What if everything you want is already available - and you’re suffering is the only thing blocking it? it’s hard to compress my learnings in the past few months into the short video, so apologies if it sounds abstract. But this has been one of the most important journeys I have taken myself on, and it’s giving me everything I’ve ever wanted. #selflove #philosophy #fypシ゚ #fypviralシ

In less than six months I have gotten pretty much everything I've ever wanted and it's not because I worked harder, it's not because I suffered more, it's precisely because I stopped doing those things. And there's a creator who I love on here called Charlie's Toolbox and she talks about how suffering is not proof of effort, brutality is not a strategy and you can achieve everything you want, all the biggest things in the world without resistance. And when I look back at my life this could not be more true. The things that I bled for, the things that I poured my anxiety into, lost sleep over went through hell for, mostly did not work out. The things that came into my life with ease, with joy, with a lightness that was difficult to trust, became some of the most beautiful life altering things to ever happen to me. And I'm talking about, you know, the best people, the best opportunities, whole chapters of my life. The evidence was always there, I just wasn't willing to read it yet. I made one decision on New Year's last year and I was going to dedicate myself to a single theme. If you are overwhelmed by trying to fix your life and feel like you're getting pulled in a million different directions, dedicate yourself to one theme, use that as the parameters in which you're going to live your life in and have some focus. The theme of my year is to stop being dictated by shame. I stopped rehearsing the story I'd been telling myself of my life from my childhood. I stopped telling myself that I wasn't ready. I stopped telling myself that I needed to work harder to get to where I wanted and that I needed to bleed before I deserved good things. And I simply just started. I started before I felt ready. I started when my anxiety was still there before I had any permission or evidence. And I started to just simply act like the version of me that I always wanted to be. And I gave my nervous system evidence again and again and again that I could be trusted. And what followed was everything I've ever wanted. You know, love, deeper connections, abundant friendship, financial freedom, true fulfillment in my career, creative outlets that I'd always wanted to have. This is what is possible when you stop organizing your entire life around shame and resistance and you become available. Do not forget that everything that you want in your life is available and abundant in the world. It's available for you to receive it when you simply stop blocking it with your own resistance and suffering. You do not need to suffer your way to deserving a beautiful life. And that is one of the most freeing things you will ever realize.
