Learn to Love Well, Not Much
This morning’s journal entry turned into a declaration of love… for both of us.
I am grateful to be where I am, even as I’m in transition to somewhere I’ve never been. I leave room for the instability of feelings without doubting my commitment and progress. I comfort others reminding them that devotion has plenty of space for conflicting emotions.
I love beauty and I have a unique eye for it. I surround myself with it. I create it. I embody it. I look for it. I see it. I bring attention to it.
I speak life and encourage the overall health in all areas of humanness. I remind others that balance requires components on both sides of the scale and that there will always be outsiders whose contributions to our stability, or lack thereof, are outside of our control.
I am relentlessly unforgiving and honorably contentious with useless, unintelligent, and cruel negativity that’s only purpose is to disable anything that is contrary to its destructive nature. I encourage others to thoughtfully and virtuously rebel against internal and external demands of lethal compliance.
I enjoy simplicity. I hunger for it. I create it. I defend it. I invite others into it. I prove that more is not better and less doesn’t have to equal lack. I encourage others to borrow my cultivated peace while they learn how to construct their own.
I crave freedom. True freedom, independent of the definition and boundaries others choose to marry it with. I teach people how to autonomously determine and create their own freedom within the confines of reality we’re all required to adhere to.
I use my imagination enthusiastically. I recognize its power, and I recognize my power and responsibility to train it to bend toward the good of myself and others. I demonstrate and declare that every. single. person. has the power and responsibility to do the same.
I value self-control as a tactic to maximize my investment in life. I unlearn and break the bond between wildness and recklessness. I choose to accept that I am wild with a strategy to meet an impossible, yet necessary goal, and I demand the right to try. I show others that wild does not mean uncontrollable, it means uncontrolled by another.
I re-established my value and confidence in who I am by cashing out my account on productivity. I diversified my portfolio so that there’s a constant and unstoppable flow from my being that determines my actions. I teach others that this is a healthier, more lucrative and reliable way to establish wealth.
I flourish and diminish loudly and unapologetically, lovingly inviting others to recognize the health and purpose in this cycle. I discredit the theories of increase by following and validating the laws of nature.
I mourn the pruning of dead branches and fallen leaves that once adorned my life, while gratefully appreciating the severance of wasted energy, time and resources. I welcome new growth and new opportunities while acknowledging that with it I must welcome the discomfort and uncertainty of its birth.
I give space to my struggles with fear, comfort, selfishness, short-sightedness, and apathy in my story to remind others that these are a key part of becoming anything other than. I’m an example of why imperfection is the most fertile soil for abundance.
I become more of me so that I can master teaching, supporting, loving, accompanying, and going to war with you on your journey to do the same.
