Episode No. 88 Why It’s Good To Be Bad
“You are allowed to do things simply because you like to do them. The things that bring you joy don’t have to be monetized. It doesn’t have to be good. It doesn’t have to be shared on Instagram. Somethings in life are there just for you to enjoy.”
-Excerpt from this episode
Have you stumbled upon something that's kinda piqued your interest lately? Maybe you've been flirting around with the idea of learning a new language or taking a sexy Zoom dance class. But you stopped yourself from taking the plunge because you thought; "Nah, I probably won't be good at it." You see us #GoalGetters don't play that “I’m not really all that great at that” game.
But what if I told you that there is incredible freedom in being bad and you’re missing out on it? No seriously hear me out. Have you been at a party and your auntie with no rhythm is in the corner dancing her heart away? She doesn’t care who’s judging her, if she's on beat or if she knows the latest Tik Tok Dance. She's in bliss baby even though she's bad to the bone. And when you look around everyone is starting to circle around her shouting; "Go head! Go, Auntie! Go Head! Go, Auntie!" Because no matter how bad Auntie is at twerking she's in her zone having so much fun and full peace!
In today's episode, i'm challenging you to do something that's completely counter-intuitive to the #GoalGetter movement-- I'm asking you to allow yourself to be good at being bad. Because just like auntie you deserve to do things that are fun and give you joy, whether you're good at it or not.
