“Everything Is Figureoutable” [a book by Marie Forleo]

Greetings all! 

I recently finished a great book by Marie Forleo “Everything Is Figureoutable” – loved it and highly recommend!

Marie outlines 3 rules:

1. You have what it takes to figure anything out – how inspiring and empowering is that! Everything is figureoutable - whether a problem or a dream.
2. If a problem is NOT figureoutable, it is not really a problem. For example, death is a fact of life, and gravity is a law of nature.
3. Some problems you will not care about – and that is ok. WOW – not everything needs to be solved or figured out!

Here are some ideas that were really thought-provoking for me:   

• It is all about tangible actions. You can spend a lot of time on planning and research but a real action, however small, is what creates momentum and progress. Extensive planning is another way to procrastinate. Been there, done that!
• Embrace progress, not perfection! I am a big believer that sometimes good – not perfect - is enough. If we strive for perfection, things probably will not even get done. That being said, you can still hold yourself to high standards - they are not the same as perfectionism.
• Failure is just an event. A person cannot be a failure.
• Be honest about your own choices and own them. “I can’t” (victim mentality) might actually mean “I won’t” (you are in charge).  
• Be clear and specific about what you want. Write it down. And I love this one - “Someday is not a day of the week!”
• What if our emotions are just energy vibrating at different frequencies?
• Nothing has meaning besides the meaning we give it.
• And I would like to leave you with this thought, “Beliefs are the hidden scripts that run our lives… Who would you be without this limiting belief?”
