“ The Escaping Mediocrity Manifesto ~ I believe we are all called to something bold and amazing. ~ I believe we each hold within us a vast reservoir of courage. ~ I believe in doing something every day that scares the shit out of me. ~ I believe in burning my ships and declaring myself all in. ~ I believe that the place of effortlessness is where all my power lies waiting for me. ~ I believe that effortlessness doesn’t mean I stop working my butt off. ~ I believe that it’s all about relationships. ~ I believe that it’s all about choices. ~ I believe in getting paid well for what I do. ~ I believe I have no greater duty to myself and to others than telling the truth. ~ I believe that once I’ve lost the will and desire to keep my word, I’ve lost everything. ~ I believe that, however necessary it may be, failing still sucks. ~ I believe in making a ruckus. ~ I believe there are those who are waiting to hear what only my unique voice can say. ~ I believe true kindness is grossly underrated and undervalued. ~ I believe generosity and gratitude will always trump arrogance, fear and scarcity as marketing strategies. ~ I believe the words “I’m sorry” are the most healing words in the English language. ~ I believe living is meant to be a daily adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns and moments that take my breathe away. ~ I believe my greatest market advantage is cultivating a beginner’s mind. ~ I believe in supporting those who support me. They are, after all, the reason I get to do what I do for a living. ~ I believe we are all awash in creative energy. ~ I believe we all yearn to be seen and heard and acknowledged by others. ~ I believe we all long for meaningful human connection. ~ I believe in questioning everything. ~ I believe levity will save us all. ~ I believe in naps. ~ I believe in raising my children to be something other than sheep. ~ I believe making a cake can soothe my troubled soul. ~ I believe in sinking into deep, heart-felt contentment. ~ I believe that trusting my instincts will never lead me astray. ~ I believe in living in the solution. ~ I believe the big “thing” I know I am meant to do in this world is worthy of execution. ~ I believe I must declare, out loud, which side I’m on. ~ I believe I am enough.
