Fact- We’re imperfect. If you had your doubts about where you stood in life, well here it is- you’re not gonna be great at everything right from the start. Without a whole lot of effort, moments of self doubt and persistence it’s just too easy where fortunately or not, “easy” doesn’t last. It’s a little sh***y to say but sometimes it really does suck  to pursue the things you’re most passionate about. It can be a hard journey but then somewhere down, around, across the block and over the tracks you find incredible rewards. The journey continues, keep your eyes on the prize.

I find that it’s important in this process to allow yourself to get shook up, taken down, thrown around and messed with. Do not stop figuring out your next move, take a second to breathe and certainly do not give up. The sequence, the pattern is there, learn life’s lessons and I swear its just another one of those constant tests. It doesn’t hurt to have amazing people around to help guide you through the darkness. Accept any genuine help that comes your way, there’s no shame in not being able to do it alone.

If I retrace my own steps and break them down I can better see that there are just some things/people/places that had no place being a part of my every day. Those things threw me off, and even when I would desperately try to include them life had it’s way to slap me a quick reminder. Some wise men have said to me to “always trust your instincts”, we know more than we give ourselves credit. Try to follow what your heart and mind agree on and get into the right spaces and places.  Set up that next stage in life with brand new challenges to get you wondering and sweating like you did before. Build new familiar spots with positive minded people so that when the chaos surrounds you, you can always dip and balance things out.

Let’s get the “suck” out of here.
