My Journal Entry... "I think we are always seeking to feel proud of ourselves..."

Hey

Here’s part of a journal entry from Friday, 28th July 2023 - 07:19am - flight to Gold Coast - first leg of my 9 week trip. I wanted to share this with you ✍🏼

The sun is rising over the wing of the plane, I am now ready. I am ready for commitment, all in on MAMC, all in on listening and sharpening my intuition, all in on trust and the alchemist way of life. I get it now. I am rejuvenated, joyful, soulful, connected, loved, open, abundant and worthy of magic.

Instead of thinking about what you’d lose if you were to do something, think about what you’re to gain. Freedom, wealth, alignment, purpose, flow, trust - the regulation and cognition to take “great risk” which essentially equates to courage, not void of fear but in spite of fear. You do it anyway, even when you’re scared out of your mind.

The thing is, you don’t usually ‘commit the act’ take the leap or plunge on in when you are a fearful wreck, you do it when there’s no choice but to, typically after the storm inside of you has passed and you realise that it would be far more painful to stay. So you go, like all the other humans before you have gone, into the great unknown, into the places that scare you, into that cave you fear to enter, all the while knowing the treasure that you seek (peace, trust, ease) is only ever on the other side of that messy action, that courage, that first step.

I think we are always seeking to feel proud of ourselves, searching for a knowing, an invisible pat on the back that we are doing enough so then we can be enough. I think being born gives you the right to a baseline enoughness.

You are here, wanted, desired and loved. Self actualisation looks like surpassing that baseline to a sense of oneness, a sense of way more than enough, a sense of true authentic confidence because as Alex Hormozi says, “you have created stacks on stacks on stacks of undeniable evidence that you are who you say you are”.

“Someone trying to be the thing they are not, meets the person with the thing that they want and that person innately knows that they don’t have said thing, yet.”

Because said thing is a part of who you are, it is embodied, it is “undeniable”. You know what it looks like if someone doesn’t have it.

If someone has a life that you would like to have, learn from them but only if their values align with your own. You will then get to create your “own” ideal from their framework/roadmap. Love yourself. Seriously. You can’t skip over this part. You can take all the messy action in the world, you can be bold, brave and confident but if you don’t love yourself as you go, you will miss it all - the moments of overwhelming gratitude amidst wildflowers that bring you to tears, the pure ecstasy of a self love session for no one but you, the silence under the water at the lake, the sun on your face after days of rain, the baby growth springing forth as you nurture your plants, the taste of a morning brew in a clean kitchen.

Life is made up of many insignificant moments made significant and brought to conscious awareness through self love. Love yourself and the rest makes all the sense in the world.

Forward this to a friend who may need it 💫
