The first step in bridging the gap between who you are, and who you wish to be, is knowing who you are.

November 21, 20202

The second step is knowing who you wish to be.

Stop letting people tell you who you are. Period.

Before you can go on any journey towards MEANINGFUL transformation...

You need to have a destination. And to figure out this destination...

You must have a clear path.

Your SOUL is your compass.

And guess what?

Some people won't like this...

Some people won't like you for who you are, and what you stand for. Some people won't like you for how you operate.

Some people won't believe in your dreams.

Some people will support you only until you start to surpass them.

Dude. It's fine.

It's OK if your value system is different than others.

It's OK if your calling is different from what others think and say it should be…

But you know what's not OK?

What's not OK, is being so impressionable and malleable that you forget you are. What's not ok, is not being solid in who you are.

When you allow the opinion of your parents, who may demean your dreams, or shame you for wanting to leave/marry someone...

When you allow the voice of a business partner to stifle your creativity or authenticity.

When you allow the gaslighting, emotional manipulation, victimization, or silencing from your significant other.

When you allow others to tell you who you are, who you should be, who you are not, and any other bullshit story about yourself…

You allow your voice, truth, desires, and SOUL to deviate from its true essence.

You're basically taking the compass that's guiding you and chucking it at the ground.

Allowing it to shatter.

Good luck knowing where to go.

Good luck knowing who you want to become.

You've got to know yourself to know where you are going. 

Breathe and remember who you are. 

You are capable of creating the life of your dreams.
