Learning From The Downs.

March 07, 2021

Life is incredible, if you allow yourself to learn from the downs.

They're inevitable.

Dreams are on the other side, I promise, and they will actually feel like dreams because of what you had to do to get there. Because of how you had to forge yourself to get through to the other side.

And I'll tell you something even more interesting - You don't want those dreams to come true until you have to earn them. Because if you have to fight for them, they will actually strangely feel like you might deserve them. Which is important because let me tell you, imposter syndrome is a very real thing.

By fighting for them, you will forge your perspective to find the silver lining in even the dimmest circumstances... Which is essential to making it through a crazy world these days.

You will be okay with rejection because you know what you have inside of you. You will have love for yourself that no one can ever take from you.

When you can improve your perspective, anything is possible.

Prev / Next

I have years of writing, stacks of journals and notes.

The raw and vulnerable thoughts from my journey, as I spontaneously explore the world.

The untold stories of strangers I have found along the way.

The experiences that have made me feel most alive.

And all the moments in between.
