The day I created #ThePostcardProject, I felt excited and hopeful. Energized, I got to work bringing what felt like an inspired idea to life.
The day I decided to launch #ThePostcardProject, I started to feel silly and uncertain, anxious and afraid, self-conscious and small.
What if nobody thought it was a good idea?
What if no one else got on board, and I was the only one to actually do it?
What if #ThePostcardProject never got any traction? Never went anywhere? Never got noticed?
The more I marinated in those familiar feelings that show up whenever it’s time to actually put something I’ve created into the world, the more stymied I became. It was just about then that God leaned in close and whispered, “That’s none of your business Molly.” In other words, all I had to do was get about my business.
Byron Katie reminds us that there are only three kinds of business in the world—my business, your business, and God’s business. Bringing an idea to life and sharing it with the world is my business. What anyone else does with that idea is their business. And where it goes from here, is God’s business.
We never know what will happen when we offer something to the world. That’s none our business. Offering what we have to share is.
Do you have an idea waiting to come to life?
Then please, get about your business.
