There came a time in my life where I realized no one was coming to save me.

They’re not coming for you, either.

They can’t.

This is your journey. Your life. Your fire to build.

You can, and should, certainly surround yourself with good people, but no matter what, there will be some things you have to go through alone. Decisions you make, challenges you struggle with, emotions you feel… all by yourself.

We must embrace our own story and be willing to courageously show up in the world as we are. We have to show up for ourselves in this life first. I believe that a necessary part of this process is to work through your personal pain, but more on that later.

So, what is #BuildYourFire anyway? It’s a call to action to arms to build your own life and fight for it with all that you have. The thing that makes this movement so special is that its unique to you and your own life. It’s subjective to your own goals, your own ideas, and your own growth.

I can’t tell you what your fire is, and at the end of the day, its yours to build.

Building Your Fire is about ACTION. It’s about actually getting up and doing shit. It’s about being intentional about making waves in the universe, facing fears, and harnessing everything that makes you who you are.

It’s about being vulnerable with yourself and your story. It’s about sharing your imperfections with the world. It’s about going after that thing you’ve always wanted. It’s about the meaningful memories you make with your friends and family.

It’s about being willing to call people when they want nothing to do with you.

It’s about getting up and being ready for whatever the day is going to bring you.

It’s about setting goals & doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to reach them.

It’s about waking up every day and THRIVING, not just surviving.

It’s about quitting the job you know is draining you.

It’s about telling people you love them before it’s too late.

It’s about building a life that invigorates you.

It’s about exercising your autonomy.

It’s about choosing healthy habits and thoughts for yourself.

It’s about picking yourself back up.

It’s about moving forward no matter what.

It’s about having great sex.

It’s about traveling the world and seeing places you’ve never been.

It’s about anything that gives you energy and fills you up.

It’s about ignoring anything that drains you.

It’s about doing ALIGNED work.

It’s about personal development and self-awareness.

It’s about NEVER GIVING UP.

This movement is about being a beacon of light in a dark world.

About owning your story & loving every piece of who you are.

About challenges and overcoming them.

About trusting yourself and following through on your word.

About growth and investing in yourself.

About creating for the world & sharing love with the world.

About being ALL IN on your life. Balls deep. No holding back.

Anything that gives you energy. Passion is energy. Your fire is anything that energizes you. You take that and you build your fire through your production, your instagram, your facebook, your media. The more enthusiastic you are about it, the more your fire is built.

I like people that are energized, and when they talk about what they like to do, they’re passionate and ENERGIZED.

I want you to see you worth & get past you fear so they can build your fire. Everything holding you back is based in fear. Fear creates self-doubt. Self-doubt creates no action. No action creates no energy. No energy creates no life.

Build Your Fire is about pushing forward & NOT GIVING UP ON YOURSELF.

Build Your Fire is about intentionally building your life one piece at a time.
