“I had an aching sense that our time is short, shorter than we ever know, short as a morning run, and I wanted mine to be meaningful. And purposeful. And creative. And important. Above all…different” (Knight, Phil. Shoedog. A memoir by the Creator of Nike. pg.3)
Why is it always hard to get started?
Most importantly…to keep going when things aren’t going the way you planned?
The quicker you accept that everything towards evolving involves hard, the quicker you will learn to adapt to anything that is thrown your way.
You won’t know it all, but allow that to be the fun part of the game…what are you going to do about it when you don’t know?
Creativity…problem solving…learning something new to apply into your vision is the built up grit within that will push you through it.
You’re already a step ahead by simply wanting a better life for you. Most just settle.
Then blame the world, past trauma, past relationships on why they are the way they are. News flash…we ALL have our own levels of hardships.
No hardship is harder than another because not everyone is born in the same place, environment or even the same culture.
Success and happiness requires different skill sets. You’re not meant to always be happy when you’re doing some hard shit and going through hard times.
Your human and you’re meant to feel those emotions.
Understand that your mind is just as powerful as your emotions to help you think logically and not make emotional reactive decisions.
Facts are ALWAYS facts.
Know what is real and what is not real.
Emotions can sometimes fog up our reality. It does not mean that it is our reality.
We have control of making changes to our reality.
Life doesn’t wait for you. It allows you to decide what you will do to continue investing in your daily happiness.
Who gives a fuck about what anyone thinks about what you want to do seeking the life you envision.
Having the freedom that we have in America allows us to shoot for the stars.
Some of us have lost sight of that.
What brings our country together is not allowing those bad people (yes there are bad people) divide us as a nation.
It begins with uniting our communities. Wherever it is.
The skill sets you need to be successful mentally, physically and spiritually are skills that benefit your growth. No one else is inside your mind and body.
You’re responsible. Become the business owner for your body to continue investing
Every single person has a different view on life and depending on their upbringing, triumph and overall life experiences you can learn something. It’s called being open minded. You aren’t the only human on Earth.
Listen. Analyze. Plan. Execute. Adapt.
