Hhmmm, now where have I heard this before, let me think......😃 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP4Vf0gEYO4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

I discovered & have been watching Leila Hormozi on YouTube the past week (love her voice, and delivery) and she was waxing poetic on how real change requires SACRIFICE. Keeping in mind that she's the multi-millionaire CEO of Acquisition.com and LOVES to bust-ass: That "It will take time, and be hard." The mindset shifts necessary for true change take 1.5-2 years for you to reprogram. She says we have to give up thinking it will be EASY. There's no magic bullet. (I totally agree with this one...) Others I've heard have different beliefs: 1) when you're working toward your desired true calling, things flow and it feels easy, not like a struggle. (Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics) 2) When you're on the divine path going the right way for YOU, things just magically appear for you. The universe is working FOR you, not against you. You're no longer swimming upstream. @Tom Miller says it doesn't feel like WORK - work is love made visible. Maybe Leila is talking about massive business success? Or is everybody right? Yes, contrast experiences pop up when we're shooting for the stars; could Leila be referring to that, as what's "hard?" Could Tom's "doesn't feel like work" be because he's just so excited about his mission and true calling? Would the same effort feel different to someone else? He's exercised the muscle of determination for a long, long time. Thoughts and observations please! @Ryan Dalton @Daniel Bowles @Lisa Lopes @Cindy Witt @Lee-Ann Simmonds-Brown @Pia Raybuck @Maryse Gauthier @Jan Valentine Oberholzer

Kind of a Buddha-like comedian but in the end he resonates with me: "Happiness is your current situation, minus expectations." I love that. 😆 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iioxYJSVVY8

Geez humans, when will this sink in? 🤣🤣🤣 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPe1E9wD7aC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

My reflections this morning... Just felt to share this.... Safety looks comforting on the surface. Predictable. Controlled. Secure. But here’s the paradox: the more we cling to safety, the smaller our freedom becomes. True freedom doesn’t come from avoiding risk — it comes from trusting yourself enough to step beyond it. I’ve seen it again and again. When I choose to love what I do and trust its value, something shifts. Clients stop being “clients.” They become partners in exploration. Audiences stop being observers. They become co-creators of something alive. And in that space, I realize: I’m not the authority — I’m a fellow traveler. I learn just as much as I teach. Every conversation is a mirror, reflecting back what’s possible when we dare to go further. From there, fear loosens its grip. Mistakes turn into stepping stones. Rejection turns into feedback. Boundaries transform into invitations to expand. That’s what freedom really is — not the absence of risk, but the courage to move anyway, guided by curiosity and trust. 💡 What about you? Where have you stepped past “safe” — and discovered a deeper freedom waiting on the other side? ✨ Something to ponder: Freedom begins the moment you stop playing safe....
