Stop Forcing It, Let It Flow
Here's a pattern I've noticed: when I force things, it costs me more than it gives me. When I'm invited, things flow.
This concept used to feel off-putting because I thought it meant I had to wait around, and that felt unproductive and even lazy.
Part of the distinction that shifted that mindset for me was this: there's a difference between pushing something into existence out of sheer will versus responding to a pull from the market, an ask from a trusted relationship, or otherwise.
I've seen it time and again. Of my 5 companies, the 3 that are most successful all came from responding to an invitation to create something, versus the ones where I willed them into existence.
Interestingly, when I began to learn about Human Design, this was exactly in my makeup. As I began to run these profiles for clients, I saw how often others had similar wiring that invites them to wait to respond rather than initiate. (For those of you who are familiar, those are the generators and manifesting generators, as well as projectors, like me, who are meant to wait for the invitation). Few are meant to be the initiators (about 9% of the population).
I'm curious: What would shift for you if you leaned into your unique decision-making strategy? (If you want to learn yours, go to ChatGPT or your favorite AI tool, tell it your birth date, birth city, and time of birth, and ask it to tell you about your human design).
I've yet to meet a client who said that when they aligned with their stated decision-making strategy, they didn't feel less friction and see better results.
