I never was a fan of labels.
I always hated how carelessly other people would walk around and stick a word on someone… maybe it’s because I know what the human being does and how one lives up to their reputation, good or bad.
That said, there is an upside to this quirk.
You can take that label gun of yours and stick it against yourself for positive change (Re-define your label).
Everyone says be authentic.
But really, what the hell does that actually mean?
If you grew up in any generation ever, then you were born to a time and thus you’ve been socialized to some extent.
You don’t fully know or understand yourself.
Every I AM statement defines you and it blows my mind how careless so many of us are uttering those worlds.
I AM (fill in the blank).
See how many you can come up with. I AM a mother, father, democrat, republican, writer, Christian, Atheist, disciplined, etc.
We use our labels to make sense of the limitless potentials we are– because we can’t stay limitless. To actualize your potential, you have to choose a direction and stick to it.
That’s how you take something and make more out of it.
But a lot of us choose groups…
…not me.
I don’t identify with tribes.
That’s not to say some of my beliefs aren’t shared by others, I’m just not giving up my individuality saying we belong together.
And why?
Because every awesome thing in my life came from me DOING and BEING Me (Complete Authenticity).
It’s such an exciting time to be alive, there is so much going on in the world. Cool advancements in tech and medicine, shifts in career and work, abundance of opportunities for everyone, yet most can’t see it… they do nothing.
They haven’t learned the basics.
I’m not pursuing every hot new trend, because I know who I am. I’m taking what I’m like and matching it to my environment as much as possible.
That’s the formula for fulfillment.
That’s all you need to do.
Find the nature, that matches your nature.
