The Meaningful Journey Weekly - Oct 19th: The Hidden Cost of "Someday" Thinking
|
Welcome to this Sunday's edition of The Meaningful Journey. This week, let's explore how waiting for the "perfect moment" might be the very thing keeping us stuck. 1. The Readiness Trap: We often tell ourselves we'll start when we're "ready" – when we have more time, money, or confidence. But readiness is built through action, not preparation. The best entrepreneurs didn't wait for permission; they gave it to themselves. [Link to your article on starting before you're ready] 2. Micro-Commitments Beat Grand Gestures: A 5-minute daily practice compounds faster than a monthly 3-hour session. Whether it's meditation, writing, or business planning, consistency creates capability. Start with what you can sustain, not what sounds impressive. 3. Your Environment is Your Strategy: You don't rise to your goals; you fall to the level of your systems. Surround yourself with reminders of who you're becoming – books, quotes, connections. Design your space to make growth the path of least resistance.

What’s one decision you’ve been putting off because you’re unsure of the “right move”? What would your values say if you asked them directly? With clarity, P.S.

January doesn’t arrive quietly. It shows up loud— goals, resets, reinventions, declarations. Everyone seems certain about what they’re becoming. But here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud: Clarity rarely shows up in January. It shows up after you stop pretending you already have it. Most of us don’t need a new version of ourselves. We need space to hear the version that’s been buried. Not improved. Not optimized. Just honest. This year doesn’t require you to move faster. It asks you...
Most of Your Beliefs Aren't Yours: You didn't choose your first religion, your political leanings as a kid, or your definition of success. You inherited them. Geography, family, culture... they handed you a script before you could read. The question isn't whether those beliefs are wrong. It's whether you ever actually chose them.

When You Feel Behind Before the Week Even Starts The Sunday Illusion Most people treat Sunday like a soft warning light — “be careful, tomorrow you’re back in the grind.” But here’s the shift: Sunday isn’t the end of the week. It’s the start of your rhythm. If you give yourself 10 minutes of clarity today, the entire week walks in differently. Simple Systems Beat Perfect Plans Trying to reset everything on Sunday is what makes you feel behind. Instead: Pick 1 anchor for your mind 🧠 Pick 1...
