Excellence… a Prison or a Prism?⠀

The prison of excellence, feeling trapped in the incredibly high standard we expect ourselves to deliver on every time, is an invisible shield keeping us from moving the needle in our businesses.⠀
We moan about it, we pay to get support on breaking out of that, and then we revel in the innocence of it all.⠀
"I'm so talented I can't choose which gift to utilize in the world first."⠀
"I am brilliant here on my own alone."⠀
"Oh yaaah, I am stuck in the prison of excellence, and I simply can't break free. Maybe I need a new haircut. A new logo. A Website! House! Dog!"⠀
⠀
The goalposts must keep moving. But you don't.⠀
And boom, you are stuck in your "prison of excellence."⠀
Some call this self-sabotage or 'the curse of talent' or 'procrastination.'⠀
It's all the same!⠀
The root cause is unkindness.⠀
The symptoms are feeling stuck.⠀
The result is playing small or just not doing what you said you would.⠀
⠀
Let's cut the crap.⠀
⠀
We've all been in it. It sucks as unreal as it is, as real as it can feel.⠀
⠀
But excellence is not in charge here. You are.⠀
Excellence is not a prison - it's a prism.⠀
⠀
Hold the idea of excellence up to your eyes like the crystals that have rainbows come out the other end when the sun shines on them.⠀
⠀
Excellence breaks down your white light of amazingness to the different colour aspects.⠀
⠀
The Prism of Excellence is your new tool to mine more gold from your own genius.⠀
Hold it up like a kaleidoscope. Enjoy looking through it. Go make something and then look through your prism with love and playfulness.⠀
