Yes, I have said in the past to stop trying so hard and release the brake. That doesn't mean you stop putting in effort.
Stop Judgment
“Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.” - #Wayne Dyer
Stop judgment of yourself.
Stop judgment of others.
You might be judging yourself on the amount of effort it takes to succeed. Thinking #success should come with out effort and it should be easy.
Judging the people around you and the success they have. Maybe you think that they are capable of something more. Or maybe you're judging their success as coming easy, when you don't really know the effort it took them.
To let you know, not all #French Bulldogs can roll over.
Effort is not a bad thing
We all have a learning curve. There are always obstacles, challenges and roadblocks. That doesn't mean you can't get to where you want to go.
Maybe it won't be pretty. Pearl's rolling over is not the most graceful thing in the world. She gets it done though. She puts in the effort.
