One of my favourite sayings over the last few years has been “we can do hard things”. Because I’ve learned that if we aren’t doing hard things we are hiding.
We all have different ways to hide, it’s important to look for your way, so you recognize it when it shows up.
When we consistently make an effort show up we have no choice but to become accountable for ourselves because we are constantly exposing ourselves.
The more we expose ourselves, the more we learn what matters.
And the more we learn what matters, the better we get at showing up in a way that makes a difference.
But when we hide and we do what’s easy, eventually something will call us out.
When that time come, who do you want to be?
The guy who is constantly exposing himself, has leaned how to be exposed with grace, and therefore isn’t scared of being called out?
Or the guy who has been hiding and taking the easy road?
You can do hard things and it’s worth it when you do, for reasons you can’t even begin to imagine from where you’re standing.
You never know who is swimming naked until the tide goes out.” – Warren Buffet
