When we rush to do something, we can waste a lot of energy forcing action when we are not ready.
When we hurry, we aren’t giving our self the space to let our answers come, or allowing our self the time to understand our choices.
If it really is that important, can we really afford to hurry it?

I wonder why I don’t just…
shut up and stop worrying?
I know everything will work out, I know I am on My Path. I can feel it, I can feel Him.

Ever feel like you’re walking a tightrope? That’s because you are. We all are.
All complex adaptive systems (that’s you!) walk a tightrope between too much structure and too little.
Too much structure…
and chaos! Organic systems become rigid and unresponsive to their environment and they eventually die.
To little structure…
and chaos! Organic systems become overly sensitive to environmental disturbances. They can’t maintain their organization and eventually disintegrate.
Living at the edge of chaos
This is where life and creativity exist. They can’t be limited by too much structure or failed to let unfold in the moment through too much planning.
It’s a process of listening to, and trusting in, the ideas within us; then revealing those ideas through our action.
Your business is no different
Contrary to traditional belief and our anxious minds, too much structure is not of benefit to your business. Nor is following someone else’s idea of structure. What is of benefit is listening to yourself, and paying attention to your environment.
What unfolds for your business will not be preordained by ‘vision’ or ‘strategy’, but by the choices you make and their long-term consequences. The future is yours to create in this present moment.
Stay present to what is evolving and stay aligned with your intention.
Walk the tightrope of chaos by making choices based upon the life and world you want to be.

It’s taken me 28 years to develop a very small understanding of my purpose in this life. Turns out it’s not an easy task to discover how you can best add value to the world and, in turn, how you can best receive it back.
My ideas for my life, and my career, keep on changing, and I’m gonna make sure they always do.
Where you start won’t be where you end up.
Your business purpose is going to change. That’s okay. Let it.
How you help best and who you help best isn’t fixed. What fits today might not always.
I’m learning that as your Innerpreneurial journey unfolds, so does your vision for it. It makes sense that just like life and all existence, our values, our gifts, our careers, are all part of a spiral, ever expanding and evolving.
What we think is our truth one day, isn’t another.
Let your business vision change.
Don’t fight it. Don’t punish yourself for it. You didn’t get things wrong. You’ve only changing your ever expanding mind.
