218: LESS Preparation, MORE Faith

Published: March 15, 2018, 9 a.m.

With so many projects happening right now, I\u2019ve had to tap into a different part of myself \u2013 a part that requires me to lean into my faith and imperfection. You see for a long time I had a story around the amount of time I needed to create. What I\u2019m finding now is that it was just that \u2013 a story.\n \xa0\n In the past few months, I\u2019ve learned to create (talks, programs etc.) in a much shorter amount of time. And scheduling wise, because I didn\u2019t have a choice, I practiced massive amounts of faith to get it all done!\n \xa0\n \u201cEverything can be done in the amount of time that you have.\u201d\n \xa0\n The truth is that we use the amount of time we have \u2013 no matter how long that time period is. For example, I took the full 30 days to write my TedTalk \u2013 and tweaked right up until the end. I wanted my message to be perfect. But what I\u2019ve found is that my audience doesn\u2019t want to see perfection all the time. And just because I have the time, doesn\u2019t mean I should use it all.\n \xa0\n \u201cWhen you over-prepare, over-perfect and over-tweak, you\u2019re not leaving space for faith or trust.\u201d\n \xa0\n Where in your life are you over-perfecting or over-prepping? Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, you should prepare, but you must leave space for your divine message to come through. Try tapping into what your audience wants to hear. Chances are if you have the fears, they do too. How can you use your experiences to help them overcome them? When you authentically share like this you are inviting yourself and others to up-level and live out your purpose.\n \xa0\n After all, it isn\u2019t about you \u2013 it\u2019s about your audience and the message that you were meant to share. There is so much power in your imperfections \u2013 so let them shine through and have faith that others will relate to them as well.\n \xa0\n \u201cFocus on less perfection and prepping in order for your message to come through.\u201d\n \xa0\n --\n In This Episode We Talk about:\n \xa0\n Upleveling and learning to create in a shorter amount of time\n Why procrastination can be a gift\n The power of imperfection and authenticity to change lives\n \xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n Aligned Course\n Loriharder.com/aligned\n \xa0\n A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder\n Now available for pre-order at loriharder.com/amazon\n \xa0\n Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/\xa0\n \xa0\n Check out my website at loriharder.com.
