This past week, the motivation has been to take action. To optimize your work time. To construct goals and take the steps necessary to accomplish them. I am a perfectionist, or at least that is my excuse for not wanting to take action. I want everything to be perfect before I show it to the world. I’ve always grown up with an identity crisis of having to always present a front that is calm, composed, and completely in control... but life isn’t like that. Oftentimes, the vulnerability is where the magic happens. When we risk it and throw ourselves into the fire, or jump into the proverbial deep end, we are forced to grow and change and learn. We were made to adapt, survive, and even thrive in settings of uncertainty, and life is really about thrusting into the unknown and enjoying who we become on the other side. I’m reminded of the #reidhoffman quote, “#Entrepreneurship is often like jumping off a cliff and assembling the plane on the way down.” Life is like that. It is about embracing fear, overcoming it, and allowing the answers to come on the journey. I’m reminded of the scene from the Dark Knight Rises, where Bruce Wayne leaps to the stone overhang to climb out of the Pit (video attached). He attempts several times with a safety rope, but it isn’t until he faces the fear of death, by jumping without the rope, that he is able to overcome his imprisonment. I am guilty of holding onto the thoughts and opinions of others, but these will always hold us down. It isn’t until we stop giving a f*ck (the rope that secures is) that we will be successful and pursue our dreams. The purpose of the Instagram page and the website is to empower an industry to become visionaries, to encourage them to take action, and to embrace the challenges of big dreams, even if that dream is to radically shape an industry that is starving for change. And we will do that by providing and directing you to resources that have revolutionized my life and the lives of others, starting with the book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. Follow along with the podcast links, YouTube videos, and audiobooks, and I promise your life will be changed!
