There’s so much power that comes with doing what you want

So much power that comes with following your heart , it’s like engineering your own happiness

But don’t forget the vulnerability that comes with it too

Following your heart means ignoring your brain , your intuition & feeding the parts of you that need to eat while wasting away the reservoir.

You can break your own heart by following your heart . You can break your heart by following your mind as well. There’s no easy way to life & that’s what makes it all worthwhile.

Accountability

You have the power to make ANY decision you want to . You can do whatever you want , it’s your life . Don’t forget to hold yourself accountable. Accountability is more than just accepting fault over something, it’s acknowledging your part in something, your toxic behavior, whatever you contributed as the leading cause to a specific event. Acknowledge it. Embrace it. I once read something that said “Accountability feels like attack to people who aren’t ready to acknowledge their toxic behavior ” & honestly that’s one of the most accurate things I’ve ever read.

“Accountability breeds response-ability”- Steven Covey

Validation

Don’t seek validation. You don’t need it. We’ve spoken about validation before. It’s ones constant need for approval. You’re self sufficient, you may need help every once in a while but don’t be driven by it . It’s okay to venture out on your own and do what nobody would never expect from you but you .

Your magic doesn’t need anyone’s approval to be potent

Seek for people’s opinions and advice every once in a while when necessary but don’t make it the fuel to your engine . If you truly believe in yourself and what you want to achieve you shouldn’t have to seek for permission from anyone.

Loyalty

Everyone claims to be loyal but what does it take to actually be it? Are you loyal to others more than you’re loyal to yourself? Does being loyal to yourself mean you have to be toxic to everyone else? You can’t be loyal to everyone , let’s face it . Find your people . Be loyal to them . Feed the hands that feed you. Radiate loyalty & positivity because in as much as you “don’t need” people a strong backbone of good and reliable friendships might be what you need to transform into your best self . You can’t do everything on your own, you’re always going to need someone to have your back & no one can have yours lest you have theirs.

Vulnerability & surrender

You can never truly give yourself to someone or something without making a part of you vulnerable. Pure connections between people come off ones willingness to be vulnerable, to surrender a part they hold so dear , usually ones ego. The same goes for hopes and aspirations and almost anything in life . You have to give in order to get . You need to invest a part of you each time in order to harvest a deep connection with someone , self love or even that dream you’ve been longing for . It’s a scary thing , letting your guard down or sacrificing a part of you but look at the bigger picture.

Victim mindset

We all have this . It goes along with accountability. We all want to be the victim so bad we forget to acknowledge our own role in things .

Don’t play the victim to circumstances you created

It’s so much easier to be the weakling , the one on the receiving end of the worlds brutality but how did your attitude contribute to it? Where you forthcoming on your misdemeanors? Are you willing to come out of your situation and rise above it or do you prefer to wallow in it & let everyone feel sorry for you all your life ?

Authenticity

You don’t have to act like you’re anyone else . There’s power in who you are . You’re you for a reason and although it might not make perfect sense , it will eventually. The people that seem to have their life together all started somewhere but the greatest of all is perseverance in maintaining who you are . You don’t need to follow the status quo or do what everyone else seems to be doing because everyone’s journey is different and you can only achieve your true self by doing what makes you , you.
