Hi {{ first name | reader }},

Here’s a secret overachievers like you (and me!) hate to admit:

Things move when we stop trying so damn much.

The dates line up when we aren’t looking

The money flows when the grip loosens

Business blooms in moments of trust.

I think the secret is that we are already pushing

When we think we aren’t

And are strategizing

When we’re quiet.

It’s often our overdoing it

That burns us out

Or even

Mucks up things already in motion 😵‍💫

And now for something new!

Bring Your Worth Radio on BringYourWorth.tv is the best episodes on ownership, money making, and self-worth from the past six years. It’s several hours you can put in the background as you work, walk, or drive.

Curated by me, Bring Your Worth Radio plays live with the chat open. Hop in anytime with your questions and I’ll talk about them in future episodes.

Recently I’ve noticed where I’ve been going too hard

On the universe

On others

On self.

Part of it is because I don’t have the stamina I always had to power through

Hello middle age!

More of it is because I don’t want to power through

Hello maturity!

I’m still working on feeling like I’m doing enough

Which, really, is working on me feeling like I’m enough.

The gap is still there.

But life has given enough bumpy roads

To slow me down just enough to see the gap.

Is your foot still mashed down on the gas pedal?

I wonder what would happen if you just went the speed limit.

What are you afraid will happen if you stop white knuckling the wheel? 🚙💨
