Sniff, Sniff..I smell me some badass, is that you
I sure as hell hope so. Or maybe I should say…if you’re lucky it’s you. Good Morning Badass! Yeah you, I’m totally talking to you!
You see, we’re born badass, every single one of us. I just happen to love the term and made it the guts of my biz: be your own badass coaching. The word Badass has intrigued me since I can remember (helloo….intrigued, desire, attracted to…you get the drift, that’s the shit we must always follow, yes?!) Here’s what dictionary.com has to say ‘bout badass:
Adjective: distinctively tough or powerful; so exceptional as to be intimidating.
I get it. And don’t we all want some of that personal power? If you said no you might just go back to your life because Mr. or Mrs. Mediocracy is waiting for you to join them again on this dreary day on Flatline Avenue. If you said yes, well then….now we’re talking….let’ s get real…we all want it in some shape or form at some capacity ginormous or a speck but we want it….to become who we came here to be.
I love hearing from others about what they think makes them a badass, I am always moved to a million pieces. When I sat with what makes me badass here’s what I came up with: my curiosity, my learning to embrace my vulnerability, my twisted sense of humor, my mom-ness, my ability to stand for my marriage, the way I love my parents, the way I plan and pull off party’s, the way I love, my risk taking obsession, my Harley, owning my contentment with changing my mind, my stellar health, my love for good food and my ability to jump in not always knowing what’s in the water.
I took a poll one day on Facebook and asked my peeps what it meant to them to be badass and here’s what erupted~ Check ’em out….some good shit right here:
being solely responsible for your own happiness
Resiliency. There is nothing I can’t handle
Creating the life that I want to be joyful and free
Always being able to find the light in the darkest places
Tenacity. Set the goal and keep slogging along if necessary
Fierceness
Love and magic healing
Asking for help and inviting others to participate in a way that feels good to them
Always working on contentment: Santosha
Following Female Intuition…and keeping it funky fresh
Courageous Kindness
Owning my sovereignty and ruling my world…honoring my desires…asking and receiving
Philanthropic
Unabridged SELF-LOVE and RESPECT
Kindness
Stick-to-it-tiveness. Just keep swimming..
Courage & fierce advocacy- The courage to trust my compass with the courage to take action…even and especially when something seems undoable.
Mindfulness
and lastly…..If I exposed any more bad ass qualities of myself, I’d get arrested
Where and What is your Badass? Did reading this stir some mud in you? Are you wanting to shine your badassery? This is what I do, this is who I am for my world. Sometimes we have the blinders and haven’t a clue that we do and all of the time the stuff that’s hidden in our blind spots is the exact nuggets of radical goodness that is necessary for us to expand and grow into the badass human being we came here to be. Allow me to gently remove the blinders…they’re not serving you anymore. The world is fully equipped for a badass revolution, will you be there?
