1200: Make your best guess
Today I'm sharing a reminder that I very much need to hear - that your best guess is good enough, and you can move ahead without 100% certainty.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Monday to you. So before we get started this week, I wanted to share a really fun announcement with you, and that is to let you know that I have opened my very first pop up shop. For the last couple of years, I've been doing the rebel riser's calendars, which have just been so much fun. And this year, I have added to the range with not only the calendar but some postcards, some bookmarks, and a weekly desk planner. So if you're like me and you fucking love stationery and you also fucking love a bit of rebel rousing, I think you're gonna love it. The store is open for preorders until 5th November, and you can go check all the fun shit out by going to therebelrousers.com/popup, all one word, or just click the handy link in the show notes. So I thought it would be helpful at the start of the week to pop in with a reminder that I know is definitely helping me right now. And it's the fact that you don't have to be a 100% certain to move ahead.
Around here, we tend to be overachievers, perfectionists, and we're also really conscientious. And we might have been brought up with the notion that everything has to be just right before we take a step forward, but I am calling absolute bullshit on that. The truth is, no matter how much research we do, we're probably never gonna be literally 100% sure. And sometimes the more research we do, the more we find out we don't know which on one hand can be a good thing, but we tend to just go into research mode harder. The best thing we can do is check-in with ourselves and see what feels right. We can do the research, but not until the point that we are completely overwhelmed, and we can make our best guess. The fact of the matter is, yeah, when we look back, there are some decisions we might have made differently. But it's really easy to see that because we know hindsight is 2020.
So if you are feeling muddled over something, if you are feeling stuck in the mud, or if you're waiting for a 100% certainty, let this be your permission to just make your best guess and know that that is good enough. And also, there are very few things in life we can't undo if we want to. So happy Monday. I hope this week brings you some fabulous unexpected joy. And remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.
