It’s Time To Change Your Fucking Life, Everything You Need Is Already Inside Of You

I get it, you know. I really do. I get that change is hard and scary sometimes and I get that you never feel ready to make a move or a change.

I get that risk is intimidating and that the future can feel like an uncertain unknown to fear and fret about.

I get that there are so many things to consider, or think about.

I get there are pros and cons, and I get there has been pain and trauma and that there likely will be more.

I get all of that.

I just don’t give a shit.

I genuinely don’t care about your self-imposed limiting beliefs. I don’t care about your excuses. I really don’t. Because those thoughts and beliefs ARE NOT THE REAL YOU. They are bullies you have yet to stand up to and they are trespassers you’ve yet to remove.

All of those reasons that you just KNOW to be true, and all of those things you just KNOW that explain why it’ll never work out or get better or improve?

Guess what?

You might be wrong.

You might be wrong and you might be right where you need to be right now. You might be EXACTLY where you need to be to start something huge today, to turn a corner, to see silver linings and find faith in the pain you’ve been drowning in.

All of those horrible experiences you’ve suffered and the terrible friendships and the heartache and all those times when life decided not to work out and kicked you when you were down… guess what?

YOU’RE STILL HERE RIGHT NOW.

You survived. You made it through. And yeah, maybe you’re still a little bit messed up, and maybe you’ve got some shit to work through, and maybe you’re not the absolute best version of yourself right now, and maybe you’re a bit sad or embarrassed about that, and maybe you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, but you made it through the darkness and you survived and you are strong and resilient and brave and amazing and YOU ARE ENOUGH.

You are so fucking enough.

Read that sentence again.

When you burn a forest down, guess what? It grows back, and amidst the blackness and death arrives bright life. Those green little saplings that peek through the dirt, look around, and say, “Hot damn, have a look at this wonderful world!”, those new little bastards popping up through the soil, they don’t give a shit about the trees that used to be there. They’re concerned with growing towards the light. PERIOD. And it’s a whole lot easier for them to do that when there are not big, old, dull trees hanging over them blocking all the sunshine. Just because you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean it’s not there. THE SUN IS ALWAYS OUT SOMEWHERE.

So burn the damn thing down. All of it. All of the beliefs that no longer serve you. All of the people in your life who don’t believe in you or support you or want the best for you. All of the memories that hold you down and back.

BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND AND START AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

Strike the match that sets your soul on fire and don’t look back. Because you are worth it.

Pep talk over.

Go change your fucking life.
