Action vs Perfection

April holds a special place in my heart as it marks not only the beginning of spring but also my birthday.

A favourite quote by Paulo Coelho: "One day or day one. You decide" is not just a call to action, but a mantra for life, reminding us that the commencement of something new, something audacious, is always in our hands.

Carrying through the essence of last month's newsletter theme of Happiness , I’m using Jay Shetty’s three ingredients of being happy: “Learn something new, Launch something new, and Love what you do!” Whether it’s at the beginning of the year, your birthday, or any day you choose, it’s always the perfect moment to embrace change and launch something new.

In the spirit of new beginnings, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new YouTube channel, which features my Live Audacious Conversations project launched in February, a collection of insights and bricks of wisdom from people who inspire me. Subscribe today HERE and dive into the eight empowering conversations, recorded so far. Your support can help spread audacity far and wide.

Action vs Perfection is a big mantra for us at ADAPTAA . The upcoming audacious ventures planned for the next few months include:

1. Audacious Leaders Retreat - May 25th: Our journey continues as we gear up for our 4th edition of this transformative experience in the mystical lands of Transylvania.

In her enlightening latest “Enough – The Podcast” Episode 72 , my dear friend Dr. Mandy Lehto had an amazing conversation with England rugby player, Callum Wilson. During the episode, Callum discussed the pivotal choice we all have in our daily lives: to act from a "less than" mindset or a "feeling enough" mindset.

What really resonated with me was his reminder that when we feel loved, at peace, or in joy, we naturally express it. His poignant message, "Expression is action, and action changes everything",? urges us to embrace risk-taking, boldly ask for what we want, and to launch into new ventures with enthusiasm and courage.

Inspired by Callum’s invigorating advice, I want to extend a challenge to you all. Let’s take a moment to express gratitude towards someone who has offered us support or help over the past year. Whether it’s through a heartfelt note or a sincere phone call, showing gratitude not only brightens the recipient's day but also enriches our own sense of well-being.

As Mary Shelley so aptly put it, "The beginning is always today".

Let's make today the day we take courageous action. It’s time to express gratitude, to take those risks, and to ask for what we want. Let’s make today the beginning of something new and wonderful in our lives.

Be audacious. Be transformative. Be you.
