Note to self: 31
A new season is upon me, I'm officially finished in my previous role. It's making me reflect a lot about how our comfort zone is always trying to keep us safe, but ultimately holds us back from living a truly fulfilling life. The acknowledgment that if we are indeed going to change, there will 100% be many moments of fear, anxiety and doubt.
Understanding that feeling those emotions is a REQUIREMENT of growth.
This epic graphic summarises this idea perfectly.
If we want to do anything great (by our own definition) then stress and "negative" emotion is part of the process. Hearing people that are winning big time talk about this really makes me understand the nature of success aye... fuck, It's going to be hard, fuck, I accept.
I recently heard an amazing business woman Leila Hormozi talk about how she had chosen to go down that path "knowing that I was going to feel stressed" and that
So rather than feeling stressed or anxious about the thing, then being stressed and anxious about that fact your stressed an anxious. It's like, ok... I will feel stressed an anxious, It's part of the process, I accept.
Warrior's Spirit
Knowing that fear is a prerequisite to success, why would you try?
I think this is where the masculine archetype is essential to be called upon, the Warrior's Spirit. To radically accept the journey ahead, to pick up your sword and run full speed into battle.
Yeah I get it, It's an extreme view of running into battle. But for me It's true that whenever I embrace the masculine courage, the anxiety then becomes a part of the game, a part of the challenge and that I should be feeling this and that this is the way it goes. It will be hard.
And with that, heres one of my favourite graphics:
Now let me clarify before I'm labeled a toxic man 😂 I'm talking in the context of the masculine archetype and the warrior's spirit. The cycles continue and we must be strong to make it through hard times whether you are a man or woman... To reach a growth cycle it will be hard.
Summon the Warrior inside of you and run after your dreams!
Lets get Every Last Drop from life! You will die.
Much love x
