A Piece of Advice Handed Out For Free.

Have you ever gone through something so traumatic you didn’t recognize yourself on the other end of it?

Yeah me too….

Then you stumble through life wondering what you can do to recognize that reflection in the mirror.

Everywhere you search for answers you see #heal… but how?

Therapy..? Journaling..? An evening alone with nature..? Why is it that common sources used for gathering information in this era, i.e. social media, always boasts about a perfect way to go about healing.. and why does it always involve doing something alone?

Is it possible to heal together? Unpopular belief: I’ve only seen one racial ethnic group take pride in doing everything alone… I’ll let you ponder on that one.

Now, while it may be responsible and respectful to take time alone, we were never meant to go through any stage of life alone. Find you a tribe, or maybe just one person, that will go on this life journey with you and heal alongside you through each stage.

Another piece of advice handed out for free

One question. How do you expect to grow if you never move outside of your comfort zone?

Second question. How do you expect to get better if you never do anything that challenges you?

Answer. You can’t.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news (I am not), however, just sitting there thinking about the goals you want to accomplish will not get you any closer to achieving them. It’s time to that spot in your house, at a coffee shop, or maybe a field of grass and put pen to paper. It’s time to put hands on keyboards and start strategizing. Even if you just get as far as writing down those goals, you’re one step closer to the finish line.

That safely brings me to my second point.

Appreciate the journey that it takes to accomplish your goals. Yes it may be long, yes it may be tiring, and it might even break you down a little. But it’ll be worth it once you get there. Everything is hard before it is easy and nobody was born an expert. Just a little motivation as a reminder that you have what you need to get to where you want to go, so get started!
