When you chase approval, you will find insecurity & dependence. When you chase control, you will find exhaustion & confusion.
When you surrender to authenticity, you will receive peace & prosperity.
I choose “fruits of my labor” over “give me my flowers” any day.
One is on me while the other implies waiting on the approval of others. One multiplies (seeds) while the other literally withers and dies shortly after receiving.
Yea… keep the flowers. I’ll take the fruits.
If “they” paint you as a villain for being confident due to their insecurities and unwillingness to evolve, then you might as well strike a glorious pose.
Where there’s risk, there’s opportunity.
Opportunity for growth. Personal, communal, financial, social, networking, relationships, etc.
It all makes sense in the end.
Stop looking for an EASY route.
Spoiler alert: It doesn’t exist.
You’re either going to experience the BURDEN of performance, or you’ll experience the BURDEN of regret.
Choose your BURDEN wisely.
The energy you [predominantly] hold internally projects out into your external experience.
Feel unworthy?
Reality shows you evidence.
Feel poor?
Reality shows you evidence.
Feel confident?
Reality shows you evidence.
Feel rich?
Reality shows you evidence.

You’re not seeing results from your physical effort because you skipped the first 2 phases.

The moments you [genuinely] don’t feel like it, but still handled business, are the moments you’ll look back on and thank yourself. These are crucial points in the journey. Keep going!
Water comes to land.
Land provides space & direction for the water.
Free flowing water with no direction is a disaster. A landslide. A tsunami. A flood.
Don’t hate the Game; adjust your Frame.
Dating tip for men: ⬇️
Stop asking for her number.
Give her yours and tell her to hit you up.
Stop asking for a date.
Declare a time, place, & dress code.
If she follows, lead as a Gentleman.
If she doesn’t, get another woman.
The signs are ALWAYS there. You just thought you were bigger than the program. That your case would be “different” somehow.
Tell yourself the truth.
You knew better.
