Decide to be intentionally rebellious while in radical dedication to yourself.
This is not the norm.
So if you want a different life,
You'll have to try different things.
Look inward more often than out,
Even when,
Especially when it's colder,
More fragmented,
Less obvious or beautiful in there.
Be willing to be challenged in ways that aren't commonly talked about.
Decide that you are willing to be a beginner over and over and over again.
Dance often,
Especially when you don't feel like it.
Give yourself time to integrate your own lessons before you start to regurgitate them to others.
Focus on the feelings,
Not the outcome.
When it comes to change,
Let it change,
Expect it to change,
Welcome the change.
Get to know grief intimately for most of the greatest gains are accompanied with great loss.
Practice saying goodbye to places,
People,
And parts of yourself that won't be joining you for the next leg of the journey.
Do not seek or strive for what is not meant for you.
You have more time and less time than you think you do.
Be willing to go to battle for yourself when required.
Become your own greatest ally.
It doesn't matter what it sounds like or looks like,
It matters how it feels.
Befriend fear and do it scared.
Realize that you are both your biggest block and your greatest expander.
And most importantly,
Do what you really want to do.
When you're following your true north,
Whether it feels like it or not,
You'll have the entire universe on your side.
And you'll have the entire universe on your side.
