🌱🌳💚 Make these 2 people proud 💚🌳🌱
There are only 2 people in the world that you need to make proud.
It's not your mom & it's not your dad,
It’s not your husband, wife, or partner,
It’s not your kids,
It's the eight-year-old version of you and the 80-year-old version of you!
If those two people are happy with how you lived your life, it means you did everything right!
I invite you to take a few long slow deep breaths, with your eyes closed and detach from the busyness of life.
Visualize yourself walking along a path, hand-in-hand with your 8-year-old self & your 80-year-old self.
Turn to your younger self & forgive them for any mistakes or poor choices that they may have made. Then express your gratitude to that person, for without their courage you would not be here now.
Then turn to your older self who is radiating light like a beacon, guiding you & warning you of imminent danger. The future self that is genuinely happy & loving every aspect of life.
Ask your future self, ‘What must I do today to bring us closer together?
The answer will make sense to you. It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else. This is YOUR journey through life…
This is YOUR Imperfect Action for today!
So...
- Will you do it?
- When?
- What's likely to stand in your way?
This is not actions, plural. The point of this is, it's something that you can complete today.
If you take an 'Imperfect Action' every day, toward something that is meaningful to you. You will accomplish more than you can possibly imagine!
In Gratitude,
Pete
P.S. Your future self has already overcome your current challenge! There is a way through, around or over whatever it is. You just have to take Imperfect Action & the path will illuminate itself.

Radiant Reader, how are you? I feel that AI is running rampant through the coaching space. People can churn out emails, blog posts, even entire webinars & websites in minutes… & for what? So that we can be more ‘productive’, create things bigger, brighter, faster … at what end? People aren't seemingly happier. We are just consuming more! In fact, spending time in nature, away from this nourishes my soul. I have tried a couple of the AI sites & can see the allure. However, to me, it lacks soul...
I was sorting through some of my old possessions recently & found a priceless treasure. It was a letter from my Dad, who passed away 21 years ago today. It was one of very few that he ever wrote. I am sharing this with you for 2 reasons. Firstly, I invite you to receive this encouragement. - Be Yourself – do what you do best! - Believe in yourself &- Don’t sell yourself short Secondly, please take this opportunity, right NOW… write a letter to your spouse, your partner, your child, a friend,...
Reader, I have 4 sentences for you to ponder… Happiness is not the absence of problems it’s the ability to deal with them. You are not stressed because you’re doing too much, You are stressed because you are doing too little of what makes you feel alive. The lesson that you struggle with, will repeat itself until you deal with it. Feeling sad after making a decision doesn't mean it was the wrong decision. If you’re feeling stuck in rut, emotionally empty, exhausted & or disconnected from...
