would you consider yourself to be fearless? now, I know one thing that instantly comes to mind when I imagine being fearless, is, perhaps, living a life like Spiderman or Antman LOL! of course, I wish!
but, what I am referring to, is, the courage to truly become unstoppable…. the mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial elasticity that inevitably helps us endure and overcome all adversity and opposition life throws our way; would you say this defines you?
if your answer is no, that is okay…. and if your answer is yes, that is simply wonderful!
this morning, as I was preparing for my day, I was mentally engaging in my tasks and, I was thinking to myself, ‘wow, this repetition can be truly redundant, yet, I still love it!’ LOL
and, as I began to enjoy humoring myself… it dawned on me, how consistent and content I became when I simply accepted how lonely and boring life can be at times… especially if we don’t learn to recognize and enjoy the small things.
needless to say, I was then feeling quite inspired to compose this post. I can only hope these reflections I share will inspire you, too!
anyways, what I realized was, how strong I am! I realized how much courage it takes to make my self-care and well-being a priority each day, and how much courage it takes to be consistent and reliable, to myself. I realized that as much as I can easily make excuses for myself, I can equally as easily hold myself accountable and be honest with myself when I notice myself feeling complacent.
reflecting on these facts alone will shock you to the core if you imagine how many people you know who CANNOT relate LOL! which is what led me to realize how ‘lonely’ this process can be. Lonely in the sense that, you likely won’t see a crowd of people gathering around you right away. likely, you will find yourself ‘alone’ much of the time. self-care, consistency, reliability, accountability…. they sound trendy and aesthetically appeasing in theory, more than they are, in reality.
creating the life we envision for ourselves is all a walk in the park, in theory. you know, they say, just close your eyes, envision the life you dream of…. open your eyes, and watch the magic happen!
😅 you’ve got to be kidding me, right?
now, I can agree with this theory, to a degree. however, when we translate that theory into reality, we will quickly realize, the biggest part of the equation, apart from our imagination and belief, is, our hard work, and our consistency!
the ideal that life will simply deal us a lucky hand is preposterous. frankly, that fact alone has always been the root of my journey as an influencer and creator.
I remember being much younger and impressionable, and the way life led me to believe success would be an easy journey…. a pure circus! in our innocence and ignorance, we have a way of believing in even the most abstract ideals! we are easily swayed and some of the most wacky things can lead us off onto a tangent. we trust easily and we hope with optimism.
although I would have to say I had quite the gullible childhood… one thing I never really misunderstood was the requirement for hard work and self-assertion. I did go through a phase in my life where I thought maybe I would get a free pass of some sort, or, a free ride, as people tend to call it.
another time of my life I look back on and laugh at myself hysterically! 😆 we live and we learn!
these days, I can’t appreciate my work ethic and deep rooted character more! the truth about life isn’t intimidating to me anymore. the facts of reality are something I have learned to enjoy and find comfort in. for example, as much as I wish I could fly like a bird, I know, as a human, I won’t ever fly like a bird LOL. hey, as much as I hate it…. its a fact of reality I must accept! this logic is the same logic I use anytime I face a dilemma in my day-to-day life when I am facing a fear of failure.
how powerful hard work and consistency have made me! they have made me unstoppable, because, I have become fearless!
once I learned how to master being on my own and viewing life from a broader perspective, an optimistic and hopeful point of view… everything began to fall into place for me, in a very positive way!
