Over the last month as I've been preparing for the European Beyond Limits Business Summit, I have had some ups and downs. And at times it's felt hard. The kind of hard that makes you wonder if you should just stop. The kind of hard that makes you wonder, “Maybe I have this all wrong.” or “Maybe I don't have what it takes.”

Over the last month or so, I've been exploring this question…”Is anything else required, other than showing up, as we are, in any given moment? Is extra required? Extra edge. Extra personality. Do I need to be “on”? 

Imagine you are standing at the back of the sailboat and blowing to get the boat to move. You keep blowing harder and harder, yet nothing really seems to happen. The boat rocks a bit, you move but you don't really get anywhere. At the end of the day you are tired, exhausted and not seeing progress. Everything just feels hard.

This week I'm sharing something more personal. I can't help but share because I have been deeply touched by the unconditional, loving support of others. I have been moved by the amazing ways that people have shown up, given of themselves so generously and mirrored back to me what is possible.
