To grow into the greatest, most generous, most courageous, most impactful, most ‘holy sh*t this life is amazing’-est version of yourself.
There is no one like you. There ain’t never gonna be no one like you (can I get an amen!?)
So why are you hiding it?
Why are you lightly treading through this life like your greatness is an imposition?
Why are you settling for a life that doesn’t light you up every time you stop and reflect on your circumstances?
Well since I’m an expert in this sh*t, I’ll go ahead and tell you.
Behind all of the excuses preventing you from activating your inner awesomeness is FEAR.
Deep, DEEP down, under all the reasons and rationalizations, FEAR is the thing keeping all of your potential trapped in a tiny, frustrating ball (which causes a TON of stress and anxiety BTW…but you probably already know this).
As humans, we are wired to avoid change, transformation and the discomforts of uncertainty (sucks, amirite?).
And ironically, in order to claim everything we could ever want, we simply have to start marching in the direction that our overprotective brain is trying like hell to keep us away from.
So we end up with this internal tug-o-war.
Our souls wanting to grow, expand and create new levels of success…
While our brain throws a temper tantrum every time we try to leave our comfort zone.
The result? PAIN.
The pain of settling. The pain of watching life pass us by. The pain of KNOWING we are capable of more yet doing nothing with it.
This pain is real, and if left to its own devices can take on a DARK life of its own (I know from experience).
And the ONLY way to relieve that pain and replace it with the fulfillment and success you know you deserve is to EVOLVE your relationship with fear.
Because when you become FEARLESS, your life becomes LIMITLESS (that’s my new tagline, pretty sweet, right?)
Well, anyway, I went on this rant to let you know that I support you. Fear is real and can seem overwhelming, but it’s not.
Your POWER is overwhelming. And once you start bringing it to life thru action, every aspect of your life will grow and evolve in miraculous ways.
So please, if this hit a chord with you, comment and let me know.
