Self-direction means taking a risk. It means you go against the tide, it can feel like an uphill slog.
Frankly, it’s more than one risk, it’s many, over and over. I can tell you I’ve been ridiculed more than once.
I realise the only way to learn is to get out there and do things, not knowing exactly what’s going to materialise, how things will manifest. It’s a scary business and it requires a huge amount of self-belief.
That’s what I’m working on. Far less second-guessing, far less doubt, more and more willingness. That’s what it takes.
And, I’ve certainly found, the more I do and throw caution to the wind, the more answers have come to me, the more connections I’ve made and the more relaxed I’ve become.
Progress is meant to feel satisfying and be useful.
Take more steps.
