“You are hard-wired by connection!”
…
“Not caring what people think is its own kind of hustle!” ~Brene Brown
“Leap and the net will appear.”
~Julia Cameron
Do you believe in risk? Do you believe in luck?
I do believe in synchronicity.
Is “Luck” something that happens to you?
Is synchronicity something that begins in your consciousness?
Is risk something you undertake?
Is luck passive?
Can you trigger synchronicity?
Can you trigger it through risk, courage, and willingness?
Goethe– statesman, scholar, risk-taker– told us, “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.” He was not kidding.
Can you trigger synchro destiny through preparedness, focus, and joy?
Do you want synchronicity? Do you want to fulfill your destiny? Because you can.
Listen to explorer William Hutchinson Murray on that:
Concerning all acts of initiative or creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
Cameron, Murray, and Goethe are making us a promise here: “Leap, and [then] the net will appear.”
Do you really like it the other way around?
Do you unconsciously ask, “Show me the net and then I’ll leap?”
Do you say, “Give me the job, the date, the deal, and then I’ll commit?”
Do you avoid commitment and risk?
Why do you do that?
Do you do that to avoid being criticized?
Brene Brown shared this quote:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt, the Man in the Arena. Delivered at the Sorbonne (Paris) on April 23rd, 1910.
In order to risk, you have to be willing to look bad. You have to be willing to be daring! You have to be willing to be seen.
And as Brene Brown puts it, “Painfully seen!”
Be in the Arena, making what is yours to make into this world! And you do not have to do it alone!
