Fearless
Limitless
Possible
Perfect
Strong
Independent
If those words do not describe you, why not?
It’s because we are built to conform. From a very young age, important people in your life tell you how you to act, behave, think, and live a certain way. Your family and culture may have taught you how to be practical. School, teachers, and peers may call you to conform instead of being creative. The fear of what others think can create limitations. Over time, people become less flexible and don’t even know they are afraid to live.
I remember being young. I dreamed of living in a home on LBI (Long Beach Island). I loved those houses, the ocean, the seagulls, and the small planes with banners flying past. I can still think of the desire to own one. But during those dreams, I didn’t factor in mortgage payments, taxes, electricity, where I would work that would allow me to own one of those homes.
Tonight, there are things you can do to start to dream again. If those words above don’t describe you, ask yourself, do you want them to? Would you like to be fearless? Would you like to change your life? Would you like to feel that you are perfect inside? Would you like to feel that anything in your life is possible? It starts with changing your thoughts. Adopt a growth mindset. Encourage yourself to think big. Instead of telling yourself what you can’t do, tell yourself you can. Set a crazy bold goal. Sign up for a class you’ve always wanted to take. If and when you fail, bounce back. Obstacles are part of the journey. Get out of that comfort zone. Be thankful for who you are and how far you’ve come. Read something positive (my book: Full Speed In Reverse), listen to positive tracks, create a new healthy habit, be open, reflect with kindness, and believe in yourself.
A smooth sea never created a skilled sailor. If you have been through the worst, then know in your heart that you are prepared for anything life brings your way.
Tonight, when you go to sleep, think of something you would like to do, become, or be. Close your eyes and feel it. Remember the power you were born with.
