Most of my content is based on me finding different ways to deliver you guys the same core principles that I’ve found to be the biggest factors to success .. and by now, you know when I say “success,” I’m talking about being happy and content, not having tons of money or “stuff.”
Even after all these years of content, I still get so many of the same problems expressed to me over Instagram DMs, emails, comments on TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc… and I’ll continue doing my best to answer them if I can help even just one person reading this!
If you’re feeling lost… patience.
I push patience because I know life is long. Everybody around here is running around like it’s not. 24 year-olds running around like it ends tomorrow… like they need it now. What’s wrong with being 26 or 41 or 73? Most of you reading this have a lot of time left ahead of you. Take the pressure off and enjoy the process of getting “there.”
If you’re dealing with haters… empathy.
This one is tough for so many .. A lot of the time, people on the receiving end of negative comments or hate react from a place of triggered anger. In reality, darkness doesn’t need more darkness – it needs compassion. I’m very capable of dealing with negativity because I come at it from a place of empathy. Once you realize the “hate” has nothing to do with you, it’s easier to deploy understanding and combat that hate with love.
If you don’t know what you want… curiosity.
You’re not “stuck,” you just haven’t found that thing that you love doing .. which probably just means you haven’t tried enough shit! Get out there, go taste things, travel, start a vlog .. It’s curiosity that’s missing from so many of your tool belts … too many of you don’t respond “maybe” to new things you hear 👂 … you’re in the “No” game when in reality, you should always be in the “maybe” game .. please make curiosity a bigger part of your life ❣️
If you want more… gratitude.
Let there be no confusion… I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with having goals or wanting things.. But make sure you’re coming from a perspective of gratitude first. If you “want” so much that you can’t even see the amazing position you’re in right now, it means your lack of gratitude is a huge vulnerability. At the end of the day, you can be grateful for what you have andstrive for more .. but if you leave out part one, you won’t have the “happy fuel ⛽️” to get to part 2.
If you need more reminders, please go read the comments on this post. So many thoughtful contributions and stories there from the community ❤️
I hope this brings you some clarity today, or at least a little joy .. and hope this week is one of the best weeks of your life!
