Taking Imperfect Action
Embedded in this blog post is a YouTube video that I recorded a while ago on taking imperfect action.
But, guess what I didn’t follow through with publishing it, until today. Today I decided to take the imperfect action to publish the video and to write the dang post.
Any Excuse Will Do
Really any excuse will do, and I had a number of them. But honestly, as I wash my excuses clean. I was scared.
The mean girl came out for me, and Friends she came out strong. She was giving me the whole song and dance about not being good enough, and who really wants to hear what you have to say. And then I remember…
It’s not about me.
It’s really not all about me. When I get myself stuck in that mindset it limits my ability to create an impact. That’s what is on my heart, create an impact on someone. The goal is not to create an impact on everybody it is to create an impact on someONE. The key is one, if I can create an impact on one person with my imperfect action, it will cause a ripple effect.
We all have to do the inner work on our own before we can actually shine.
Everything that I talk about in this video is 100% true. Do I wish I would have taken imperfect action at the time and just published the dang thing? Possibly, but something inside me wasn’t just ready for the bold step of taking imperfect action.
But today was the day the Lord said it’s time Michele for you to take imperfect action every single day. It’s not about you.
Does this happen to you?
Does this happen to you? Do you feel truly inspired to do the thing? Then, it happens the excuse begins to fly in faster than a jet airplane and you stop. You second guess yourself.
Here is the Imperfect Action Video, Friends it’s under 5 minutes long.
