I'll Get You
Believing you'll succeed changes how you show up
April 28

You can feel the infectious optimism in every note of this playful B-side to "She Loves You." John and Paul wrote it quickly in 1963, expressing confident romantic pursuit. The song demonstrates how believing in positive outcomes can change your energy completely.
Everyone responds differently to enthusiastic confidence. Some are turned off, some are impressed, and some need a little more convincing. The song admits there's no guarantee but proceeds with hope anyway. This balance between acknowledging risk and maintaining optimism shows emotional intelligence.
Approaching challenges with consistent conviction transforms how others perceive you. Confidence itself becomes attractive, not because it guarantees success but because it signals you believe something worthwhile is possible. The song's upbeat energy mirrors the attitude it expresses: I'm going after what I want with optimism.
Holding onto hope despite uncertainty requires courage. The track celebrates that stubborn hope, the willingness to pursue connection even when the outcome remains uncertain. Sometimes belief precedes evidence, that acting as if you'll succeed often helps create the very success you're imagining.
Today, I will approach one challenging situation with genuine confidence in a positive outcome, letting that belief shape my energy and actions.
What pursuit are you approaching with defeat already assumed? How might believing in success, even without guarantees, change how you show up?
Join April's New Beginnings Lessons
When George Harrison walked out of a contentious business meeting in 1969 and into Eric Clapton's garden, he discovered the strategic power of renewal. The song he wrote that afternoon, "Here Comes the Sun," would become The Beatles' most-streamed track and a masterclass in navigating transitions. Throughout April, we'll explore how their approach to new beginnings, strategic retreats, and turning endings into opportunities provides actionable frameworks for leaders navigating organizational transitions, career pivots, and transforming uncertainty into growth in every area of life.
