The right place

The right place

If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area.

Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in.

Go a little out of your depth.

And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

— David Bowie

Notice, Mr. Bowie is not saying, “try to do something exciting.”

He’s just saying, “go a little out of your depth.”

Because the creativity you’re after is a natural byproduct of leaving your comfort zone.

Going out of your depth doesn’t mean you have to do something out of character. It could mean you become even more authentically you—without apology. It could be expressing your truth. It could be no more hiding or pretending. If you want help with becoming more authentic, consider joining my Radical Authenticity Masterclass. You’ll get a structured approach to becoming your most authentic self, plus basic meditation instructions, plus community, accountability, and live weekly meditations with yours truly.
