What is wrong with you?

Why are you letting others, your environment, the stories you see, and the wishes you pray for dictate the course your mind decides to take?

They said it would be hard.

But you didn´t know what hard would feel like.

In fact no one knows.

We need to experience those harsh times for us to have that “AHA!” moment and realize sometimes things might just be upside down the whole time.

If your friends laugh about any idea you come up with for your future if your surroundings aren´t making it easy for you to stick to your goals and make up for that progress you wish you could have… you are probably in the right place.

Great things aren´t the most available option to look for outside.

They don´t sell “amazing lifestyles”, “freedom” or “growth & success” online.

Those are things we need to show up and put in the work for.

They don´t come in handy to us.

And that´s okay. It´s also okay to look around for help, to look around and ask:

Is this the way I should go?

Is this the right direction I want to take?

It´s okay to shout your doubt to the world and feel what the hardcore level feels like in that moment of your life.

The key to the doors you´d want to open relies there:

On the fact that you did get up.

You´ll open the doors that were made for you and that you put up the work for the dream of opening when you realize that you fail at not letting yourself mess up things a little bit.

Most people let go on everything they wanted because it simply wasn´t the “right” level of difficulty. Turn around and watch them say: “It´s not made for everyone”.

Of course, it´s not made for everyone.

It´s made for the ones who can work to obtain the key to the door they longed for.

The difficulty of your path is in fact defined by yourself.

By your ability to overcome challenges.

And heck, you don´t even need to overcome them in the first place: you´ll get there soon.

You start by understanding them and adapting to their needs, to their harsh impulse of slowing you down.

This is the turning point for you: are you ready to let go of your sense of difficulty? Will you accept to slow down if required but not quit?

Choice is yours. And let me tell you, this question hasn´t the “right” level of difficulty. Shall you begin?

Peace,
