7. Release Your Inhibitions
August 31, 2023
Is there something holding you back from achieving your potential?
Are you even in touch with the depths of yourself to truly understand what your maximum strengths and existence may look like in the real world?
Are you ready for a wild ride?
If you said yes to any of these questions, you may be ready to live the life you’ve imagined!
Building a life, habits, relationships, a career, a family and a fuller, more complete version of yourself takes time, open-mindedness, patience, a lot of work, and some luck and faith for good measure.
It takes introspection, a level of confrontation — of the past, of your nightmares and fears, of your roadblocks — and an ability to forge forward despite the negative track playing in your mind or in the mouths of the naysayers in your life.
Was Rome built in a day?
Methinks not.
Open your eyes, though; we live in a world of popups, of startups, of events that happen and can pass you in the blink of an eye if you’re not paying attention.
So the challenge in building your roughly 75-year adult life on Planet Earth is to count the moments, and make those moments count.
Yes, I just vomited in my mouth.
But it’s true!
There’s only one sunset a day;
Only 60 summers left;
Only one shot; do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity.
Yes, I just quoted Eminem.
It is, indeed a Throwback Thursday, and when I recorded my Shofar ShoGood video today about tapping into your intuition, I also slipped in a Natasha Bedingfield line — “release your inhibitions.”
(Is there any better way to convey emotion than through music?)
Don’t answer that.
So feel the rain on your skin.
Go out there, do something bold, prove to yourself that “yes, I can!” and I want to, and I will (fill in the blank).
Go ahead and make a move, try something different or new, allow yourself to be:
- Pleasantly surprised — for that step could turn out to be a magic carpet ride; or,
- Unfortunately disappointed — which could lead to the rug being yanked out from under you.
Either outcome is okay.
Allow yourself to live, to love, to laugh, to fuck up badly, to hurt and be hurt, to nourish and to be nourished, to adapt, to learn, to grow, to be the change, to be fulfilled, and, to be at peace, happy.
Go out and grind, and build your empire, and remember to take the time to rest and reflect on it all once in a while too.
I think that is all…
Or else I’ll burst out into song and dance, and nobody wants to see that…
Or do they?
Just love yourself, and you’re set -
Now get on your way!
