Stop Being A Success Vampire

The solution is scary simple.

Here it is:
1. Decide what you want and why you want it.
2. Stop waiting for perfection.
3. Take action.

That’s it.

I am pretty fired up about this because in the past few weeks I have heard from so many amazing people who are keeping themselves stuck and unhappy because they are “waiting until…”

… there is more time in the day.
… more money is coming in.
… the ideal support system is in place.
… the timing is just right.
… he says I love you first.

Here is the thing, a magic fairy is not going to fly through the window and grant us with a 25th hour, a million dollars, or a team of helpful people, life circumstances that feel just right, or romantic partners that can read our minds.

The way we get what we are seeking is by taking inspired action.

If we paralyze ourselves waiting on perfection we will never ever get or achieve what we desire. Period.

We often set up all of these obstacles and conditions for ourselves because we are afraid.

We are afraid of failing. We are afraid that we don’t deserve what we desire. We are afraid that if we get what we desire we may still not be happy. The list goes on.

We let this fear show up as perfectionism and procrastination and it becomes a massive success and happiness vampire. It totally sucks the living out of our lives.

I totally understand. This is such a pet peeve of mine – because I’ve been there.

At some point though I got to the place where staying the same, staying stuck, was more terrifying than any alternative.

If you aren’t there yet, fine.

Stop beating yourself up about and drop the refrain of  “I really should…” and “I will when…” 

If you are ready – take action.

Decide what you want and choose one small action that you can take today.

Make the call. Have the conversation. Check your bank balance. Make a payment. Schedule the session. Sign up for the class. Take action toward your desires.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, or huge, or obviously life changing. It can be super small.

You don’t need to know the how. You just need to be clear on the why.

If you keep your intention clear it will guide you.

What do you want and why do you want it?

Let me know – what action are you going to take today?

I’d love to support you.
