CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY | Best Motivational Speeches For Success

don't stay down in the ashes use the pieces to build new things don't dwell on what hurts use the lessons to chart a course to happier days don't fixate on What's Missing there's an endless supply of what's not there instead Rejoice over and capitalize on what what remains don't take Misfortune personally remember that life is neutral it's you who has to decide whether to shrink in its shadow or grow because of it don't compare yourself to people around you we only see highlight reels we only see the best of our neighbors but they have their demons their problems their struggles too instead compare yourself to who you were yesterday that's the only worthwhile Benchmark don't exhaust time wishing you had someone else's gifts or natural abilities sure they have theirs but you have yours too explore and go all in on your unique superpowers cuz that's exactly what they are should you choose to bring them to life don't let the gravity of the moment keep you down you might feel lost or defeated but it's not always about feeling good sometimes it's whether or not we can move forward when we don't so step into that unknown knowing sure you might not be at your best but that lives are often Define during our imperfect moments don't waste energy on hope the future is a construct an idea that you have no control over and that will make you its slave if you allow it to see the value of right now right now you have the power to change adapt evolve to make things happen right now is all your will ever have to control build tear down Retreat Advance follow or lead everything is a choice life provides the components to go up or down left or right it's a Perpetual fork in the road endless opportunities but you are the architect you decide what they become before you can ever get to where you're [Music] going you have to decide to [Music] begin you have to acknowledge that what you're chasing means more to you than what you are leaving behind and then begins The Greatest Adventure you will ever experience knowing that you have turned someday into right now that the Road beneath you is waving you on the wind at your back it pushes you forward there are no guarantees in life but that just might be what makes it so incredible you'll only go as far as you allow your imagination to take you whether it's the end of your driveway or where the sun in the ocean [Music] [Laughter] [Music] intersect if you're lucky enough to be different don't let go I spend a lot of my time and energy energy exploring the power of perspective how our reality is determined by how we interpret what's in front of us how one person can look at one thing and see pain or a problem or a barrier and another person can look at that exact same thing and see opportunity or a future win or a bridge to something better and I think one of the best examples of this is how we perceive those qual qualities that make us unique those things that put us in a different category maybe we're a little hesitant to fully Embrace because they're not common and when it comes to that which separates us from everyone else well I believe we have a decision to make I'm going to go back to Robert Frost's fork in the road right he says two paths diverged in a wood I took the one least traveled by and that made all the difference on the surface you could easily brush this off as trivial it's like oh nice that's cute he took the path Less Traveled by but what does that mean as it turns out it means a lot it means instead of burying what makes him different he made it his Battle Cry instead of slipping under the radar and sneaking through life like so many of us do he signed the dotted line for the pain of being a beginner the struggle of being uncertain the discipline and sometimes torturous road that is turning a passion into excellent trading peace of mind for the pursuit of meaning in life exploring what makes you unique it takes courage and in that message he chooses courage because it's not just that you're alone taking that path means every step of the way your mind screams at you reminders that you're alone it's not just fighting traffic patterns it's fighting your DNA it's resisting that impulse to please sit down shut up and blend in so is it a trivial decision I'd say not really maybe even the most important decision you can make because I promise you it's not your commonality with those around you that will bring fulfillment that will leave a mark on your life and the world that surround you no it's that thing that's unequivocally you that's a little out there that's somewhat strange that you don't know why but it's gravitational force pulls and pulls p and pulls a tug of war where one side begs you to just relax conform do less begs you to never be laughed at or criticized to take the easy road then you have the other side poking prodding asking you hey yeah but what if what if you sacrific the comfort of right now what if you explored what if you took that which you love and you ran with it what if you worked for a delayed payday what if for a moment in time when people ask you what the plan is you have to look back and say you know what I'm not quite sure what I'm building but I'll keep pivoting until it's so clear you can see it from the moon those are the paths that pull us apart and every time I've lost my way it's because I've doubted my unique path and I mean that every time it's when I become impatient with the journey or look around and see someone else winning in a different Arena using different methods different strategies see the latest trends and success formulas hey man I want part of that right I'm human I want to win I want to succeed but just like a little opening is enough to let in the outside water that sinks the boat well a little bit of doubt is enough to derail your process a process that you have to believe in protect nurture a process that I've come to separate into two pieces number one believing that the exploration of that thing that makes you unique it's valuable that your abilities mean something they're not inconsequential they're not stupid or trivial or unnecessary if it means something to you it will most certainly mean something to others and you bringing it to life not only helps yourself evolve grow flourish it helps the world you just have to believe that enough to bring it to life that's number one number two trusting that as long as you don't stop in pursuit of your unique self you can't lose you can't lose and I don't mean continuing to ram a square peg into a round hole I mean growing learning experimenting seeing what works there's a saying that when you hit a dead end it's not that the goal or the dream should be abandoned it means the plan needs to be changed or adjusted and as you get better better and more experienc and continually work to adjust your strategy and your plans learn from your mistakes it becomes a matter of time you increase the odds with every step forward being different is the most precious thing afforded to you but to realize that Miracle requires a combination of both the mythical and the Practical the imaginary and the real dream that dream visualize that growth create a world out of those ideas that don't exist yet but also understand that the conversion process from dream to reality is a practical one it requires repetition learning losing adjusting and people don't like that it's much easier to blend in then spend years pushing through the agony of setting yourself apart but it's worth it and the evidence is so obvious so plainly pointing to the fact that we only celebrate the outcasts The Crazy Ones we sit around campfires listen to lectures watch movies and documentaries about the people that had every reason to doubt themselves but kept moving forward about the people who could have swept their unique abilities under the rug but instead use them as their foundation for everything not being distracted by what's popular or how anyone else lives or operates not seeking to be anyone but themselves knowing that that is enough knowing it's the seed to something precious the only question is will you provide the right conditions and nourishment for that little seed to grow will you do what so few people have the courage to do let their authentic selves shine through let who they are emerge Emerson has a quote he says to be yourself in a world that's constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment he goes on to say my life should be unique it should be an alms a battle a conquest a medicine and see Perpetual happiness is a Fool's errand no life is full of trials and tribulations and ups and downs but fulfillment comes from that quest for meaning for more for building something for creating your unique self a process a Pursuit that must be chiseled from Stone it's never given or provided it has to be found take it and as Emerson beautifully implies now is the time the question is what are you going to make with this once in a lifetime opportunity what will you make of the possibilities that only you know only you understand that only you can bring to life never doubt yourself or your gifts or the things that set you apart you don't need everyone else to believe in them you just need to convince yourself everything else it falls right into [Music] place [Music] that thing that gives you butterflies that lights you up that world you see when you close your eyes chase that with all of your soul Chase [Music] it it's easy to brush off life's potential it's just outside the realm of possibility to see the ideal as some form of window shopping that you can almost touch a fantasy to be explored when you sit back in your office chair or pass time in the doctor's office waiting room but I think these aspirations mean more than that not distractions but a North star not a diversion but the path and by the way I'm not naive about this Pursuit and all that it entails the truth behind it I'd never Advocate that what's possible or meant to be is somehow easy in fact I'd argue the only way something is meant to be is if you're willing to commit to the difficulty in bringing it to life otherwise it wasn't meant to be anything but a missed opportunity because it surely will be a difficult Road and here's what we come to learn everything of value is difficult you know and in an attempt to oversimplify I often break life down into the easy thing vers the difficult but meaningful thing and in some ways sure that's true but I can also honestly say it would have been more difficult for me to have stayed where I was not moved at all to not have pursued what I believed in it would have been more difficult thinking about that life I could have lived the doors that could have opened and that's just it life is about choosing your difficult the difficult you seek out intentionally or the difficult you come and let take control render you helpless and I think when we find ourselves in routines or we've built for ourselves a world you know we know we don't want to live in anymore or we've outgrown it's not that the current is real and the future is not it's that we somewhere along the way decided to face the wrong opponent some adversaries make us stronger they force us to be more to grow other adversaries or opponents they sit back and they let us defeat ourselves and that's what we don't want see when the world knocks you down you get to rise again wiser tougher stronger but when you keep yourself down well there's nothing to be gained from that those two opponents they are not the same I reference my speaking career because for me it's where that transformation is most evident it's Where it All Began my opponent was very much me avoiding opportun unties hiding from failure I didn't give life a chance to knock me down and so it didn't how could it I'd already placed myself in Chains and because of that guess what I stayed the same I couldn't evolve my ideal future was an idea that would briefly entertain me from time to time and move right on it wasn't until I Found the courage to switch my opponent from myself to the world I let life humble me I gave talks where I was nervous and had cold feet Keynotes where my delivery was mediocre at best where I barely got by but with these battles came metaphorical riches came that trust that had to be manufactured that confidence that had to be earned when I got out of my own way I was able to let the trials and tribulations of Life create a new foundation for me to stand on to redefine reality and the good news is that anyone can do that anyone can ask that question is something external in my way right now that I need to figure out that I need to solve or am I in my own way am I not even giving myself a shot have I settled for right now as truth when right now is just the less ideal difficult when I was little playing action figures with my buddy up the street we used to think was cool to see around corners to see through walls to know what was coming before it a rck right for action figures absolutely in superhero movies why not but in the journey through life you don't need to see around corners in fact it's counterproductive because it is the interaction with the unknown that matters it's adjusting amidst life's uncertainty that comes to make you who you are are transforms you and your reality as far as I'm concerned the only way to lose is to remain behind that corner peering out every now and then hoping to get some kind of advantage or shortcut willing to let life pass you by while you wait for the stars to align thinking that that vision of an ideal life will stroll along the sidewalk see you and reach out a hand that wait will be a long one unproductive and difficult more difficult than trusting yourself to face whatever lurks around that corner so remember that who you are is built and every time you do something a little bit scary or unsettling every time you wander a step or two outside of your comfort zone the reward is not just the short-term Triumph you feel as you leap frog that obstacle and carry on no you are investing in a new you a new reality you're investing in something changing before your very eyes putting a little marble in a jar that is your potential and you can't see it not now no one's going to announce it to you you might not even realize or understand until you look back years years down the road but those little acts of courage they matter more than you know they're not trivial and they are certainly not [Music] insignificant when that movie plays in your head and you think to yourself I wish or if only and the Delta between that image and the reality on the ground disappoints you gives you a little not in your stomach or dissatisfaction that floats around in your thoughts remember that that feeling is transferable that difficult can be exchanged for one that actually changes things you can get off the merrygoround and towards a new North Star difficult yes but we've seen the goal is not to avoid difficult it's to pick the the difficult that will transform your life it's to find meaning in a world that if you do not pay attention will paint your landscape with routine and obligation and today can certainly be a continuation of that script a box that's checked a calendar square with an X or it can be the beginning of something that gives you butterflies that like lights you up that brings you one step closer to the world you see when you close your [Music] [Music] eyes what if I told you that you already know what must be done you just need to put yourself in position to do [Music] it you need to unlearn the rules that crippled you the ideas that can can find you we are in constant pursuit of the thing that will magically write all our wrongs the answer that will give us something we've never had know everything you need you have now you just need to allow it to flourish declutter simplify remove all that unnecessary stuff and walk your path Einstein once said everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid and what's great about this is the idea that who we are is not found it's acknowledged it's accepted and I think in our world there are so many fish as Einstein says trying to climb trees that it creates a sense of learned helplessness we are judging ourselves using the wrong metrics equipped with the skills the characteristics and and the abilities to win in our own Arenas but playing in someone [Music] else's how loyal are you to your own instincts do you do what you know is right or what you feel obligated to pursue when was the last time you listened to you in Tim Grover's Relentless he introduces a brilliant metaphor he says a lion doesn't have to be taught to be a lion it just is it hunts runs roams explores lives life the only way it knows how now if you capture a lion bring it to the zoo or put it in a cage it will carry itself differently will lie down move move around lazily sluggishly navigate its little space to pass by they'd never know what that lion really is they'd never know what it looks like in its element but despite all this it is still in fact a lion it maintains that Killer Instinct his character istics haven't disappeared and if it were released from the cage it would go right back to doing what Lions do being what lions are meant to be it just has to ditch the cage and the point is perhaps so do you there's a little light in your soul that Waits day and night to explode into something meaningful where your nature meets your environment where the I shouldn't do this the odds are impossible the I'm not good enough I can't lose what I have now where all that Fades away where it's left behind you and you're finally free to Reign Over your own territory your own life your own Empire see we constantly feel like our glasses are empty like we're missing pieces in need of something just one more thing that will be our answer that's all we need and I can say with confidence it's not about what you need it's about what you no longer need it's about mitigating the noise so what matters can shine through removing those people in your life that drag you down or ADD no value it's about getting rid of the things that make your world unnecessarily complex removing the need for immediate validation success and accolades and instead embracing the little hinges in your life that is W Clement Stone said will ultimately swing the biggest doors we all have the lock the key and the map right there amidst the trivialities of our daytoday and we walk right by them look right at them we pick them up and put them down but have we learned to truly see them everything starts with that awareness and my life did not change until I recognized that until I began asking myself questions I'd never asked before big picture questions obvious questions but just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's always intuitive right what do I want out of life what is important to me what's something I love doing that I can dedicate myself to that I can commit to being great at long term that I'm so immersed in that when the inevitable down times arrive the losses when the doubt and in security Creeps in I can keep moving forward because I'm so in love with the process but I don't let the little things like that Define me as Jordan Peterson famously puts it choose your sacrifice a life of meaning isn't easy but there's nothing more fulfilling because when you Embark upon that Journey it allows for the evolution of this self we can become something more is n says those who have a why to live can bear almost any howow we equip ourselves for anything the universe can throw at us we position ourselves to evolve Victor Frankle says man's main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see meaning in in his life to align yourself with and pursue that which is your reason for living that's how we transcend the day-today life we've come to know when we breathe in possibility dance with the infinite and of course something of this magnitude it consists of ups and downs it's not the easy road but it's the one worth taking our metaphorical lion doesn't succeed every time he's prowling for food but he doesn't roll over and die he doesn't recede or quit being a lion he gets up tomorrow and does it again because it's who the lion is and well life doesn't unfold until you find that same thing for yourself and people say well I don't know that's the problem I have no idea that's not the problem that's the essence of life that's the beauty you're here to explore and find that for yourself but the power is knowing you're not looking for something or someone to save you you're looking for an environment in which you can best be you you're looking for the right terrain to share your gift with the world if you have what you need then you're not looking for the product you're looking for the delivery mechanism the vehicle to nurture and transport your value to a world that desperately needs it you're looking to build yourself up and in the process Amaze yourself look what you're capable of is beyond comprehension it's Limitless almost unfathomable but it is as Ryan holiday says a confidence that must be earned so start now earn it let yourself succeed your intuition knows what feels right and what doesn't but the seed must first be planted so make today about setting yourself up for Success turning off the idea that you're one piece away from completion one minute away from starting that you're almost ready no you are ready now you have what you need now you know what's necessary now you just have to be your your own Ally put yourself in position to be yourself let your value shine double down on what matters to you look it's not a game of acquisition it's a game of Courage do you have the courage to be who you are to follow that potential that possibility into the great [Music] unknown [Music] that to find ourselves requires we must first lose ourselves is I believe Life's greatest Paradox leaving that Carousel of comfort the predictability of what we know the certainty of who we believe ourselves to be for a promise with no real guarantee of being kept well it's nothing short of irrational are the odds in our favor perhaps not but by stepping off by placing our bets on a different track with a different prize at a different time we have increased those odds from zero to well I guess we decide and see the world teaches us that it's advantageous to [Music] spin a spinning Carell is predictable it can't be cheated there's very little room for loss or humiliation or setbacks or even life to get in the way you know where you start and you know where you end and that's just the thing this spinning world is so easy that people don't want to leave in fact it's not until you walk away from the crowd that you you even face the unknown and that's precisely why it's so hard to walk alone it's hard it's challenging because of the now not because the now can't be measured or understood no we get it but because there's this little whisper in the back of our heads that the now might go on and on and on forever that that check will never be cashed the summit never reached no just footsteps down a perpetually long windy road and that's you know when maybe just maybe we miss that Carousel we miss the Safety and Security and that's what sometimes makes it such a stressful thing to walk alone we think about all of ourselves our mind our heart we've left behind along the way truths we now have to face things they never taught us on that Carousel we had to learn that we were wrong about who'd be by our side through it all we could no longer hide behind the notion that when things got tough someday everyone everything would be there would be the [Music] same we learned to swim by jumping into the deep end seeing in real time that people only believe it already exists what's put in front of them that ideas are empty that a dream is a language only spoken by its creator and if you wanted to mean anything you must dedicate your life to translating it we learn how much is backwards how much of life is reactive that success is being one of the few who don't react but build a world to react too and in the thick of it all to internalize the process because talking well talking does nothing plans are just potential energy confined to your pocket you have to be okay growing that seed by yourself like a runner making her way past a crowd right the crowd sees calm sees peace sees the Finesse of an athlete Gliding Over the pavement they have no idea the war being fought behind her eyes the silencing of constant Whispers to slow down to to do less the repression of pain that consumes her to such an extent it can't even really be pinpointed it just kind of floats over her body they'll never know that and what we learn is that they don't need to it's the truth and see it's also what makes it quite lonely to walk alone walking alone well it's it's a lot of things but it's never boring it's never dull and if you can hang in there long enough without even noticing the head wind you've been fighting it becomes a tailwind and where we may have felt alone the idea pops into our heads that maybe that's not quite right if anything the wind that our back is now momentum it's a partner along the way that Carousel yeah it's still spinning but somewhere else some far off place beyond our field of vision and no things don't ever become easy we wouldn't want that but difficulty is interpreted differently now not a burden but a cost and one we'd gladly continue to pay and that space that once felt so empty so desolate so helpless well now it's made up of people who see what you see who hopped off their own carousels and wandered through the desert they too navigated through the impossible and the never been done it's funny how at some point we always find each other and I suppose now having traded the carousels for the adventure we can walk alone together us against the world standing up in defiance of the odd chasing that glimmer of hope all in on a pursuit to find what most won't and see what most can't not because we were made different but because we chase down the idea of different it gets a tough rap walking alone and in so many ways it's a fight it takes all of you but you don't come out the same person you were when you stepped in the same person you'd still be today had you stayed on that Carousel so so if you are still spinning step off and if you have if you're still adjusting to the discomfort of reality if you're making your way through the hell of uncertainty or questioning whether you have what it takes or have the strength to commit I promise you do in fact you're right where you need to be so don't be distracted Ed by those screaming of their successes or communicating capturing every small win as they make their way around the carousel it's the quiet ones who change themselves the ones who take life one step at a time one battle at a time who redefine reality and I'm sure you can't see it now no one can no one can see the sun amidst the storm but you'll emerge stronger than you ever were you will navigate towards the ideal and away from that life you once settled for it's a long path but it's worth it so get up and let your feet guide the way let's go walk [Music] [Music] alone I woke up last night and I remembered my debt to you being that I stand by the promises that I make I jumped out of bed and I walked over to my desk I turned on a light and I began writing at a minimum to explain myself but at best case scenario to provide some reassurance that every storm ends that nothing is forever and that someday without question I'll make you proud see things haven't been the easiest lately and it's funny sometimes things seem so intuitive sometimes they make so much sense and and sometimes it feels like you open up a novel right in the middle and it's in a language you can't read you know life feels more complex than it really is and I feel smaller than I really am but don't be concerned I fought my way through worse I promise you you'll be satisfied with the result and yeah you might have noticed that sometimes I face the Obstacle of of juggling two sets of Standards you know two definitions of success mine in the world what I love and what matters to me versus what will increase my status my standing in society and honestly it pulls me in two different directions sometimes makes me think back to years past and that that discomfort of experience you know standing on an empty Foundation but believing someday something meaningful would stand there realizing that when you put your head down and when you block out the noise you can finally hear the most powerful voice of all your own that's why you take L's in the short term to acquire meaning in the long term I've found that courage before and I'll find it again any second now don't you worry and sure you know you might have seen that every once in a while I forget about life's abundance I mean I just do I know it's true but it feels sometimes like the world pushes me to Forget You know I start comparing myself to other people and I start thinking about what I could lose what people might say about what could go wrong it's like sure I know I'm the gatekeeper to my own mind I understand that in fact I cherish the idea but I guess sometimes doubt catches that gatekeeper napping and slips through I always catch him eventually though I've had doubts before and really all I did was keep moving by them kind of like that time I went snorkeling in kilargo you had to make your way through this jellyfish field to see an underwater statue my first thought was this is crazy but then you move in and you realize they just exist they don't have control or an agenda and if you find the courage they become meaningless you you can float right by them so don't worry I'll swim through and you'll see me on the other end and I will catch that view not for Facebook or for Instagram because in a way I owe it to myself and I owe it to you I didn't make these promises to run when things got challenging I made them because they meant something and yeah from the outside in things are not perfect I get that I understand but if you just hang tight if you just remember that I've been there before I've climbed out I've come back in fact the deeper the valley and the darker the night the clearer the answer always becomes when I emerge and it may be a journey but however long it takes I've gotten there and I have to admit yeah it feels funny writing a letter to myself but I need you now more than ever you've always been my toughest critic and I appreciate that but now I need you to be my biggest fan to remind me that life can be confusing and seemingly contradictory uncertain and even chaotic but that doesn't mean I'm not right where I need to be right where we need to be and if you'll just believe in me if you'll hop along for this ride you'll see that as sure as I'm sitting here writing to you now I will make you [Music] proud [Music] one of life's greatest lessons is that yesterday is only as powerful as we allow it to be yesterday is an idea a story a movie that started and ended now it's quite possible that story or that ending is disappointing or it hurts to look back on perhaps a reminder of something that wasn't ideal something you want to break away from so the question is why do we give that old story power why do we relive it create create this self-inflicted wound see the past undoubtedly played a critical role it brought you to where you are now it in many ways shaped your world viw constitutes your beliefs it was the very road to this moment and there's value in that but imagine this scenario imagine stepping into your car turning the keys and thinking to yourself that you can in this very moment only drive down the roads you drove on yesterday only associate with the street signs you know the places you've already gone your reality now is determined by what you've already done so adjust and get used to it you would say that's outrageous right yesterday's path has nothing to do with where I'm going now just like a boat's wake trailing off behind it has nothing to do with where it's going now next the person holding the wheel controls that we are saturated with freedom there is so much opportunity and possibility and potential in front of us that we fail to see because we can't stop thinking about that fictitious story we call yesterday we confuse the path we took then for the one we need now the Wake from the steering wheel what is and that story about what was the gateway to change is unshackling ourselves from those imaginary monsters and more often than not the answer isn't in finding some solution it's in cutting ties with those things that no longer serve us then we see the world as it truly is then we see the magic laid out before us and I get that it's easier said than done leaving a part of us behind hurts looking in the mirror and being vulnerable enough to say I can be more than this it's not easy but it's possible and everything starts with how we see ourselves and when we remain captives to the past everything about who we think ourselves to be is outdated we're neglecting one of our super Powers the Perpetual ability to restart one of the most important conversations I've ever had was on this topic seemed trivial at the time but I was having lunch with a friend and we're talking and I mentioned to her that I was full and she goes well then why are you still eating and I'm like cuz I paid for it right I wanted to get my money's worth and she says in a very you know pragmatic way Eddie just cuz you paid for it doesn't mean you need to eat it right it's a sunk cost why don't you move on and the whole thing seems silly right it's like yeah if you're not hungry don't eat move on but in the grand scheme of things how many of us keep on consuming that which doesn't serve us how many of us stay too long when we should be letting go we let the path behind us dictate the one before us see there's a tendency to overvalue what we know to feel so invested in how things are even when we're not happy or it's not healthy that we'll take the pain of now over the potential for something greater and that's precisely why the unknown is so terrifying it's not concrete it's a world unsettled and man do we hate being unsettled but what we failed to realize is that every time we close our eyes take a breath and work up the courage to step into that unknown to leave yesterday behind us life gives us new pieces it resets the stage it provides new tools to build something incredible something more ideal more conducive to our goals our hopes and our dreams and the thought is well but but what what if things become worse than they are right now what if I move forward and I find myself more confused more lost what if things are are more chaotic and that may for a moment be true but what we do is we adjust we learn things we never knew we see things through a lens that we never could touch things that we never thought existed they it wasn't in staying but in leaving that we rediscovered who we were meant to be that we allowed our truest selves to flourish in worst case scenario contrary to popular belief it's not that the world ends no the worst case scenario should you find the courage to move forward is that you end up right back where you started a little more confident a little Bolder and better prepared to live this life like you never had all that's needed is for you to convince yourself that there is more you just need to taste the fruit step into the sunlight that's the difference between reality and the story in your head reality is that this world has for you everything you need to change to grow explore build a life that means something it has the support structures and the resources for you to pull yourself back up every time you fall to say okay that hurt but now let's try a different angle there is undoubtedly what you need and the question is never whether the X on that treasure map exists trust me it's there the question is whether you can pause that story in your head the tales of a dark mean and scary world trying to hold you down pause the idea that you're nothing more than the you of yesterday you're nothing more than how people knew you to be pause the idea that you're nothing without that job title or that relationship pause the idea that you need him or her or them in your life every day you wake up you are a blank canvas who cares about yesterday what do you want to paint now when you walk out your front door or where do you want to go now step outside that Circle of familiarity see how artificial and in some cases ridiculous these boundaries are that we place around ourselves life is an invitation not a set of requirements and when you free yourself of that not only will you feel like someone new not only will you experience life as it was meant to be experienced but you'll see that this world will conform to your new definition this world wants to support you it wants to lift you up and yeah it may be challenging and strenuous it may force you to work harder and be braver than you've ever been but it is at the end of the day you're Ally you just have to see your future self before it materializes when no one else gets it so move on from all that does not serve you break away from the old rules regulations and guidelines maybe you exhausted time and energy into creating this reality maybe it feels like a Monumental piece of your identity maybe right now is the only security you have fine but my hope is that you can respect it and walk away see it as the sunken cost that it is just because you paid to get there doesn't mean you need to keep paying to make wrong decisions just because it took your time doesn't mean it's entitled to keep stealing your time just because it's part of your identity now doesn't mean it must be tomorrow just because it create security doesn't mean it's right jails and steel bars are also incredibly secure no today we are breaking free leaving the past in the past and setting our sights on the horizon today is the end of yesterday and the beginning of the the rest of your life
