Words With Myself

The Strength You Crave Lies In The Work You Are Unwilling To Do

Feel the fear and do it anyway, is the underlying message of this episode. Acts of courage are not measured by external perception, but in internal conflict. The truest acts of bravery exist when someone overcomes the fear they feel in service of a noble cause. It is not about not feeling scared, or becoming someone that doesn't feel fear, but instead being someone capable of feeling afraid but being unwavering in the face of it.

Gowing Pains and Purgatory

We all go through transitionary periods in our lives, times when we are making or have made changes, yet our circumstances, environment, and relationships have not quite caught up. Sometimes it can be us that's the thing that's not changed or adapted. This period can be painful, we can long for our situation to be different and feel as though we are doing everything to change yet the change isn't being realized in the world. One of two things needs to happen depending on the circumstances, we either need to be patient and allow the fruits of our labour to come to bear, or we are still holding onto something that we need to let go of in order to grow.

The Anxiety Antidote

Trust, not control. Trust that things will be okay, trust that you are capable of dealing with the fallout, trust in the universe. Trust is the antidote to anxiety.

Safety in Solitude

Only when we emerge from the cave, can our eyes truly adjust to the light.

The Quest For Success

When you want to be successful, the first time you achieve your definition of success you realise that your definition was too small. Success is never really achievable to those who are truly wanting it, because those who have a mind wired to attain success know that there is always more to be done. Mastery, an infinite process that many of us treat like a finite one. You can never be the best, you can only be better.

Nature Versus Nurture

Who are you? Why are you the way you are? These questions can keep you busy for a lifetime, but if you are not happy with the answers, they are subject to change. Nothing is set in stone and we are remarkably malleable with the right motivation and mindset.

The Truth Will Set You Free

Honesty is more than not telling lies, it can be extremely hard to live honestly. Living honestly relies on us being honest with ourselves, to be honest with ourselves we have to confront the truth and this can be incredibly painful. The longer we have run from it, the harder it can be to confront it, the longer we have worn the mask the more we see it as our reflection in the mirror.

Give God A Good Game

If you imagine God as a human-like entity sitting on a cloud, playing a video game and the game he was playing was your life, would they be playing a good game? If not, why not? What could you do differently to live your life in a way that you would be happy to play?

A Required Leap of Faith

Sometimes trusting our intuition takes a leap of faith, it takes trusting a deeper knowledge and not a cerebral understanding. There have been many times in my life where I didn't know what the answer was, or there were many paths to take, but deep down I knew what to do. Learning to trust that, hone your relationship with yourself and your intuition, and take the required leap of faith without hesitation.

I Am Not Going Anywhere

Say it to the universe, let it know that nothing will stand in your way, that you will continue to rise and ascend no matter what life throws at you. When you accept your position, when you accept that there is no alternative, the rest is easy.
