I just felt I should share this it's a beautiful quote from Helen Keller. This is so in line with our work we do to feel come from our hearts 💜

It isn’t laziness, it’s how you’re seeing it Ever notice how you can finish a whole series in a weekend… but the business you said you’d start is still in your notes The YouTube channel is still a banner and a username The offer is still a Google Doc with three headings and a vibe It is not that we can’t finish. We finish all the time. We finish what we don’t turn into a thing. A film is a stream while you are in it. A meal is an unfolding. Even great gym sessions or deep conversations… they carry themselves because you are not standing outside judging them as trophies. But the second the mind labels a big project as a thing to finish… it gets heavy. Now there is a you over here and a thing over there. A gap to cross. A standard to meet. An image to protect. A future to fear. That gap is friction. Friction breeds delay. Delay breeds stories. Stories breed more delay. What's crazy is… it isn’t that the project that is hard, it is that the identity tied to it is hard. The business is no longer a series of human moves, it is proof that you are worthy. The channel is not just a posting habit, it is a judgment on whether people rate you. The offer is not a page, it is your self esteem in font size 16. So we orbit it like a sponge to water Because if it never ships, never leaves the dock, it can never be judged. This is where presence cuts through, not as a technique, but as a different way of seeing. Presence removes the thingness. When we rest as what we are, the project stops being an object we push, and becomes a scene we enter. There is no performer to protect, so the stakes drop. No imaginary audience to impress, so attention returns. No gap to cross, so the next obvious move is… obvious. Make the banner. Record the messy first video. Publish the page that is 70 percent baked. Email the first ten people. Not heroic. Not sexy. Just the momentum that shows up when no one is negotiating with the moment. Everything we want to finish is also us.
