Put it Down, Let it Go

⏰ Mindset Minute

{December 27, 2022}

There’s a story of a man hiking in the woods who came across a large, roaring river on his trail. There was no way for him to cross it on his own so he built a raft and traveled safely to the other side.

Since the raft had served him so well— and ultimately saved his life— he kept it with him and continued his journey with the raft on his back.

As he progressed on the trail, the raft started to get heavier and heavier, often getting caught on trees, branches and foliage.

Very quickly, the thing that helped him move forward in one part of the journey became the thing that slowed him down and held him back.

Before we head into 2023, take some time to reflect on what thoughts, beliefs and identities served you up till this point but are holding you back from your future greatness.

It’s time to put those things down.

(Note: You may need to put it down more than once.)

The new year is your opportunity to reshape and redefine who you want to be and how you want to show up in the world!
