Warning: Some tough love today.  But it’s love with all my heart.

When you were born you were a blank slate. Pretty much.  There was nothing there other than the essence of who you are as an individual. Your primary identity. What makes you you. No subconscious rules to obey. No fear of embarrassment, ridicule, failure.   You were the pure essence of you.

But as you got older, not by much, your parents told you to “stop doing that”. Your teachers made you walk in single file. In fact they ran your school like a military prison. You had to even ask to pee FFS.  Subconsciously you placed all of these limitations around yourself.

You were the creator of these limitations.  Of that there is no doubt.

In other words: You created your own reality.

But you were a kid. Don’t beat yourself up about it!  You didn’t know that you had a choice to believe what you wanted to believe. You didn’t realize you had another way.

Now, as an adult, there’s no excuse! You do not have to live in world limited by your own thoughts. Or dreams.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE

Believe it or not we can choose what to think. We can choose what to believe.  We are able to choose what is important to us and what is worth focusing our attention on.  These are what make us what and who we are. These are what make our reality. Our own little world.

• If you think you are a failure, you are.
• If you believe you are stuck in your job, you are.
• If you think you’ll always be poor, you will be.

You may think this sound simplistic. That’s because IT IS!

Take a moment. Ok.

Truth. IT’S TIME TO GET REAL WITH YOURSELF.

• What excuse have you used that you didn’t get that project done?
• Whose fault is it that you are in a job you hate?
• Who’s making you stay in that shitty relationship?

You can’t help it? Can you explain to me why it’s not your fault?

You need to be brutally honest with yourself.  And I know it ain’t easy.  But this needs to be done NOW!

Take a big breath:

FACT:  There is no external force making you think or feel anything.  It is your choice how you react and think. And if there’s something that you are unhappy about now then it is because you are letting it be that way. You are not doing anything about it. Because that is the easy thing to do.  You are choosing unhappiness because it is easy!

BUT THIS IS YOUR LIFE! YOU’VE ONLY GOT ONE. MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!

Own your fears. Own your actions. Take ownership over your limitations.

Throw out the shit that doesn’t serve you anymore. Nourish everything that empowers you.

What will you create today? What about tomorrow? Are you going to create misery, or are you going to create joy, excitement, and unlimited potential?

It’s your choice.

Choose wisely and with full knowledge that the consequences are all on you.
