What I figured out this week: pay attention to the signs

The last two weeks have been hard for me.

Not in a dramatic way.

Not in a life falling apart way.

But in a way where I can tell I’m not pouring into the things I know I’m supposed to be doing.

I haven’t been consistent with my content.

I haven’t been studying the way I should.

I haven’t been creating the way I know I need to.

And when I get like that, I start feeling stuck.

But this week I realized something.

When you’re not doing what you know you’re supposed to be doing…

You start seeing signs everywhere.

And I mean everywhere.

The signs keep showing up

I used to follow Erin On Demand years ago, and I still do.

A new blog post just popped up in my email from her

Her page is called Simply Put with Erin On Demand.

I don’t even use Substack like that.

I don’t really go on it.

I don’t really follow it.

So when I saw that, it hit me.

Maybe that’s a sign.

Maybe I need to put my blog on Substack.

Maybe I need to take my writing more seriously.

Maybe I need to stop playing with my content and actually build something.

Then I read one of her posts called

“What I Mean When I Say I Want to Be Really, Really Wealthy.”

And it spoke to me.

Not just about money.

About lifestyle.

About wanting it all.

Health.

Family.

Work.

Freedom.

Experiences.

Peace.

Growth.

I realized I want that too.

And not in a greedy way.

In a way, I know I’m capable of more, but I keep holding myself in the same place.

another sign I couldn’t ignore

Then a podcast came up on my YouTube.

Not even on my normal list.

It was Mel Robbins with Seth Godin.

The episode was called:

It Only Takes Six Months — How to Build a Life That Matters

And it hit me hard.

I keep listening to the video.

He talked about how we say we want more, but we keep staying comfortable.

We stay busy.

We scroll.

We make excuses.

We say:

“I’ll do it when things slow down.”

“I’ll start when I have time.”

“I’ll do it when life isn’t so crazy.”

But life will always be busy.

And the truth is…

Sometimes we don’t start because being comfortable feels safer.

Even if we’re not happy.

I had to look at myself and say yes, that is me

I can’t lie to myself anymore

I had to be honest with myself

I realized this week that I’ve been okay with being comfortable.

Not fully happy.

Not fully growing.

Not fully built.

Just… comfortable.

Going to work.

Doing what I have to do.

Talking about what I want to do.

Planning what I want to do.

But not doing it.

Not studying the way I should.

Not creating the way I should.

Not building the way I know I can.

And that’s hard to admit.

Because I know I want more.

More freedom.

More experiences.

More opportunities for my daughter.

More control over my time.

More control over my life.

So if I want more…

I have to start acting like it.

fix it and do it again

One thing Seth Godin said that stuck with me was simple.

If it doesn’t work…

Fix it.

Do it again.

Fix it.

Do it again.

Fix it.

Do it again.

Stop waiting for perfect.

Stop waiting for the right time.

Stop waiting to feel ready.

Just start.

Write the book.

Post the video.

Build the blog.

Study for the test.

Create the product.

And if it’s not good…

Do it again.

Pay attention to the signs.

If I push Sariah why can’t I push myself?

I know some people will say it’s just the algorithm.

Maybe it is.

But I also believe that when something keeps showing up in front of you…

It’s not random.

It’s a reminder.

A reminder of what you said you wanted.

A reminder of who you said you were going to become.

A reminder of the life you said you were going to build.

And lately, the signs keep showing me the same thing.

Start.

Stop making excuses.

Stop staying comfortable.

Do the thing.

If you’re feeling this too

If you keep saying you want to change your life…

If you keep saying you want more…

If you keep saying you’re going to start…

Start paying attention to the signs.

They’re probably already showing up.

And maybe, like me, you need to stop ignoring them.

Still trying to figure it all out…

Now with a plus one.
