a Rocket or a Catherine Wheel?
Are you currently more like a Rocket or a Catherine Wheel?
You know that feeling when you're working flat out, absolutely relentless, and yet somehow going nowhere? Like a Catherine Wheel...
All your energy, all your commitment, all those projects and priorities - they're all pushing you in different directions at once.
Lots of sparks. Lots of spinning. But is there actually forward motion?
And the moment one thing tips you off balance? You fly off the shed and crash land in a heap. 🤗
Now think about a Rocket firework. Same commitment. Same energy (maybe actually less). But all focused in ONE direction.
The rocket doesn't work harder – it works aligned. And it goes incomparably further.
⭐️ What might happen if you could stop spinning and push everything in the same direction?
It's not easy - people and projects rely on you. But the goal is worth it!
One practical tip to get you there:
List everything you're trying to do right now. Everything.
ask yourself: "If I could only move ONE of these forward this month, which one would actually change things?"
That's your rocket direction. And the rest? They're the friction keeping you spinning. You can only become the Rocket by accepting you can't also be the Catherine Wheel.
What's the first firework that you could re-direct towards moving to your goal?
