“I don’t know how to do this.”
That sentence can feel like a roadblock.
But add one small word and something shifts:
“I don’t know how to do this… yet.” ✨
Marie Forleo’s idea in Everything is Figureoutable is powerful because it is not about pretending things are easy.
It is about giving your brain a better instruction.
Not:
“I can’t.”
“I am not ready.”
“I do not know enough.”
But:
“I am learning.”
“I can take one step.”
“I have not found the way yet.”
“This is still figureoutable.” 🔄
That matters because your brain is always listening.
It listens to whether you speak as if the story is finished — or still unfolding.
When you are changing direction, returning to study, stepping into leadership, or rebuilding confidence, unfamiliar can start to feel like impossible.
But unfamiliar does not mean impossible.
It may simply mean:
not yet. 🌱
This photo reminded me of that.
You do not always see the whole road.
Sometimes you just take the next bend. 🛣️
🔹 Your tiny Move for today
Take 60 seconds.
Write down one sentence that has been sitting heavily in your mind.
Then add:
“…yet.”
“I don’t know how to __________ yet.”
Read it back slowly.
Notice what changes.
