Month: June 2023

What you hide, hides from you.

You can’t be afraid to show yourself.

You have to surface.

The consequences of hiding– whether it be keeping yourself physically locked away or mentally and emotionally deceptive, never sharing your true views and outlooks, has one price and you will pay it:

Your soul.

You’ll lose contact with who you are and then you’ll spend the rest of your life never knowing yourself.

You’ll follow others.

You’ll wander aimlessly.

You’ll never become anything or do anything.

To avoid this fate, you have to STOP hiding.

Fuck being shy, insecure, FUCK being small.

You feel weak? Show up anyway.

You feel worthless? Who gives a shit.

Learn to silence your emotions by MOVING FORWARD anyway.

The action you need to take is whatever attacks that voice.

FACE YOURSELF to face the world.

On the other side of your worst nightmare, is who you’re supposed to become.

You’re allowed to feel fear.

You’re allowed to be afraid.

But you can’t believe it.

You have to see destruction as part of your salvation.

You have to get angry–

and then, rather than wasting that anger on others or circumstances, you have to be selfish with it.

You have to keep it all for yourself, and USE IT.

You have to make the choice to love your own suffering.

Real power doesn’t come from affirmations or feel good quotes.

It comes from staying in the ring, letting yourself get hit and rather than retreating, learning to bleed— because you’re better for it.

You’re already dying, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ve got something to lose.

How things look, don’t make them what they are.

The illusions we cast are powerful– and you’ll be tempted to do it.

Lying can get you a job, it can open any door, start new relationships, even get you in some exciting adventures.

But you will never fool yourself.

The more you lie, the more you drown the person who was supposed to live your life- YOU.

Become a lie, and no one can reach you.

You’ll be permanently isolated within your own mind and body, alone, stuck in the fake world you created— and there, no one will be able to save you.

If you want a fulfilling life, that comes from none other than the truth.

See where truth takes you.

I did this.

I was a liar.

It was how I fought, how I survived, and how I got ahead.

But it made me miss out on real life— because illusions can never replace what is real, and no matter how close to the real thing an imitation is, it can never substitute the truth.

The experiences that come from living with your life on the line— vulnerable, authentic, that is your destiny.

Don’t rob yourself of your life from fear of being yourself.

Pull deep within, face it all, embrace it. Sit in the dark until your eyes adjust, and become your own light.

Every belief we hold onto, adds a layer over our perception.

When you consume content from people you’re open to, it’s like putting eye drops in— but these drops slowly change your eye color to theirs.

You start to view the world as they do.

You start to see the way they see.

The problem with this is— for starters, they might be wrong.

They might not be what you need for your path.

They might remove you from developing in ways only you were supposed to.

Don’t take others prescriptions.

You can learn from all, but don’t become them.

It took 10 years for me to cook.

10 years to learn who I am,

who I’m not,

what I want,

what I don’t.

10 years to learn “HERE” was the only place I needed to be.

Adopt the mindset of “Forward Regardless”

I’ve had the lowest of lows, the euphoric of highs, but the road of my life doesn’t change– despite how many times I do.

The road goes one way, forward.

You’re here to be HERE.

LIVE.

The dream you keep circling back to,

most likely– it IS for you.

But not right now, because you’re unworthy.

If you weren’t, you’d have already started walking the path.

You have to stop failing the same way.

I used to always cut people off, start over, “rebirth” is what I called it.

I thought that was my strength…

Or what would lead to my success.

Ironic—

since it was the ONLY thing delaying me from having everything I ever wanted.

ONLY when I stopped doing that, and instead EMBRACED my life— then my head stopped spinning.

The fog cleared, and I could finally walk towards my desires.

You must do the same.

That thing you keep doing over and over— it’s probably not a quirk, but a test you have yet to pass.

Rather than focusing on what you want, try to pass your test, and the wants grant themselves.

You can trust your instincts, but you shouldn’t follow them into the void.

Without a past, YOU can’t have a future.

If you don’t know where you come from, you can never know who you are or where to go.

Real success comes from embracing YOUR story.

That means EMBRACING your name.

You need roots to grow upward.

Denying your history won’t erase it.

Only disempower you by robbing you of the strengths that person possessed to endure it.

Embrace your myth and complete your story.

When’s the last time you sat with yourself?

Just sat and talked to yourself.

No social media, no people, no noise.

Just you and the dialogue with your self.

We water relationships with others and never think to do the same with ourselves.

The only person you can ever fully know is you, and most won’t ever do that.

But to change your life, you’ve got to know what’s good for you and what’s not.

You’ve got to listen.

And to listen, you’ve got to speak.
