The promise of shortcuts

If you missed my email on setting your own timing and expectations, find it here.
The promises of shortcuts abound. Fast results can be faster if you apply the “foolproof formula” masterminded by someone else.
The expert is always the one who’s not already in the room, right?
People love a “hack” — any new tip, trick, or trend that promises we skip the line to proceed straight to the front is often prized as the answer to all of our woes.

Ok, ok. You get the point.
Subscribing to shortcuts and hoping for the best doesn’t work because it’s rare that applying someone else’s solution and strategy will immediately catapult you to their results.
Even if you mirror someone else’s exact actions — and achieve some of the same results — it’s not sustainable because YOU are not THEM.
Our society consistently perpetuates the false narrative that there’s one answer that works for everyone.
It’s simply not true.
Everything that you are — from your biological make-up to every experience that has shaped you — is part of the way that you perceive, act, and exist in this world.
Think about that for a second, you magical stardust being existing in this moment right now, never to be the same again.
When we pause to notice, it becomes a bit easier to see why everyone else’s shortcuts may not be our own.
The fastest way to get the results we seek is to slow down, assess the big picture, seek our inner knowing, tap into resources that are aligned with us, and framework our OWN plan matched with our values, gifts, talents, knowledge, and abilities.
No one else’s shortcut is your answer.
You are the plan.
