People wear mask 😷 they cover up their past but they can’t do that because they come to face themselves chasing them back.

This is my platform, this is my escape, this is my safe area. This page is to help one another and potentially help the world but it is also to help myself have a better understanding of who I am and what I believe I can achieve. You see I want to motivate, I want to inspire, I want to teach, I want people to be able to connect with one another. I want everyone to simply be okay with who they are but also strive to be the best version of themselves. But you see these are just my wants. I sometimes want it more for a person than they want it for themselves regardless of if I know “we are the only ones that can change our destiny” I like to believe I walk a righteous path and have a clear concept of what it is I’m doing. I use my knowledge and love and every other part of me to wake up everyday with the curiosity of a child, I want to learn as much as I can so if someone asks me a question weather it serious or not I have an answer for them.
I know that may sound radical and if not impossible but regardless my thoughts remain the same. I’m fascinated by people, all the potential we have within us, and all the little parts that we actually use......I could go on an on about this but I’ll leave it for now.
Everyday we are faced with a new obstacle to overcome and everyday we find a way to do so. How remarkable is that?
Seriously!!......sometimes the smallest obstacle can have the biggest impact, But we take them for granted we are geniuses to some and not the brightest to others, but it’s about what we present what do we share on the surface?? What do you want people to see? And why?
See even that I know the answer. I’m no genius I’m just a hardworker that refuses to give up. Although to others I am perceived a number of different ways, but it all comes down to what I let them see.
All these thoughts that run through my head are but a portion of what I actually say not of fear but of an underlying tone of not being taken seriously, so sometimes it is easier to remain quite An scout your environment.
This may be the most open thing I have ever wrote, and it may be the most confusing, but to me it makes perfect sense
I don’t know particularly why I’m choosing to write this! All I know is that I feel a form of balance within myself and I feel like I can finally speak my mind on a social platform instead of writing in my book......for that contains my strategies I use to conquer my own life, and I can’t wait until I can finally share it with the world, in hopes that someone anyone can incorporate them into their own life also.
I love this world. And even though sometimes it can be fearful we as human beings need to go back in time and learn to be fearless. Anyone reading this think of where u want to be and I’m sure if you want it bad enough you will have it.
Make this life fun for yourself and learn to face fear and rise, but also keep that curiosity that we had as a child! Don’t let things keep you down. always.....ALWAYS!! get back up!
I was on a boat in the middle of the ocean in Belize. You couldn’t see land in either direction. The locals were throwing chum in the water. After a few minutes ten sharks had the boat surrounded. Then they looked at me and said the unthinkable, “jump in!”.
I paused and said, “fuck that! You jump in!”
They all laughed and then one of them, dove in head first over the sharks.
I gulped, took a deep breath and dove in after him.
My typical reaction to things outside of my comfort zone, is to say “fuck that”.
I can’t imagine all the things I would have missed out on if I didn’t push through my fear on a daily basis.
I definitely wouldn’t be writing this, staring at the blue water with Greek Islands as my backdrop.
This is what I believe FEAR really means:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
Think about this. How is it possible that two people can look at the same situation differently?
How can one person skydive, bungee jump, go approach a member of the opposite sex, take a risk and start a business, follow their dreams and the other person can’t.
The answer is perception.
Our circumstances really don’t matter. The only thing that matters is how we perceive the events that are happening.
Our brains have a survival instinct that makes us want to feel safe. It’s evolved tremendously from the days of telling us fire is hot, don’t touch!
Now our survival instinct wants to keep us trapped in jobs we hate. Relationships that aren’t right for us. It keeps us in our comfort zone. It keeps us “safe”.
Away from risk, from adventure, from truly living life.
My biggest fear was being myself around other people. For the first 25 years of my life I was extremely uncomfortable in my own skin and I didn’t like who I was.
My survival instinct told me to isolate. It told me I wasn’t good enough. It told me to not go after anything worth while because I would fail.
Being myself was a crippling fear I had.
I now love the person I am. I’m traveling the world by myself. Meeting all types of different people. I am writing genuine thoughts for other people to read. I am being who I really am.
My fear that I once had is gone. I now realize I only had that fear because I told myself over and over again that I had to be afraid.
FEAR is bull shit, it isn’t real.
When we think about going after that job we really want, starting a business, asking that girl out, jumping out of that plane, following your true passion, not caring what people think, getting out of your comfort zone, loving yourself, and in my case quitting your job, selling everything, and traveling the world and that fear arises, we can look at it and laugh.
Because we know there is no basis for that fear. If one person has done it before you, then you can also do it.
Do not let your head tell you otherwise.
Do not put limitations on yourself or this beautiful life we GET to live.
Do not let fear hold you back from what you truly want to do.
Because there is no better feeling than looking fear in the face and pushing it to the side!
“Twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the things you did.”
"When fear whispers 'what if you fail?', whisper back 'what if I fly?'. You've survived every doubt before. This time won't be different." – AndEl @crystalwind #FaceFear #YouCanFly
