Shake off the conditioning, REINVENT YOURSELF!
You are not your mum…
You are not your dad…
You are not your brother…
You are not your sister…
You are not your friend…
You are not your pastor…
You are whoever the fuck you choose to be!
You have this picture in your head of who you want to be…
And you have this other picture of who you have been to date, of who the people around you are, of the limits to which you think you have to live…
And so far, you keep choosing the limited version of yourself thinking that you have no choice and yet, you do have a choice!
You can be that sexy, powerful, brave, bolshy leader who impacts many, influences many, makes a heckuva lot of money…
You can be that person but you have to be willing to do the work to make it happen!
And that is the thing!
You kinda think that you cannot be the person you want to be and so there is a part of you that is very reluctant to work very hard and then to fail and so you put obstacle upon obstacle in your own damn path.
And you prevent yourself from living!
At some point, you need to see that you are the only block to the life you want!
Because when you wake up and realise that you could always have had whatever you wanted, then first you will wonder why the heck you waited so long to just be your very best self and then you will take the fucking limits off and realise that the universe will bend to accommodate the bold, bolshy one who just goes for everything.
It will.
You keep thinking that it is wrong to want what you want.
You keep thinking that it makes you selfish…
It is not.
It is just the fallacy and nonsense you have learnt from past religious, traditional conditioning and you can shake it off any time you want to.
You can have whatever you want…
Just do the work.
Stop worrying so much about being selfish!
By whose standards?!
You have been so conditioned when will you shake it all the fuck off?
I personally think that you are currently living a very selfish life as you refuse to be the warrior champion you are born to be NOW!
How the heck can you impact the world for good while you play so small?
How the hell will you ever make a difference when you are so conce ed about looking good to other people who are also conce ed about looking good to you?!
You already know what needs to be done!
Spirit keep s hinting, speaking, itching at you…
And you keep playing small.
Downplaying yourself…
Pretending to be some itsy-bitsy version of you…
For good ness sake, get to doing what you want to do!
Get to being the leader!
Define the leader that you want to be…
Not who you think you can be, based on your current limitations…
But allow your imagination to soar and then write out a picture of who you choose to be…
And get to work creating that person..
In fact, BE THAT PERSON NOW and make choices about your next activities from that place of certainty of who you choose to be.
You have heard the song “I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky, I think about it every night and day, Spread my wings and fly away, I believe I can soar, I see me running through that open door, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly”
You heard the song and it touched something deep inside of you because you KNOW you are born to fly!
Born to soar!
Born to be more!
Do it now.
Be that person now!
Change your world now!
Let go of all the limitations…
Spend less time with those who seek to limit you…
Well-meaning though they may be, they stifle you…
Get away from them until you establish who you now choose to be…
DO THE WORK OF REINVENTING YOURSELF!
DO THE WORK - It is the only thing that keeps your BIG life at bay!
DO THE FUCKING WORK!
Fight for, deliberately design the life you are born to live…
Because you want to!
PS - I see you and I know you are giving into that sense of hopelessness, wondering if you will ever get everything you want, wondering if you will always be on the outside looking in on the lives of those you admire and I call you out. You do have something to offer the world but it will take you getting beyond that sense of hopelessness and choosing to do the work to create whatever the heck you want.
I can help you!
I have faced down hopelessness time and time again.
Let me show you how to get past it so that you can get on with creating the life you want.
