or bring forth in the world requires you to take a bold and brave first step, and that first step is often the most difficult to do because of pesky perfectionism.

But it’s OK if whatever we do is imperfect, at least it’s MOVEMENT FORWARD. And your visions and dreams deserve to move forward, no matter what. 

And another fascinating thing I’ve found is that I may not actually discover a pathway forward with my ideas or intentions UNTIL I take the first step.

It’s almost like an initiation for me once I say YES and take the first step… the rest is then revealed. It’s magical like that!

I have learned that if I wait until I have it all perfect, I will wait forever. I now do my best to allow a sort of trust fall with my ideas and creations and know that the universe will support and provide the next steps if I boldly trust the visions and dreams that come from my heart.

I hope you enjoy this video… and that it inspires you to take action on the beautiful visions and dreams in your heart, too.

Because you deserve to, and the world needs your heart’s creations now more than ever.

With love,

Laura
