As humans we’re not very logical. We may think we are, but if you look at the way people operate, we’re driven by emotions far more than we care to admit.

For example, how much energy do we put into avoiding the very things we know will make our lives better?

Avoid, procrastinate, ignore, and all the mental gymnastics we go through to circumvent a simple solution – we’re pros at this.

We don’t want to admit to ourselves what we already know…because it may be painful, or messy, or require our effort and work to deal with.

So we choose the comfort zone.

But the comfort zone isn’t really comfortable. This familiar (yet ironically uncomfortable place) requires a ton of energy to hold back the pressing weight of what we know needs to be done to deal with whatever obstacle we’re avoiding.

And at the end of the day, the effort we put into avoiding, sabotaging and delaying is much higher than what it would take to just do the thing.

So if you’d like some inspiration to get fired up and do the things consider this:

Our greatest joy and fulfillment comes from overcoming obstacles.

Think about it – how good does it feel to solve a problem?

Can you think of a time you did something beyond your known limits? And how rewarding it was, even if it didn’t go perfectly?

This is the energy we want to bottle up and carry with us in our life: the fire to overcome our obstacles. To organize a mess and create harmony from discord. To carry the weight of life forward with the heart of a warrior. Leading with love and never giving up on ourselves.

So here’s my wish for you: May the strength of the Sun this Summer Solstice bring you the energy you desire to get fired up and tackle the big or little obstacles that add up in your life.

To shape your life into something even more good and beautiful than it is today. And know this: you’ve got at least fan cheering you on. You can do it!

Love,

Genevieve
