What's holding you back from getting your shit together? Is it time? Money? Other responsibilities? For me it was CONFIDENCE. And for a lot of creatives you’ll find the same. For the last 10 years I haven't felt an inkling of nerves getting up on stage to belt out a tune, no matter how big the audience was. But when It comes to putting myself out there day to day, in my work and my projects, I really struggled with feeling worthy of great things. WHO AM I to demand that respect? Who am I to charge that much? WHY WOULD SOMEONE PICK ME? Just 3 among many questions that guaranteed a stagnant outcome for my career and success. Until I reached a place where I thought: I SHOULD have made it by now. I should have MORE right now. I should have my shit together. And looking back on my life, I have come to realise and accept that I am in this situation because I CHOSE to be. I am EXACTLY where I’m supposed to be because I ultimately put myself here. I have learnt the concept of RADICAL RESPONSIBILITY. Accepting that you WERE the creator of your past, in order to understand and believe that you ARE the creator of your future. Such a powerful concept. But also very confronting. I can’t change my past. But understanding and acknowledging the things, people and situations that hold me back, gives me the opportunity to change and alter the course of my life. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it worth it? Fuck Yes! Because if I change and REMOVE THE BLOCKS that I have put in front of myself, then I can get to where it is I want to go. I can finally get my shit together. I can achieve that better version of me I want to be, and create the life I dream of having. So I’m going to ask you again: WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK? Think about it. Hard. Be honest. Do the work to change and SHIFT it. And friends, stop sabotaging the perfect life that was destined for you. Because YOU TOO, ARE WORTHY of that. #Mindset #Motivation #Lifeskills #Personaldevelopment
