By most standards, I am a meathead.
I like to lift weights, push my body, and get stronger.
I like to shave my head and brandish my latest tattoos.
I love structure and strategy. I thrive under the rigidity of ownership and accountability.
I love growing, earning, and producing while deeply impacting people’s lives in powerful and unforgettable ways.
But I also embrace the feminine energy of my life.
Amidst all of the structured hard work, I remember to surrender.
I relinquish this need for absolute control and replace it with an effortless embrace of source energy and the flow it lovingly pours through me.
I honor my inner creator. I write poetry. I extend compassion, love and understanding to those I share my world with.
When I dropped this need to be perceived as traditionally masculine…
When I abandoned the endless pursuit of the generic indicators of physical success (yes I’m talking to you people who overcompensate your lack of self-generated validation with pictures of your shiny watches, rented mansions and sports cars….)
Everything in my life opened up, and opportunity, growth and authentic success poured in like never before.
So stop clinging to life at one end of the energetic spectrum.
Add some balance into your life.
Whether you are a man or woman, embrace your inner meathead AND the inner feminine.
Get out of your own way and finally start to take advantage of the TWO types of energies that have been bestowed upon you by this universe that lovingly and meticulously created you to embrace BOTH sides of who you are.
Lift weights. Get tats. Write poetry. Work your ass off. Surrender to flow.
Relentlessly pursue what you want while trusting fully you are already loved and complete.
Oh, and if you agree with this, SHARE the da*n thing.
Spread the love.
