Shed The Shit!

Yep! I said it.

You want to build a life you love? You have to let go of all of the shit that is holding you back from creating the life that you love.

For some, it's pretty easy to talk a good game, but what about when the time comes to make a different decision, to take the action that brings you closer to the life you are dreaming about? Do you make it? Do you take it?

The difference between those living their best life and those who aren't, is really about doing the hard thing. Letting go of the things that don't align, belong, support, build the new life.

In the summer of 2021, I was face planted on the floor of my home office. I was working remotely, making $125K annually, and so disconnected from living a life that I loved, that I was crying and begging spirit for help. I could not pull myself up off of the floor that day. I had to cry and come to terms with there having to be more to life than this. This couldn't be all there was.

I was disenchanted with what I had created. At the time, I was a victim in the world, not realizing that I was truly a creator of the world. I asked spirit for help and the journey began.

2022 was the year that I coined the term "Shed the Shit" as the theme for my life. I was in an intense spiritual healing cocoon and nothing was safe from this intense review and evaluation of what stays and what goes. Pretty much everything went, friends, family, career, belongings, beliefs, old stories, old emotions, even let go of my personal history and said goodbye to masks that were preserving my old identity.

To be the match for something that lights you up, you have to know who you are and shed all of the layers of protection, illusions, people, material things, behaviors, trapped emotions, beliefs, etc. that are getting in the way of truly living the life you are dreaming of.

The fact is this is hard. The dream is easy. Committing and growing to be the embodiment of that dream creates opportunities for leaps of faith, testing your ability to surrender, building trust in yourself, and seeing the truth about the story that you are telling yourself. It is clearly stripping away all of the conditioning and support systems that are not aligned to the new dream. Spirit is asking, "Are you sure this is what you want?" and testing your commitment to the dream.

You know you are on the right track if the dream kind of scares you, yet you can't NOT move towards it. It's pulling. You still have free will, but it kind of feels right to move forward regardless of how hard it is. You choose you and at every decision point you continue to choose you.

This is the journey of transforming yourself and creating the life that you love.

It takes courage and strength to choose you.

And you will realize that that was exactly what it took to live the life you love beyond your wildest dreams. Because there is so much more. You are so much more.
