I have been thinking a lot about my life and current challenges I am facing. Something that I have realized during all this thinking is that I haven’t let go of the idea of what my life is “supposed” to be. These thoughts come from social norms and concepts that I was raised on. Stories I have told myself based on others views and not mine.
I can identify that I am getting caught up on these things and I have started to create my own reality. In my own reality, my challenges are viewed only as opportunities to become stronger and more wise. You see life isn’t just black and white, there are far more complexities associated with your journey. I have learned this first hands.
If you find yourself feeling resistance while on your journey, know that as you start to grow and step outside your comfort zone it’s going to get harder. The leveled up version of you is going to be required.
I have written down the woman I have to become to live the life I desire and right now I do not possess all the abilities on that list. However, I know that this season is where those skills and experiences will be acquired.
That is what keeps me focused. That is what keeps me going. That is what keeps me doing the hard shit everyday when I sure as shit just want to burn it all to the ground.
When I close my eyes and see future me… she is smiling, she is loved by herself and those in her circle, she is impactful, she adds value…
SHE cannot have ANY OF THAT without going through ALL OF THIS.
Remember that when you are in a challenging season. It’s part of the path to develop parts of you that are underdeveloped.
