Remember when I said no more playing small?
Let’s talk about something similar: leaning into life.
When was the last time you gave one hundred percent one hundred percent of the time?
When was the last time you leaned into it?
We hold back, I think. As if we’re afraid to have fun, fully.
As if enjoying ourselves leads to some kind of karmic redemption—the other shoe always drops.
Doesn’t matter what it is. A hobby, a personal goal, work. Maybe love.
Most of us hold a little piece back.
We all have our reasons. Be it fear of failure or ridicule, lack of skill or support.
We feel vulnerable. What if I suck? What if it’s a waste of time?
What if that misses the point?
Don’t limit the joy you get out of the ride.
Not everything is about being the best. Not everything is about success.
It’s okay to lean in for the fun of it.
It’s okay to lean in for unfiltered fuck of it.
Because you want to, it fills your cup. Because it helps when life gets heavy.
Because the more you lean into life, the more life leans into you.
