I recently heard a line that sat me back in my chair. Jenna Kutcher was being interviewed about her new book, How Are You Really? Living Your Truth One Answer At A Time, when she dropped this gem.
“I want my life to feel better than it looks.”
Me too.
Looking back, I can see how much time and energy I put into creating a life that looked great on the outside thinking it would lead to feeling great on the inside. I thought that if I accomplished enough, the feelings would naturally follow.
Things are a lot different for me these days. Now I’m putting that same energy into creating a business and a life that feels great, even if it doesn’t always look [insert adjective here] to others.
The best part… I’m experiencing even greater levels of success by dropping the need to be anything other than what I am.
What about you? I invite you to take the next 7 minutes to think about what you’re using your time and energy to create.
