so you can fine-tune your offer . Be grateful for failure , it will expedite your success .
“ I have not failed . I ’ ve just found 10,000 ways that won ’ t work .” ~ Thomas Edison
4 . FORGIVE Failure sucks , but it ’ s important to release any self-judgment immediately . Developing compassion will keep your sassy self in motion . Once you realize that perfection is an illusion , you ’ re free to create and try new things . Indulging in thoughts like , “ I could ’ ve been better ” or “ I should be different ” is straight up mental masturbation . Being willing to fail and then immediately forgive will protect your confidence and ability to keep taking action .
5 . LET GO OF CONTROL Truth . You can only control so much of the creation process . If you are trying to manipulate the outcome , you ’ re paradoxically pushing away the very thing you want . When you let go of what you think you want , there is space for what you really need to show up . Who are you to say what ’ s best in this moment ? There is a divine plan unfolding for your highest good . A plan that is bigger and better than you could ever imagine for yourself . Remain unattached to the outcome so that the richness of success can flow into your life in unimaginable ways .
6 . THRIVE IN AUTHENTICITY Getting started is a deeply intuitive process . In the vulnerable stages of getting started it ’ s easy to fall prey to what we think we “ should ” be doing . Just because something works for someone else doesn ’ t mean it will work for you . What will work for you is being in alignment with your talents and playing to your strengths . Resist the trap of comparison by keeping a list of every little accomplishment and breakthrough you have along the way . The more authentic you are , the more valuable and magnetic you and your offer become .
Remember that nobody is you ; that is your power .
7 . PRACTICE DEVOTION Be a fierce stand for what you believe in . Don ’ t take a stand . Be a stand . When you are connected to a mission that serves both you and others , fear takes a back seat . All of those ridiculous reasons why something won ’ t work will crumble as you shift your focus onto the one reason why it will work out . Your devotion to be you is what makes taking action possible because your mission is merely an extension of who you are , what you believe and therefore , what you must do . You know that feeling like you just have to do something ?
“ Inspiration exists , but it has to find you working .” ~ Pablo Picasso
