Now, Not How

So many people have creative dreams.

They fantasize about writing a book, building a business, or living a life of greater purpose.

They want to live fully and actualize their potential.

They don’t want a “what if” life.

What sets apart the people who live their dreams vs. those who just dream?

Three words: Now, Not How

In 2015, I experienced a profound awakening through meditation.

Because of what meditation did for me, I was called to share it with others.

Here’s what I didn’t do…

I didn’t ask:

  • How am I going to make it happen?

  • How will I succeed?

  • How will I know I’m ready?

Instead, I just started.

I asked friends if they wanted to meditate with me. I guided them, and they would tell me how it was.

I took notes, asked more friends, and tried again.

I started a group on the meetup app where people came to sit with me.

I recorded myself. I listened, I practiced, and I got better.

I learned through experience.

Taking action on teaching meditation built massive momentum.

It’s how I uploaded meditations to Insight Timer in 2016. (Before I had any formal teacher training.)

I owe my success to the principle of Now, Not How.

(Hat tip to Noah Kagan for putting this concept into words.)

To you, my Soul friend:

-What are your dreams?
-Where are you paralyzed by how?
-Where can you take action now?

Go make it happen, and know that I am rooting for you!

Ways you can go deeper when you're ready:

I run a Mastermind group for meditation coaches, creators, healers, and spiritual guides. The intention is to help you make an impact and income through your Soul's work. It's one of the best things I've brought into the world.

We're a month into our second cohort. Doors open back up in April. If you're looking for a community of heartfelt leaders doing work they love, let me know.
