Let's jump in.

Today I'll be discussing FINDING YOUR PATH.

FINDING YOUR PATH

This is always going to be a trending topic.

People are often lost.

It doesn't matter what journey you're on it's going to be full of ups and downs.

If we are aiming for improvement we are constantly facing challenges.

Dealing with challenges can take us off center.

It can make it hard for us to continue progressing.

Many times we can get a few steps back and the feeling of defeat comes in.

That frequent battle with discouragement.

But that's it. One heck of a rollercoaster ride.

Most people don't have it easy.

We are finding ways how to keep pushing.

We have our reasons why are we continuing to fight.

Finding who we are and what works for us is a long process.

Battling impatience is not the easiest task.

Oftentimes we want to see results here and now. Fortunately for us, that's not how the game goes.

We have to gain experience step by step. Getting used to the fact everything worthwhile takes time is a must if we want to stay in touch with reality.

We have to aim to be in constant touch with what is true or we won't be able to get better.

Finding our path requires a lot of thinking and acting in our own way. And that's always tough.

On a day to day basis we have to try to escape that cocoon of limits we are trapped in.

It's frightening because we are often scared of the consequences. We are attacked by assumptions in our heads.

Things aren't as we imagine them to be. And even if something "bad" happens we'll grow from it. Nothing is fatal.

We have been limited by our environment while growing up, plus we also, with time, participated in establishing limits for ourselves.

It depends on multiple factors how long waking up will take. But the most important one is how courageous we are in overcoming limiting beliefs.

How fast are we willing to act towards new heights and unexplored areas.

Something we need to understand is we can make things harder for ourselves when we compare to others.

It's ok to use their progress as motivation but we have to understand we have our own perspectives, perceptions, and goals in life.

The game is different for each one of us and that's the beauty of it.

This shows how many layers this existence of ours offers.

We tend to be confident in our ignorance often but we know nothing, to be honest.

Getting humbled is a good thing. It is here to put us in our place.

We have to be thankful for such an experience.

Life is full of surprises, to say the least.

It's way weirder than we can imagine.

But to be able to find our path we need to go after different experiences.

No one else can tell us how we should live our lives.

It is our responsibility to put ourselves out there and explore the possibilities.

Nothing is more beautiful than creating a unique story.

No one can take that away from you. Isn't that amazing?

It's hard to understand this until we put ourselves in that position.

That whole journey consists of overcoming different sorts of barriers.

First of all mental then everything else.

It all starts with our heads.

Get used to the fact life is not easy. It is supposed to be hard.

Life is a battlefield. That's how it's gonna stay until we disappear from this realm.

Accepting this makes many things more digestible.

There's no hiding on this road. We have to stay open.

And this is where we win!

Sarah Larsen @FearlessLarsen Your brain is a sieve that holds onto the things you focus on. If you're always anxious, you're training your mind to seek out threatening experiences. Instead, look for the positive and your brain's gatekeeper will let more of that in. Fill that Rx for rose-coloured glasses. April 15th 2023 1 Retweets 6 Likes
