Live your best life.
That point when you realise you're living the life you said you'd never live. You've become the person that you said you'd never be. You're treating those you love the way you said you'd never treat them. You've been so unconscious you became everything you never wanted to be...
And now you've finally had enough. Enough of the mediocre life, enough of the poor me, the victim mindset, the scarcity. You reclaim your power and you begin to take that very first step to becoming your best self and living your BEST life.
We all take this journey... The journey of discovery... The journey of finding out who you are, of who you want to be, of WHY you are here.
The journey for me has felt like I've been on a treadmill, walking, running, and walking some more but never getting anywhere. Still stuck in the same place that I began. I take a new turn, I learn something new, I fall, I get back up and still I'm right here.
Early this year there was a change in the winds, the energy around me shifted. Suddenly I realised I was in the same place just like before but it had changed. That one moment that changes everything. We all get there eventually, it's just a matter of when... For so long I was trying to force the change, to get to the destination without taking the journey, I wanted to skip the journey all together and get to the "good" part. But it doesn't work like that. After attending a seminar in January I finally got the message I had been desperately yearning for. It was time to stop f***ing around, to get a move one, to make my dreams a reality... It was time to stand up and share my message with the world. We all have a message to share, a mission to conquer, an adventure to be lived and explored, and a world to discover.
Sharing your message can be scary to even consider, there have been so many hurdles along the way that got me to where I am right now. I have stopped myself time and time again only to end up back in the same place wondering why have I postponed my happiness again? I tried different paths, thinking that's what I should be doing, that's what the logical answer is and I wind up even more unhappy then when I started.
Since the seminar in January my life has turned and twisted, stretched and retracted, I've felt like I've been thrown around like a pinball, never knowing where I'm going to wind up. And it's been the most exciting stage of my life so far. I've been pushed so far out of my comfort zone, I've been tested time and time again with absolutely no certainty of it slowing down anytime soon... And you know what... I'm absolutely loving it.
Many of us are so afraid to die... But I think a lot of us are actually more afraid to Live. We've been conditioned to live a particular life, to act a certain way, to be a certain way, to hide our true selves, to bury our dreams and aspirations. And we end up at the end of the road, on our death bed with all these regrets. Why end your life there when you could be and experience so much more, so much beyond your wildest dreams?
I've realised the "certainties" that we so desperately hold on to are all illusions. The degree you studied (the one you hated) to get a good job, didn't work out because everyone did the same degree and now there's just too much competition. The job you accepted because they guaranteed financial security went bankrupt and now you're out of a job with a family to feed. The partner you married because it was "that time" to settle down and start a family became unhappy and left. Nothing is ever really certain. You could lose it all tomorrow or you could gain everything you've ever wanted. Time is all we have, and we never know when it's going to end, so why not make the most of it doing what you love, what fills you with joy, spend it with those you love.
I finally realised the journey is actually the BEST part. Put the destination aside and decide to be happy now. Decide to be your best self and live your best life.
What is it that you could do everyday with a smile on your face?
