I almost didn’t sow these zinnia seeds.

I thought for sure I had missed the window and there was no way they’d bloom before frost ultimately set in and destroyed them.
I’m so glad I just got them in the ground. The payoff has been incredible-so much color and beauty I almost kept from growing and sharing with the world.

We do that a lot don’t we? Cease to act because we hope to delay failure…or avoid it altogether.

In his book Atomic Habits, author James Clear says “Most of us are experts at avoiding criticism. It doesn’t feel good to fail or to be judged publicly, so we tend to avoid situations where that might happen. …you want to delay failure.”

I’m slowly challenging myself to make the choice that includes the possibility of failure, with the hope that the payoff will outweigh the rejection I might face along the way.

What seeds are you holding back? What’s that one thing you’ve always wanted to try, but you continuously talk yourself out of with lies that sound like “I missed the boat,” “I’m too old(or young),” “I might not be good at it,” “Everyone will know if I fail,” “I’ll finally pursue that dream when…”.

Don’t put off getting it in the ground, taking action, and just doing the thing. Expect rejection, setbacks, and failure-these are not the marks of an unfit go-getter, but quite the opposite-they work hand in hand with wins, achievement, success. If no one’s ever told you that failure and growth are a packaged deal, here is your moment. You cannot have one without the other.

You’ve been given time and you get to choose how you will use it: will you continue to delay failure, setting that packet of seeds back on the shelf to wait another year or will you take action now and choose to bring color and beauty into your corner of the world?

Well, alongside growing MANIFOLD with Steven, I've been busy working on something new over the past few months!
I am thrilled to finally be able to tell the Instagram world that I've taken the leap into Real Estate! I’m officially a REALTOR® with 👏🏼 👏🏼
I'd knocked the idea around in my head for years, and with the start of our home renovation business a little over a year ago, this step to helping my neighbors and community with the home buying/selling process just made sense.
I can't wait to see where this road takes us, and more importantly, what we get to experience along the way.
Thanks for being such a supportive group-you've never ceased to champion us throughout the many changes and seasons of our life. We hope we have been and will continue to be the same for you!
Now between finding, selling, or remodeling a home, Steven and I have pretty much got you covered!

He’s gonna hate this(and that’s why we’re creating a post that’ll last forever 😝)but like it or not, we’re taking Tyler’s birthday as an opportunity to tell the world how grateful we are to him!
He works hard but keeps things light. He daily encourages Steven and makes the process of living out Manifold’s mission better. If you see him today give him a hard time…followed up quickly with a genuine word on what a great friend he is!
