What are you pulling in? 🧲

Hi reader,
What are you pulling into your life?
I was in a coaching session recently and explained our biggest power isn’t always becoming what we are, but deciding what we are not. Or, as I said in Build From Now, you are better off understanding the timing than making something happen on your own time.
They are both about focus, but instead of focusing on what we don’t have/what we aren’t/what we need, we focus on what we’re letting go of/not participating in/leaving behind.
It is removing the debris so something better can flow in.
It reminds me of those giant old-school Looney Tunes cartoon magnets: We want one specific thing, but then don’t realize that paper clips, ironing boards and a grand piano are also coming along for the ride.
What if we clear away the clutter first: Refine our systems, prune the proverbial hedges, and reinforce the foundation?
Many of the new opportunities hitting me right now are a direct result of planting seeds behind the scenes. In a few cases, we’re talking about a decade ago.
This doesn’t mean don’t make a move now.
It means, if you can’t make a move, assume you’re being given the gift of refinement.
Use it 🧲
