I'm back from my time off, but I didn't feel brave today...
If I’m honest, I was having a hard time before I opened Skool this morning. My energy was low. I could feel fear sitting in my chest. It was one of those days where showing up didn’t feel brave. Instead, it felt heavy. And I actually caught myself thinking, “I don’t feel brave today.” So, I took a deep breath, opened my laptop, and reminded myself of the beautiful souls in this community. I told myself, “Just open Skool. Just take the next step. Let each action flow, one at a time.” No grand speech. No big push. Just trying to face this feeling of uncertainty. And then I saw this post from @Anzumana Taal. His gratitude came at exactly the moment I needed it most. Truly. It felt like a quiet nudge from God saying, “Keep going.” And the video he shared of Simon Sinek (my favorite author and speaker) was so apropos. His message about friendship and growth… that we agree to grow together… that I’ll help you, and you’ll help me… that we walk toward becoming better versions of ourselves side by side — that’s exactly what this community is. This isn’t me lifting everyone up. It’s us lifting each other. Some days I’ll have more energy...and you’ll lean on me. Some days you’ll speak courage back into me without even realizing it. Just like how Anzu did to me just now unknowingly at the right time. That’s community. That’s friendship. That’s growth. Thank you for being part of this with me. I appreciate you all more than you know. 🙏
