PERMISSION TO BE SEEN, GO BIG, FULLY SHINE YOUR LIGHT + BE HOT AS FUCK; GRANTED!

I know you’re scared you might not be good enough, and that if you fully shined your light the world would mock or scorn you, or simply ignore, but I want you to know:

You have permission, still, to be seen, go big, shine your light, FULLY, and be hot as fuck as well.

I know that when you really LOOK at why you continually handcuff yourself AND your art, hold yourself back, play where it’s safe and you already KNOW how to show up, stay in the space where you’ve PROVEN yourself, there’s a voice inside of you questioning whether what YOU have to say or share could ever get you to where you dream of, but I want you to know:

You have permission, in spite of this, to be seen, go big, SPEAK your God damn truth, do it to the WORLD, as well, not just this one tiny pocket, shine your light so bright it nearly BLINDS, and feel and look fucking amazing, too.

I know that when you look within –

And you lean INTO the fear –

And you remove emotion or drama and simply get CURIOUS about how it is that you’ve STILL NOT GONE ALL IN, the best you can come up with?

Is fear.

That maybe you don’t have what it takes.
Maybe you can’t do it your WAY.
Maybe it will be too much work and too hard and it’s SCARY, and besides – !

You’re probably not cool enough, either.

I know.
I know.
I KNOW.

And fear is a real thing; I’m not saying it’s not, but also, there is this:

None of these reasons are valid, really, to not chase after your dreams.

Are they?

No.
They’re not.
And yep.
You already knew that.

Sometimes I think you … and when I say you I mostly mean me … you WANT there to be a valid reason.

Proof! Handed down by God himself! To say that NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY AND EVEN IF YOU GO ALL IN, EVERY DAY, FROM THIS DAY, ON, YOU WILL NEVER

FUCKING

MAKE IT

Well – too bad! It doesn’t exist. You damn straight KNOW you have what it takes, and you also know that if you can see it INSIDE of you that not only means it’s possible, but also that you MUST.

God doesn’t give you a dream
You can’t fulfil
And by the way –
What you can SEE inside of you, when you journal and vision, and look, into what can BE, is not only what God has granted as POSSIBLE or ‘allowed’ for you (yes, you’re allowed, you HAVE permission!), but also –

It’s your motherfucking mission baby.

You didn’t COME here to be flesh and bones and then die.

You didn’t COME here to raise a family, get a great house and car, be a good person, then die.

You didn’t COME here to impact on a small scale, either.

All of these things are all well and good.

None of these things are the reason YOU were born, although sure – they might form part of it. (Except for the small scale thing).

You know what you came here for.
You know what you came here for.
You KNOW what you came here for.

You KNOW your fucking purpose, don’t TELL me you don’t! Sure, you may think it should sound fancier than what it does … and yes you CONTINUE to question if you ARE enough for it, or if anybody wants YOU to do that | create like that | be that | for them.

But you still know.

And you know you’re not all in on it, not even close.

Day after day, you go to bed at night, and you DIDN’T press play.

You barely even tried.

You’ve created for yourself a life where you can be ‘successful’, even acclaimed, but the truth is – you’re hiding out. In a world which protects you. From putting yourself. Out there. Where it’s scary. Where you might fall. Where you may get knocked down, 1000 more times, before you finally move forward, even an inch.

And I wonder –

When did you become this scared person? When did you decide you were going to stay in the BUBBLE? When did you stop being DARING and CRAZY and BRAVE?

What happened to you, to cause you, to be so, well –

Meek.

– ?

It’s so easy, in this world, to APPEAR to be all in. It’s so easy to plant yourself IN a world where you DO look like the one who is ‘owning it’. It’s so EASY to avoid stepping into the world you know you’re MEANT to be in.

What if you’re not accepted?
What if you embarrass yourself?
What if they just don’t LIKE you?
What if your EVERY fear about not having ‘it’ is true?

Well –

Sure.

And what if you never try?

What if another ONE FUCKING DAY even passes by and you STILL haven’t really TRIED?

Time is passing dear one.

The clock IS ticking.

You’re ALLOWING your bullshit to be BIGGER than your dreams.

And you’re BECOMING everything you SWORE you would not, would never, not you!

There’s still time.
You can change NOW, in this MOMENT.

But stop kidding yourself –

If you don’t –

That you ever –

Will.

You told the same story last week, last month, last year.

You believed yourself, too, at one point, that you’d change.

But the more you carry on the way you are –

The more your belief fades.

You’re boy who cried wolf-ing your own life.

And one day it really won’t matter whether or not you still believe you COULD –

Because it will simply be –

You didn’t.
