Humbled

Trying to become better is hard. I have recently undergone a pretty life changing surgery, a liver transplant. Since then I feel as though I have a second chance at life. I don’t want to continue making the same mistakes I made before. I have always had tendencies to be the biggest personality in the room. I’ve struggled with narcissism, becoming arrogant, and taking feedback from anyone. I was always defensive.

Now I just want to make sure those around me feel loved and happy. I’m trying to remember that I don’t have to be a millionaire to be happy. I don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, or smartest. Sitting in that hospital bed, all I did was wonder if anyone would care if I was gone. I have been lucky enough in my life to make a few incredible friends. They were the ones checking on me everyday. Even going as far as to visit me in the hospital, spending the night, just so I wouldn’t be alone. Those are the people who are important to me. I had hundreds of prayers going out for me, but did I pray for any of them.....no....

It’s a harsh truth to realize, you can do better, you can be better. I’ve always heard that self awareness is key to a happy, successful, fulfilling life. I’m just trying to figure that out. I think the first thing I have to give up is my damn ego.

“A single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

— Henry David Thoreau

Normally, when I am writing these blog posts I try to write about the things that are taking place right now, or in the near future. However today I want to write about my past. I am currently listening to an audiobook written by David Goggins called “Can’t hurt me”. If you haven’t heard of David Go

This is a great quote and I absolutely agree! I highly recommend watching Aladin and watch how Disney enhances this idea!

I’ve spoken often about making choices. I’ve thought about them even more. One of the more prominent decision’s I have been facing is the choice of whether I want to be an entrepreneur or pursue a career.

Why is it important to confront childhood trauma? All the pain we experienced as children, whether it be at the ages of 6, 11, or what have you, had a lasting effect on our lives. If a adult experiences a traumatic event, we typically have coping mechanisms to help us handle the emotions we feel.

How often have we all felt immobilized by the daunting tasks needed to be completed each day. I have laid in bed, overwhelmed by the mere idea of attempting the long list of tasks that must be accomplished. It’s a common fear that actually causes a great deal of anxiety for much of the world.

False Starts

I have had so many false starts in my life. I start something with passion and enthusiasm and overtime it fizzles. From sports, to hobbies, jobs and business. It’s amazing what you can become acclimatized to and eventually lose interest in. I think that’s why they say motivation doesn’t last forever, even will power can only last for so long against an opposing force. The best tricks I have learned is first to find something you have felt passionate about for longer than 1 year. We have all been swept away in the emotions of the moment, but its what happens after you’ve been doing it for an extended amount of time that is a true test of love.

The next tip I found is to create habits, even what seems like the greatest thing in world will eventually lose its luster. For example, I have always enjoyed going to the movies, but if I am sick or have already sat most of a day, I don’t even want to go to that. However, If you create habits, that you do no matter what the conditions: rain, shine, day, night, sick, healthy, then you have a chance of succeeding.

My last tip for this article is to find a way to hold yourself accountable. Find an accountability partner, blast what your doing on social media, so that you have to not only admit to yourself your have chosen to quit, but others as well. This keeps me on the path I have deemed worth my time. The biggest commitment is to have something on the line, if it’s a purchase than you have money on the line, if it’s time intensive then you have all that time wasted if you quit. The key to avoiding false starts is to keep moving forward. Don’t quit.
