All In- Day 37

“Rowing harder doesn’t matter if you are headed in the wrong direction. “

It’s taken me almost 2 years to realize that I might be afraid to go all in on myself. Don’t get me wrong I believe everything happens for a reason, but I keep allowing myself to be pulled in too many directions. And while those opportunities have allowed me to grow and develop I think it’s come to a point where I need to pick and choose.

I’m not sure if I’m scared, distracted by the shiny objects or something else but at this point it seems silly how successful I could be if I put all my energy in one direction.

A mentor of mine once asked: What is it about success that scares you?

At the time I said: NOTHING. Of course I wanted success. But as I reflect my actions don’t show that.

The more I reflect the more I think it’s about being selfish. For me I need to show up for myself and put blinders on to the rest of the world. Which is hard being a true empath. I want to help and be a part of other things.

But that’s the thing about leadership —> Only when your house is in order can you truly give your best to the world.

So here I am, going all in on me, for me.

I challenge you to do the same. Because after all if you wouldn’t bet on yourself why would anyone else?
