What’s hatnin’ fool?
There’s a lot of positive changes in my life and that has led me to being a positive downer this morning (like that snake friend who reminds you of a loss when you win).
It’s easy to run with it, especially for me.
I’m winning right now, and it’s a lot of wins at once. It’s TOO easy to take this and make it apart of me- define myself by it, after all, this is who I’ve always wanted to be.
As much as I love it, and believe me, I’m completely absorbed in the moment- BUT on some stoicism shit, I remind myself its all temporary.
Because nothing lasts.
Sure, I’m winning now, and it’s fun but eventually losing will follow, and I have to be ready for that too. If I define myself as the winner- as soon as I lose, I’ll come crashing down. #MeltedWings
So how do I enjoy this moment, develop my skills, and keep myself level throughout life’s obstacles?
I attach my identity/values to something that can’t be taken.
That’s what you have to do.
Make it personal. Not your career, position, wealth, none of that. That’s all fun, but dangerous to be defined by because it’s not in your control. NEVER define yourself by externals.
I am my character.
The person who adapts quick, learns and evolves, constantly faces adversity, and rises. I’m the person who values keeping composure no matter what, letting go, and always acting bold despite having doubt.
I choose to stay playful and flirt with the world, because misery is a failed approach to having a good life.
We only control our responses and approach.
You’re an attitude and a mindset. Everything else is either a byproduct of that, or circumstantial. Either way, not for you to decide.
Figure out what makes you unique- your quirks, skills, interests, and stay developing yourself.
When you realize what you are can never be taken, you’ll always thrive. Regardless of your station in life.
