Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy Tuesday to you. Today's Daily Pep is a simple and a powerful one. But before we dive into it, I just wanna give you a friendly heads up that the Rebel Rouses pop up store closes today. So if you've been meaning to get your hands on the 2025 calendar, a series of postcards, some bookmarks, or my fabulous weekly review desk planner, then now is the time. And you can get them by going to the therebelrousers.com/popup, which is all one word, or you can click the link in the show notes. Now today's episode. I really wanted to sit down with you today and remind you in case nobody's told you lately that you're pretty fucking amazing.
In the personal development sphere, we tend to get really excited by where we want our life to be and all the things we want to do and all the things we want to be, but rarely do we get the reminder that we are actually okay the way we are. Yes. There might be places you wanna go. Yes. There might be things you wanna be, but you right now are not broken. You are not a problem to be fixed, and you are good enough the way you are. I know for me, I can get really caught up into thinking that, okay, I'll do this thing once I become this idealized version of myself. But actually, I don't think that's very fair because it runs on this logic that we're not good enough to do the thing already.
We just have to work harder, and I know we're all pretty similar around here. Our goalposts always change. We're always moving them, and it can feel like we are always putting off our dreams. So if you feel the same, know that you absolutely are not alone. And you also don't have to be this new fabulous version of yourself to go after your dreams, to make the big scary asks and do the things that you want to do. We all have things about ourselves that we wish we could change or things that we regret or things that we're not that happy with. But I really can't help feeling that putting things off until we're some new improved version of ourselves just really isn't fair. We shouldn't have to put our dreams and our plans and our happiness on a someday, maybe pile.
And we get to give ourselves the good stuff right now. We get to use the really fancy fine china. We get to wear our best dress. And I say this as somebody with no fancy China and no best dress, but you know what I mean. So as you go about today, I invite you to think about what would you do if you knew you were good enough already? See what comes up for you. Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised by either how much compassion comes up for you or how ballsy it sounds, and dare to listen. You are doing so much better than you think you are, and I think you will look back really impressed and inspired by just how much of a brave motherfucker you are even if you don't feel it right now. And what I tend to say is that courage doesn't tend to feel like courage in the moment, so keep that in mind as well.
I'll see you tomorrow and keep asking yourself that question. What would I do right now if I was already enough? I'll see you tomorrow.
