The story you are telling yourself is what makes things hard.
You are always the one who is holding you back.
When life feels hard, or easy it is because your narrate is making it that way.
I often find myself telling a story about “shoulds”.
I should be feeling this way… I should be doing this thing…. I should be saying that.
And when life doesn’t match with the should’s I’m telling, I suffer.
I start to beat myself up and doubt what I’m doing.
But here is the thing – and its the thing I’m working through right now… life is whatever you make it. It doesn’t have to be the way you think it does. As a matter of fact, the way you think it has to be is just prior conditioning.
Life works out.
What holds you back is you.
Just for today, allow yourself to flow with life.
Don’t take yourself too seriously but take others seriously.
What matters is that you contribute, that you care, and that you do your part to make the world a better place.
What can you do today that achieves that?
