I’m sure you’ve heard the two wolves saying,

basically,

Each of us has two wolves inside of us and they’re different from one another– so you have to feed both,

blah, blah, blah.

Well, if you’ve reached the end and gone as far as you can go, it’s time to switch wolves.

LEAD with the other.

We have different energies in us.

You can channel something new,

and you need to, if you’re stuck.

If you normally lead towards detachment, go the other way.

Break your patterns by channeling something new, play a different role.

You’ll find a whole new life—

My last job was mostly remote, on top of that, it was a creative role.

That meant a lot of internet-ing (following trends, riding new wave ideas, constant research, and being open to insanity).

The internet is a mad world.

Think about it— if the gasoline that fuels its motion is attention, the machine has to constantly find new ways to grab and hold yours.

It does that with drama.

You see all the crazy shit online and start to believe it.

The machines goal is to keep you coming back….

…but if you’re going there, you’re not here….. in real life.

These last few weeks, I’ve been working in person— at a business, and it’s not what the internet advertises.

Here– people disagree,

and can do so without hating each other.

They work together.

They don’t get offended easily.

They’re normal.

There’s no my pronouns, identity, political party, tribe, group, belief, this, that, you, me, conspiracy, narcissism…..

There’s just people.

Being people.

Leave this virtual psych ward and you’ll find life is a lot more beautiful without the filers.

Not the smile through pain type?

Maybe you ought to be.

We piss away our lives waiting for the things we enjoy, but that only trains you to hold back— and keep holding back.

Til you reach the end, full of wasted potential.

Instead,

Give it your all.

Practice EMBRACING everything.

We should all have one goal— to leave nothing in the tank.

Give your life to your life and you’ll live more in every moment than most people do for 80 years.

Look at where you are right now, look.

Ask yourself, since I’m here:

What is this trying to teach me?

In the span of two weeks, I became a different person.

It was always in me,

but it used to be out of reach.

To become what you are, you have to COOK in your own fire.

You have to shut off the world and listen.

Listen for instruction,

Listen inside,

Listen and you’ll see where to go.

Then

Obey it.

Stress, anxiety, and living under a constant state of uneasiness, these symptoms don’t come from your self-diagnosed neurotic personality.

They come from focusing on the outcome:

performing.

You DO need to perform in life, but the irony is, when you focus on performing rather than participating, you usually don’t do so well.

Think of role playing in sales jobs.

With clients you know what to say and never stutter, but as soon as you get in front of a group— you go full deer in headlights and are rendered speechless.

It’s no different in life.

If you want to do well, focus on DOING the thing, not how the thing will play out.

Focus on the activity and let go of the outcome.

Participate.

You know what you’re good and bad at,

but is that because you tried it all already or because you decided?

We limit ourselves BUT not because of beliefs,

but decision.

You made up your mind about yourself.

You wrote yourself off– what is and isn’t for you,

what you like and hate,

where you do well and where you don’t.

But what if

You’re wrong?

What if this whole time you’ve been missing the invitation to live your life?

Forget what you know.

Be open.

See what this human you call yourself is capable of,

do something different.

Don’t run,

Go.

Move into action.

Escaping and running away, retreating to the security of your own, safe world, will kill you– and slowly.

This constant need to search for and prioritize security, to become sedated in it, is your biggest obstacle and character flaw.

You don’t need more solitude,

You don’t need more self punishment.

You need surrender,

Trust.

Allow what could happen to happen.

And be there when it does.

I’ve always put it off,

wanting to go all in on my strengths

To not face my weaknesses.

But somehow they resurface, because the truth is,

THIS is why you’re here.

You won’t get to the other side— where you HOPE to go,

UNLESS you fight your war.

You’re not up against what you’re afraid of.

It’s not people, circumstances, obstacles, none of that is what you fear.

It’s your GUARD.

YOU vs YOUR GUARD.

The voice that tells you to run, hide, quit, give up, RETREAT.

And you listen— and keep listening….

That’s why you’re here.

You HAVE TO Turn around,

Fight.

Learn to breath calmly under fire, and you’ll find that your guard is

ALL BARK

No BITE.

Hey Transformer,

For the next year I’m going to focus on one thing—

Pushing my limits.

I’m inviting you to do the same.

If you can let go of your worries, wants, and needs– only for this next year, and spend your focus on transforming yourself, the life you wish for will grant itself.

Here’s how it works:

Pick your insecurity, struggle, or chink in the armor, AND DRILL IT.

Attack it.

Move directly towards what you suck at, and BUILD THAT.

This momentum will propel you to an entirely different world, one you used to wish for.

There’s just one downside to time travel,

You’re still your future age, only now, you get to play that level with the skills you got from tomorrow.

No one else will notice you’re older,

so keep it secret.

Oh,

and you can only go back,

because forward is outside of your control.

So once you choose your desired year to re-do,

you’ll have to live from then on, in that reality.

So choose wisely.

Now, before you wake to that time,

here’s how to choose the year:

Think back to a pivotal decision, the ONE that changed the course of your life.

If you could revise it,

It would likely lead to a completely different life.

You might have hit your goals sooner, been more fulfilled, have the things you chased in the wrong directions.

It could have been a move to a different country, or state, or leaving school, or starting school, it’s different for each of us—

But you’ll know it because the mind holds onto these things.

Once you have it,

the year— the decision, the choice you want to do over,

Be clear on what you would have done differently.

Would you have stayed instead of left, worked instead of traveled, traveled instead of climbing the corporate ladder?

Decide.

Now,

Step into that, in the present.

Seriously.

I know, but you’re older, life moved on, things changed— it doesn’t matter.

Take that mindset and PICKUP from that year— mentally, spiritually, physically.

The lessons you’d have given to that you, LIVE them now. Live them today, and you’ll find the course of your life start to change.

Because you can’t change one thing, without changing it all.

Live your past advice, today.

–Fool
