What\u2019s stopping you from where you want to be?

\u200bWhat is causing all the doubts, the questions spiraling into an endless abyss of #nevermind?

Who is it that you admire? Who believed in themselves through the doubts? Who had a dream, and it came true? Who did “it” even though the fear drove them crazy? Who is it that you look at and think if only that were me?<\/em>

Where is it that you desire to be in 5 years? Where is that motivation you had those years ago when you did something you had no idea you could do?

When will it be your time? When will you think you deserve to see all those things you aspired to come to fruition, and when will someone be looking up to you?

I know the answers to all these questions. \u00a0I’ve pondered over them for…days, months, and even years. I<\/div> remembered, \u00a0then forgot. I’ve achieved then failed. Then achieved again. Most importantly, I believed. I listened. I’ve attacked me. I’ve attacked those detrimental thoughts with overwhelming clear thoughts of the truth of who I am. I’ve filled those dark holes of doubt with determination and voiced my mission…back to…me.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
I’ve grown to desire experiences<\/a> over things.\u00a0\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u200b\u200b<\/strong>I’ve learned and acquired an understanding that this ish is never-ending. That conquering<\/div>\nyour ego is like the limelight of celebrity that Kim Kardashian always looks for! Or maybe it’s like a flash of you keeping up with the Joneses (btw look up who that is) the wrong way.\u00a0

Let me help you to recall…all those times you had NO IDEA how things would work out.
Let me take you back to when you had NO IDEA how you would get out of the mess life brought upon you to face.

Let me remind you when you had NO IDEA what would happen next, but let me remind you how you got out

— by believing and taking action. Simply put, all things are not what they seem. We are pawns of life attempting to move (it\u2019s hauling) us in a different direction. To thrust us into the life of our dreams. But that whole resistance of fear sets in and causes a massive ball of \u201cthis ish is not gonna work!

Am I right?

The truth is…the point is…it\u2019s not necessary to think beyond the first step. Sure, consider it, but let’s backtrack to the\u00a0last\u00a0time.

You know, THAT time (there may be many times to count) in which the first step was ALL you could even conjure up in your mind to think about.
\u200b
It\u2019s that whole aspect of thinking in the present that works. Self-help books talk about it ALL the time.

\u200bIt makes sense,<\/span> though. That future-looking, we have all fallen victim to ain\u2019t (yep, I\u2019m using that word) doing a thing for you besides causing some avoided anxiety.<\/span>\n
\u200b
You got this!!

Take the first step…and…

Let’s GET IT!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
