What I'm Giving Up for 40 Days

2/22/2023

 
Here in south Louisiana we're coming off of a huge cultural high--Mardi Gras. Whether you're religious or not, everyone gets involved in this celebration in some way, from eating king cake to attending the Super Krewe parades of New Orleans, enjoying live music or even running in a Courir de Mardi Gras in Cajun Country.

The day AFTER Mardi Gras is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. This is traditionally a day when the all excess stops and we reflect/cut back/give up something for 40 days to remind us where we came from/where we'll all return one day (dust).

This year I'm going nontraditional, and I invite you to join me. For the next 40 days, I'm giving up ARGUING FOR MY LIMITATIONS.

That's right.

I do it.

You do it.

We all do it.

And as a result, we don’t live up to our full potential.

If the cigar box below had argued for its limitations, it never could have:
  • become a guitar
  • made cool music
  • ended up in a jazz history museum where people see it and learn something from it every day.

What is arguing for YOUR limitations costing YOU?

I challenge you to challenge yourself for the next 40 days. Every time you notice yourself arguing for your LIMITATIONS, pause and reframe your thoughts to start arguing for POSSIBILITIES, no matter how small.

After 40 days, let's see where we end up!​

With gratitude,
​
