You have to love the game.
Without that love, you will be patrolling the pavement miserable step after sad step wishing you were doing something else. What is the point in that? That should really be the first indicator that you really should be doing something different - if you dread going in to do the work.
Step into this moment.
You know, the moment where you smile while in the struggle, enjoy the pain, make fun of how tricky it is and challenge yourself to keep going. Some can be systematic about their targets and dreams , but for me, I'm acting like life is one big stage and there really is a grand orchestra behind me playing all different kinds of tunes.
I am, for the first time, dancing through life at this time. Some periods of time are slower, some much faster...but I am dancing nevertheless.
You will always remember the people who were there to celebrate with you when you achieved your dream. Sadly, that's not always who you presumed it was going to be. But that really is ok. They will turn out differently in a number of ways - sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. But that is life. That is how the cookie crumbles.
Each and every day I'm going a get in touch further into attempting to be the individual I want to be and bring out the good characteristics in myself that were hidden for such a long time. I'm learning. There are rarely days when I do not travel deep into the rabbit hole and search for things covered up inside. I don't know if I may have it truly any other way. Actually that journey has been going on for nearly 5 years now and it's absolutely impossible to suggest that I'll ever return to that man before the one I've turned I'm today. One thing I do know for sure is that I haven't spent any time finding myself, but rather have spent pretty much all of my time building myself. I suspect there's a huge difference there.
It's creating vs finding... because in all truth, I really didn't have anything to actually "find. " I had to drop everything I had learned to become and everything I thought I deserve to be to become the type of man I had always dreamed of - not the person society or others told me I should be...but who I knew I might become way down inside.
I make mistakes. Frequently I come off too robust or start pouring things out too early. But I don't run scared anymore. I used to - I used to be scared of everything. Frightened of making mistakes...scared of myself...scared of losing...scared of abandonment...and I finally found methods to drop those one at a time because they turn your life quickly into nothing. They take everything out of you and there you are...just one big ball of being shocked.
Our lives are a series of interpretations of what is and without a doubt happening in truth. We bring with us stories and past events that shape what something means to us when it happens and that customarily dictates how we act. If we are able to change that interpretation, we will be able to change our whole world.
You have got to love the game.
This game of life. Without love...then what? What's the point if you don't love what you're doing?
A last thing - if you go hard in life and do everything deep set in love and zeal, it's going to be pretty damn tough to knock yourself when you cross the finish line, no matter the circumstances. Just keep that in the back of your mind.
Mess up going 100%. Sure there willthere will be incredible wipeouts, but you'll recover and be on your merry way again.
