Control
Being able to let go of something, in part, comes from being able to let go of Control. It’s accepting that there are some things that you just can’t control, no matter how much you want or try to.
To me, the idea of not being in control of something, of my destiny, is absolutely terrifying.
The Healing Stage
For me, healing is about noticing the patterns that have been in place since I was very young and reconciling how I was supposed to act with how I truly felt, in a way that allows me to move forward without projecting my unconscious biases onto others. It’s about finding confidence in myself and learning to trust myself to make the decisions that are right for me.
What is FIRE?
For a long time, I had seen life as a game and I was Player One. All of my choices and actions would build experience in specific skill trees that “leveled” me up so that I could complete objectives and “quests,” ultimately unlocking new levels and better adventures. But, like in any game, player one always needs to remember:
What is the main storyline, or what is the primary quest of this life?
If not now, then when?
If not now, then when?
Tell yourself that every day, like a Mantra you whisper in your mind whenever you ask yourself if you should suppress the superhero you see and know yourself to be in your mind. And make no mistake you are one.
It’s all the small actions you take every day to lift yourself out of your hardships, to breathe life into the reality you’ve created for yourself, to bring moments of joy to the people who cross your path. To create, to make, to live, to exude greatness in all moments of your life, both big and small.
Love or Just in Love With it?
Ask yourself whether what you’re looking for is a grand experience or someone to pass the time. Is it out of longing or out of confidence? Are you confident in who you are or aren’t you? These aren’t hard to answer, but it’s bloody difficult to get to the answer you need.
It’s the difference between Love and Ego.
It’s the difference between being Alone and being Lonely.
You need to embrace rejection, seriously. (Updated)
Every time I have made the decision to move forward, in success or failure, I have learned and experienced more joy than I could have ever dreamed of than if I had made the choice to make no choice at all.
And so my observation is this. Embrace rejection. Embrace it.
You’re Alone, and that’s okay (updated)
Ultimately, you are the pioneer of your life.
You are the protagonist of your adventure.
Take the time to find out who you are and what you love. Learn about your flaws and for all the ones you might have, learn to love each of them.
They are you.
