A dear professor asked me this question once. At the time, I was excited about it. What a wonderful question. And I thought I knew my answer. . . . It is easy to say that we aren’t afraid of falling. Falling is a failure. Of course, I’m not afraid of heights, I want the climb! I want to be at the top. If I fail so what! . . . But the question changes meaning over time. What happens when you’re actually faced with incredible heights of opportunity and you are frozen at the bottom of the mountain staring up at the peaks? . . . What does it take for you to make that move? We see it. It won’t be easy. But it’s right there. It's going to challenge everything you know. . . . The hike may be difficult. But what happens when you reach the top? Will you stand up and look out at the incredible journey you just made? Or will you stand frozen in fear? . . . The peak is where the most fear appears. There is absolutely the chance you fall. You may lose your footing after you’ve come so far. . . . . But there is also a chance that being up so high leads to flight. What if instead of falling, you sprout wings and fly? There is so much more to see. What if there is another Mountain and you could go even higher!?!? . . . Can you handle the height of how far you want to go? Or is your fear of failing holding you back? . . . You don't have to be afraid of your own greatness. You can be excited about all opportunities you can create anything you want. You are the only thing that is holding you back. . . . . #_letyourselffly #letyourselfshine #itstime #dontbeshy #failingforward #growthmindset #dontletfearstopyou #yougotthis #youvecomesofar #letgooffear #growthroughit #fearisalie #mindsetmonday #mindsetcoach #mindsetmatters #lovetheclimb #lovethejourney #youweremadeforthis @_letyourselffly #mountains #flying #doityourself #justfuckingdoit (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ZnCYUgpm1/?igshid=1t2tsett000g1

Our story is not what makes us. It is the relationship we choose to have with our story.... Read that again . . . You have two choices. You can either A: Let your story hold you as a slave to your past and continue to live in a place of fear, unworthiness, failure... etc . . . OR . . . B: Embrace every ounce of your story. Feel gratitude for every trauma, every heartbreak, every failure, addiction, setback, love, happiness, joy, hatred, every fucked up mess that you have ever gone through and create a beautiful life from the ashes. . . . I am grateful for all of the pain I have endured, just as I am grateful for all of life’s beauty. I wouldn’t be me without it. . . . Who would you be?? What is your relationship with your story? How can you find love and compassion for yourself as you look back at how far you’ve come in this world?? . . . Embrace your story. Love you fully. Be beautifully you and every possible way. ♥️♥️ . . And if you done know how, ask me. Send me a message dear one and let’s talk about how beautiful your story is. Let’s help you discover just how much of a fucking rockstar you are. All you have to do is ask. I got you. . . . . #_letyourselffly #bebeautifullyyou #claimyourstory #selflove #growingspiritually #lovingmyself #speakingmytruth #compassionate #compassion #compassionategangster #selfcare #beautifulsoul #iamme #ichooseme #iamworthy #iambrave #mystory #sofuckingsexy #powerful #beastmode #nofilter #rockstar #bossbabe #queen #lgbt #fitfam #🤸‍♀️ #🧘🏻‍♀️ #🏋🏻‍♀️ (at Ocean Beach, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B512RrAgfOd/?igshid=1y0am43mhchep

STOP..... avoiding opportunities because of your fear. . . . You know who you are. You know what scares you. Is it fear of what others will think of you? Fear that you don’t know exactly how it’s going to work out? Fear that it will work out?? . . . None of that matters. Seriously. Get over it. . . . It comes down to living in your truth. What makes your heart sore? What do you need to #liveyourbestlife (oh yeah- I hashtagged that shit) . . . The point is, you need to free yourself from the constraints that YOU have put on yourself. . . . Let yourself fly. Take that opportunity! Who cares who’s watching. It’s your time to shine baby. . . . #_letyourselffly wearing my #flagnorfail apparel 😉 #stopmissingyourlife #jumpin #whoareyou #whatsyourbiggestfear #opportunity #opportunityknocks #flagpole #poledance #poletricks #polinginpublic #target #blackfriday2019 #nobull #nobullproject #playtime (at Fremont, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dpgDnAbPY/?igshid=162wgjec2v03w

Think about it. Have you ever slowed down enough to really ask yourself why you react the way you do in different situations??? . . Whether what you’re experiencing is either good or bad, there is an underlying reason for the reaction that follows. . . . There is power in this. The less you know your emotions the weaker you really are. . . . I think something that a lot of people don’t understand fully is that emotions are real. And they can be really fucking hard to deal with if we don’t understand why we are having the emotional response that takes place. Some people will avoid emotions their entire lives because they don’t want to experience being uncomfortable, when in reality they are avoiding what lessons that these emotions may be holding. Emotions can be paralyzing if you don’t know how to analyze them. . . . Tere is so much underneath the surface makes it hard to analyze sometimes. So it can be “dramatic” for people that completely shut them off because they aren’t taking the time to understand the lesson that we can receive when we choose to take a deeper look at our emotions. . . . So the next time you feel “crazy” or that “oh she is just being dramatic” or “I’m so happy that I’m crying” .... stop and ask yourself why? . . . What is it that I’m truly experiencing? What do these emotions tell me about myself? How much more can you understand and love yourself just by being curious?? . . . . I would love to know what you’ve learned from this. . . . #_letyourselffly #emotionsarereal #knowyourself #becurious #askquestions #notfortheweak #ittakestime #beaware #learntoloveyourself #selfacceptance #selfawareness #dontbeweak #emotionsarepowerful #bebetter #learnsomethingneweveryday #selflove #emotionalintelligence #imnotyou #dontbescared #fearless #fearisaliar #giveyourselfpermission (at Hillcrest, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Yrl_tgOdC/?igshid=1q57kjf0thld
