Le's Brown told a story of a dog laying on a nail, continuously howling in pain. The dog was free to move whenever he wanted. When the owner was asked why the dog won't get off the nail, his reply was hell get up when the pain becomes uncomfortable. Life can beat you up so bad that you think this is what normal feels like. We lose sight of hope. Lose sight of some kind of sense of control. I know that feeling. I also know that the only reason the pain feels normal is because walking towards what I want scares the hell out of me. Its not easier to stay down. Trust me. The pain is 10x worse than the journey. Go be brave. Ask what are you afraid of and stare it down. Journal it until you feel set free.
Its not always the external naysayers that hold us back. Its our own self talk. How often do you tell yourself "you can't" or "you don't deserve"? We limit ourselves according to our own experiences. We don't realize that there really is no predetermined set of rules that we have to stick to. Let go of the labels and stop using the phrase that its impossible. Knock those walls down and go discover you. ❤
This morning I passed a sign that read, "Why are you still sitting in traffic?" It got me to thinking, what if there was a rewind button? If you could go back, what would you do different? What would you change? ⌛How would you spend your time knowing what you know now? I would have stopped being scared of criticism. Stop worrying about what other people think. I hope you share your thoughts in the comments. ❤😀
Its the last day of the month. We are one month into the new decade...how are you feeling? Are you on track to your goals? Have any of them changed? Write about one thing you did this month that that you consider your bravest accomplishment. Confidence doesn't come from psyching yourself up to do something that scares you. Confidence comes from the doing. Experience is what builds confidence. Write it in your journal and remind yourself you CAN do it.
You might want to stay tucked under the covers, but how do you grow from a position of comfort? The quiet hours were made for us. Leave the others resting while we write the stories and paint the 🌍.
Working this goal so I can get to Nine of Pentacles. I know it's supposed to be a day of fun activities, but I'm not where I want to be yet. I'll be putting in some hours for editing and writing. If you're in the U.S., Happy 4th of July!
