The permissions you give yourself determine your well-being.
Here are 5 essential permissions you can start giving yourself to be a happier founder today:
1. Permission to fail
Accept that things won't always go as planned and you’ll feel lost.
But…
Commit to never making the same mistake twice.
2. Permission to be afraid
Accept that you won’t always feel ready and you’ll find certain things very difficult to do.
But…
Commit to do them anyways.
3. Permission to not be perfect
Accept that you'll feel inadequate most of the time.
But…
Commit to not taking yourself too seriously.
4. Permission to be replaceable
Accept that you are not the center of the world or as amazing as you think.
But…
Commit to always trying your best to add value.
5. Permission to not know
Accept that you don’t have nor will ever have all the information or answers.
But…
Commit to never stop learning.
For these permissions to have the power to transform your life, you need to embody and live them, not just understand them.
If you want to allow yourself the opportunity to win on the outside, you have to allow yourself first the opportunity to win on the inside.
Give yourself permission.
“You just need that opening, that moment, when you finally decide to give yourself permission to change.” - Tosca Reno
