My coach persona knows that starting any venture can be challenging for most people. But my Knowledgeable Achiever (see Rhys Thomas’ Life Purpose Profiles for more info) is keeping up a constant drumbeat in the background that says – You are not Most People, you need to be Perfect. 

So you can imagine the pressure I faced trying to get this website up and running! I spent hours and hours doing things over and over and going back and forth about whether this or that would be better. And I definitely had to have the perfect introductory video! Except that I couldn’t find the perfect person to do the video and I couldn’t decide what I wanted in the video anyway. I nearly drove the team at Glace Grafix crazy.

Not very good for maintaining a state of happiness. 🙂

I got myself into quite a tizzy until a dear friend of mine faced me with – So what if it is just Good Enough instead of Perfect?

That stopped me in my tracks. I don’t do Just Good Enough!

Yes, but you want to be in a state of happiness, don’t you? And right now you are definitely not happy.

So, dear friends, I had to learn some more about Allowing and Letting go attachment to the outcome. This has been very hard for me and I have a lot more work to do! However, I got to the place where I decided to relax and let go the idea of trying to have the perfect website. I decided to just go with what I had. No video.

Immediately, I felt such a feeling of relief; a lightness; a huge burden lifted. I almost couldn’t believe it.

That felt so good that I decided to go even further and open myself to the idea that instead of trying to figure out what would be perfect for the people I am trying to connect with – what about if I let those people help me co-create the programme by telling me what they wanted!

Now letting go control like that is truthfully scary for a Charismatic Leader – and yes, I have a double whammy – equal scores as Knowledgeable Achiever and Charismatic Leader!  I had to pull out all the tricks in my toolbox to relax and let go. I will tell you in another post about some of those tricks. But what I will tell you now, is that I feel so much calmer and easier and yes, much happier, since I decided to let go of being perfect (most of the time – LOL).

So I do hope that you enjoy the website and that you will agree to join me in crafting something that will truly serve you. Tell me what you need and want; write me about what your challenges to happiness are and let us hold hands and go on an adventure to find lasting happiness!

Blessings!
