During Life's Toughest Times, We Must Be Strong
You have got to love the game.
Without that love, you you are truly going to be wearing out the pavement unhappy step after miserable step wishing you were doing something else. What's the point in that? That should be the 1st indicator that you actually should be doing something different - if you dread going in to do the work.
Step into this moment.
You know, the times where you smile while in the struggle, enjoy the pain, laugh at how tricky it is and challenge yourself more and more. Some can be very linear and methodical about their objectives and dreams ...but for me, I'm acting like life is one big stage and there really is a grand orchestra behind me playing all different types of tunes.
I'm dancing through life now. Some periods of time are slower, some much faster...but I'm dancing nonetheless.
You will always remember the people who were there to celebrate with you when you achieved your dream. Regrettably, that isn't always who you thought it was intended to be. But that's ok. They're going to turn out differently in some ways - sometimes for the better and infrequently for the worse. But that is life. That is how the cookie crumbles.
Each day I am going a get in touch deeper into attempting to be the person I want to be and bring out the good traits in myself that were disguised for such a considerable time. I am really learning. There are infrequently days when I don't actually travel deep far into the rabbit hole and search for things covered up deep within. I do not know if I may have it truly another way. In fact , that journey has been going on for nearly 5 years now and it's absolutely impossible to suggest that I'll ever go back to the beginning... to that man before the man I'm today. One thing I do know for sure is that I haven't spent any time finding myself, but instead have spent pretty much all of my time making myself. I suspect there's a huge difference there.
It's creating versus finding... because in all truth, I did not have anything to seek out and "find. " I had to drop everything I had learned to become and everything I presumed I should be so as to become the person I had always dreamed of - not the man society or others told me I should be...but who I knew I may become way down inside.
I screw up. Sometimes I come off too robust or start pouring things out too early. But I do not run scared anymore. I used to - I once was scared of everything. Frightened of making mistakes...scared of myself...scared of losing...scared of abandonment...and I finally discovered ways to drop those one after the next because they turn your life quickly into nothing. They take everything out of you and there you are...just one big ball of being frightened.
Our lives are a sequence of interpretations of what's essentially happening in reality. We bring with us stories and past events that shape what something means to us when it happens in the moment and that often dictates how we act. If we are able to change that interpretation, we will be able to change our entire world.
You've got to love the game.
This game of life. Without love...then what? What is the point if you don't love what you're doing?
A last thing - if you go hard in life and do everything rooted in love and passion, it's going to be pretty tough to knock yourself when you cross the finish line, no matter the circumstances. Just keep that in the back of your head.
Screw up going 100%. Sure there will be impressive wipeouts, but you will recover and be on your merry way again.
