Are you happy doing what you do? Or do you feel stuck?

Guess what?

You have permission to change.

You have to do things differently than the person who came before you.  If they don’t want you to do things differently, and that bothers you, you have permission to look for something else.  You have permission to follow your passion and make it work.

You have permission to listen to your gut, even if what it says sometimes disagrees with the logical choice.  You have permission to take some risks.

You have permission to fail.  It’s okay.  You will usually learn more from failing.  You have permission to keep trying until you make it work.

You have permission.  Right now.  Good luck.

Sometimes We Need Permission
A long time ago, over coffee, one of my trusted friends and mentors gave me permission.  Maybe it was the expression he saw on my face as I sat across the table, but he somehow knew that I simply need to be given permission.  It made a difference.

Today, I’m giving you permission.

The only real question is, what are you going to do with it?
