FRIDAY THOUGHTS #52: EXCITEMENT

Excitement.

That's the main emotion I have about the next couple of months and couple of years. That's it. It's been a long journey to get to this place, things are not perfectly smooth of course...the woods are not completely cleared at all but the progress is very encouraging. Of course things won't be perfect but each month the process and journey becomes a bit more clear.

I was just talking to my brother earlier and we just talked about where we've been at the start of the year or even last year and...where we are now. We've had some huge lows...I mean, the bottom fell out of just about everything: except my company, my sanity and my work ethic. The bottom fell out of everything else, however, to see things build back again is a peaceful feeling. During that process when the bottom fell out and to now see it build itself back...it's just encouraging how much faith that gave me. When you hit a proverbial "rock bottom" in life and you see how God/The Universe has built things back to what they are currently, it's impossible to not have a massively increased belief in the process. I had loads of faith before...this has just exponentially increased it.

Having "nothing" and seeing multiply and to even have more of an understanding of why things happened is one of the best feelings - if I meditate on it, I literally could get emotional. I'm very thankful. If it wasn't for me doing the work: meditation, affirmations, visualization, reading, etc. I'm pretty sure I would of thrown in the towel or heck, I wouldn't even want to know what type of medications I'd be on to simply make it through a day. The "work" saved my life...it kept me sane. The work didn't just help me survive, it helped me thrive in situations that other people would fall apart in.

I truly feel that there is no situation that I can endure that I won't take full advantage and grow from. Nothing. Put it in front of me and I'll motherfucking climb it...facts. Put an obstacle in front of me and I promise you I'll make it my footstool. Listen, I know who I am...who's I am. The worst thing you can do to someone who knows who they are...is do something to someone who knows they are, because they will always use that stone thrown against them to build a foundation for the purpose-driven house they were always meant to live-in.

Every obstacle I endure will always be a blessing in my life because I've taken the time to understand and reprogram my heart to accept the truth of that principle. This is simply a fundamental principle of life...it is part of the organized chaos of life. Obstacles are opportunities and our job is to take advantage of all of them.

I'm excited. I feel like the worst has already past...if not, I will be ready for more of whatever is needed. With open arms I will drink my cup...it's necessary.

No matter where you are in your journey, take a step back and focus on how far you've come. I know, I know...you may still have a LONG way to go, but I want you to focus on how far you've come and I want you to focus on what is to come.

Get excited. You deserve it.  Stay consistent and continue doing the work. You're doing the work and the work makes all of the difference. Be well and #keepgoing champions. 👊🏾
