Message from Quasimodo
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 05/20/24
Happy Monday!
The most recent four episodes of my podcast, Leadership Magic, have centered on topics of beliefs, behaviors and tendencies that might get in the way of being who we want to be and doing what we want to do. The episodes have been about people-pleasing, perfectionism and the fear of success.
And I’ll tell ya – talking so much about this has really cast a light on my own self-imposed barriers.
Rather than get all “I’m going to craft a major plan to bust through it all!” (my usual use-planning-as-a-distraction shtick) – I’m going to use the quote from Quasimodo from Disney’s animated feature, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” as fuel:
Here’s the thing about going below the surface with self-awareness – you tend to undercover what is at the very root that is causing the stuckness, the lack of progress and the curse of the comfortable.
This can bring about all kinds of emotions and reasons to look the other way. It can seem like a big hill to climb and make you wonder if it’s worth the energy.
But it really doesn’t have to be that heavy.
It just starts with one decision and one step. After the one step – it’s one more decision and one more step (and so on and so on and so on…).
No project plan or spreadsheet required.
Just today and a willingness to try.
Here I go. You with me?
Think of an area where you’ve been stuck. What is one small decision you can make and action you can take today? First, identify. And then try!
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
