I don\u2019t want to feel like I am always racing to keep up. But sometimes I do.<\/p>\n

The emails that my heart wants to write, the article ideas lost in my head or in a book.<\/em><\/p>\n

I know the answer is that it will all get done. That I need to tackle each as it comes and not fret about all that isn\u2019t done.<\/p>\n

But I wonder if it isn\u2019t an innerpreneur’s natural inclination to see what isn\u2019t created, rather than what is<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Growth is slow<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve spent the last week engrossed in my pricing and service platform<\/strong>. I\u2019m trying to figure out how to authentically describe what I do. I\u2019ve added my work-in-progress expertise to the blog. Hopefully it connects.<\/p>\n

Rather than pat myself on the back for completing an integral part<\/strong> of my business, I sit and fret over everything that isn\u2019t done.<\/p>\n

The Elastic Mind website I wrote that I can\u2019t seem to finish, the innerpreneur blog that I want to improve for us.<\/em><\/p>\n

The list doesn\u2019t end and it never will<\/h3>\n

I need to find a way to be okay with this \u2013 to not be disappointed by everything I haven\u2019t done<\/strong>. I know this feeling but I thought I had let it go.<\/p>\n

It is enough that I am on this path. And working every day to grow it.<\/p>\n

But then doubt strikes me and I wonder if I shouldn\u2019t be working harder, longer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I choose to do this because I want a balanced, bliss-filled life but I wonder if that isn\u2019t possible. The surge of responsibilities that come with running a business make it hard to ever feel at rest<\/strong>. I need to stop worrying that I am disappointing people.<\/p>\n

No one cares as much as I do<\/h3>\n

I am not letting anyone down. It matters more to me.<\/p>\n

I am not letting myself down. I am achieving my dreams. How can I be disappointed by that?<\/p>\n
