I used to say: I am "humble".

I used to say: I am "nothing" but a "vessel".

I used to say: I am "just" a "conduit".

ᴡᴇʟʟ - ꜰuᴄᴋ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴀᴛ.

It doesn't feel: authentic, aligned or accurate to ᴡɪʟʟɪɴɢʟʏ ᴍɪɴɪᴍɪᴢᴇ ᴍʏ ʙᴀᴅᴀꜱꜱᴇʀʏ.

It doesn't: serve, honor or revere my ninja spirit, my warrior essence, my badass s o u l, to n e g a t e my fearless and perpetual efforts in the flesh. In this perfectly imperfect body form I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.

And- ɪ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ: to dedicate my waking human experience to humanity and all of creation.

ɪ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ: to diligently walk the path.

ɪ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ: to devotionally practice and train, hard, day a n d night.

ɪ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ: to eat, sleep, shit the path with my third eye on the prize.

Because- ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴀ ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄ ᴏʟʏᴍᴘɪᴀɴ.

Does my unyielding commitment provide: trophies, medals, awards, accolades, paid endorsements and media attention?

Nope.

Au contraire.

All things real, my fervent efforts frequently produce illusive sensations, including but not limited to: frustration, anxiety, inadequacy, unworthiness aaand, a plethora of ridiculous and profane conversations with the universe.

So why do I ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ to rinse, wash, repeat?

ɪ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ to show up over, and over, and over, a g a i n to unite with my highest self, potential, path and purpose because:

ɪ ᴀᴍ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ʜᴏɴᴏʀ ᴀɴ ᴀɴᴄɪᴇɴᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴇʟᴇꜱᴛɪᴀʟ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴛ.

And no one e v e r made it to the top of their game by quitting when shit got rough, tough, wild, wicked and realAF. I fiercely accept my mission. I conquer perceived challenges. I raise the bar every fucking time I supersede the goal.

I used to say a lot of things which unintentionally and unknowingly diminished my badassery.

Never again.
