Stop Trying to Put Your Best Foot Forward
Stop trying to put your best foot forwardâjust put your foot forward. Thatâs success.
Putting your best foot forward means others will be impressed. But where does that lead? Ultimately, it puts you into competition.
When being impressive equals success, you choose this narrative for your life: âIn order to be safe, I need to be better than others... better than I am.â
This narrative doesnât help you, it hurts you. It also hurts others.
When âI need to be betterâ is what you say to yourself, you lead others to say the same to themselves.
âI need to be betterâ is not what we need to hear right now.
When this is the narrative, everyone loses.
âI need to be better.â
Just put your foot forward. Not your âbestâ foot. Not someone elseâs foot. Your foot.
If this is success, you canât lose.
Youâre free. To be where you areâever changing, always growing, sometimes high and sometimes low. It doesnât matterâwhatever foot is yours, you put that forward.
You offer yourself as you are, nothing more and nothing less.
Let this be your definition of success.
This is sustainable.
Every step you take in this way gives you energy. It means that youâre always enough. And so is everyone else.
Think how this can change your life, and our world.
No competition. No judgement. Everyone wins.
This is the kind of world I want to live inâthe kind of world I want my kids to grow up in.
It starts right now, with your very next step...
You donât need to be impressive. Youâre already safe, already loved.
Just put your foot forward. Nothing more, nothing less. Thatâs success.
