Is It a Sign?
“I’M WAITING FOR A SIGN.”
What I'm about to say may come across as unkind, and I wish there were a better way to say it. Put bluntly, "waiting on a sign" is ridiculous.
And, to be clear, I've waited on "signs" myself. It was ridiculous. 😴
When we make those kinds of statements, we're squashing every ounce of our own power. We're making a powerful decision to keep playing small. We're ensuring that we remain stagnant.
TRUTH: IT'S NEVER ABOUT THE SIGN...
Because when the sign DOES come (and it will … over and over again), all we'll do is ask, “Is that the sign?
"A notebook and pen were just dropped on the front porch by a bird... A NOTEBOOK AND PEN CARRYING BIRD!"
...But…is it a sign?"
We’re so resistant and fearful that we won’t recognize the sign even when it slaps us right between the eyes...
Because we don’t want to...
Because if we acknowledge the sign, we have to start...
If we start, we have to finish... 💯
If we finish, we have to publish... 📒
If we publishing, someone might not like it... 👎
It might not sell...
We might “fail.”
...BUT…
Nothing changes if nothing changes...
What you know FOR SURE is that if you continue to wait on “a sign,” your story will never be told...
📣 If you publish, there is a 100% chance that it will require persistence to get your message out –-- even if you’re Brene Brown or Jen Sincero or Gary Vaynerchuk.
And if you do nothing, there is a 100% chance that your story will impact NO ONE That your legacy will remain shrouded in mystery.
You’ll never know how many doors your message could have opened. How many lives it could have affected. 👏🙌
