Hi Leaders! Welcome to episode 55! Every moment marks a new beginning. Think about that! Every moment. Today I want you to grab your favorite beverage and simply soak up the message I have for you. For some of you, this is going to be deeply personal.
I’m talking with you about new beginnings! Whether you’re embarking on something new that’s really the biggest thing you’ve done in a long, long time. Or if you’re simply excited to be embracing new ideas. Or maybe you’re excited to get some new inspiration for the journey you’ve been on.
Today is about touching on the past, present, and future to use the power of new beginnings. Four weeks from now, four months from now, or a year from now I want you to be able to look back and acknowledge you did it!
You embraced the new beginnings, you channeled your excitement, you stayed the course, and can fully realize the joy and sense of accomplishment that you did it. You did it your way and in your own time.
We’ll touch on the past the present and the future.
The past. I’m here to say it’s ok to let go. All of us have things we set out to do and they didn’t transpire. We all have things that didn’t unfold the way we thought they might or hoped they would. It’s ok.
All the things you thought you would do, everything you thought you would have accomplished but didn’t. The relationships that didn’t work out the way you thought they would or hoped they would. The work you did to work toward a certain goal but didn’t quite hit the mark. It’s ok. And it’s ok to let it all go.
In fact, to realize what’s ahead for you; what’s on the horizon; the new people you’re meant to welcome, the path that you’ll be on, and all of the accomplishments yet to be, you need to make room for them.
It’s all waiting for you. One moment after another, each new beginning is waiting to unfold and to meet you right where you’re at. Right where you should be. And to fully receive it, let go of the past. It’s ok.
On to The present. When you’re welcoming all that can be with new beginnings there are a lot of decisions to be made. When every moment is a new beginning, being present means being intentional from one decision to the next.
There will be choices that lead you closer to realizing your crazy big dreams and there will be choices that steer you further away. Some of those choices may be necessary. But when you’re mindful of them and making them consciously, that’s a much different choice than making choices and decisions out of habit.
I’ve always believed, because I see it all the time, that leaders who are fulfilled, content, and successful (by their own measure) are leaders that can be decisive. This deserves its own podcast episode!
For today’s episode, the present, the right here and now, this means being able to make decisions that lead you closer and closer to realizing your crazy big dreams. They may not be popular decisions, easy decisions, or choices that you ever had to consider in the past.
Finally, the future.
It’s one thing to have a crazy big dream. It is something else altogether to be open and welcome it to actually happen. Truly embracing it to come into your life.
Holding our dreams just out of reach, fearing success, fearing the unknown, and navigating opportunities in ways that sabotage the fulfillment of our dreams subconsciously is incredibly common. Most of us don’t recognize when we’re doing this. We can do this subconsciously and not even be fully aware we’re holding our dreams just out of reach.
Being open and fully welcoming your crazy bid dreams to come to life is what the future is all about when we’re harnessing the power of new beginnings.
To recap, the past, present, and future:
the past: let it go. Make space for what’s ahead. If you look too long in the rearview mirror you miss what’s right in front of you.
The present. Be decisive in a way that supports you in getting closer to your crazy big dreams, not further away.
Finally the future. Don’t just want something. Be open to receiving it.
I hope you’ll embrace every moment as the new beginning that it truly is. You are right where you’re meant to be. In four weeks, four months, and one year from now, let’s celebrate all that you’ve accomplished.
The best is yet to come! Always.
