He told me you're only afraid of falling behind because a part of you still believes that you can lose
Maybe it means different things to different people or maybe that's just something I deal with personally
This feeling of not being enough
but what if there's no such thing as
Winning and losing in anything either we're enjoying the day or we're suffering through whatever we're suffering through whether that's jealousy
Fear heartbreak, but it all counts
It's all
part of the experience. There's no winning or losing. There's just being human thinking about things
this way has just shifted the focus for me in a way and I I find it
so compelling that I wanted to make this and this is something that comes up for me in different places in different books that I
read in different interviews that I've watched and it's this idea of
Getting out of your own way
You can spend your entire life
Blaming the rest of the world for all of your shortcomings or why things are not going your way
It could be your neighbors your boss your grandparents politicians. It could be anybody right but
Other people are not to blame for my problems. Get out of your own way
You are your own limiting factor, and that doesn't necessarily mean to do more to try harder to be more productive
I know that's where I've looked when sometimes searching for answers
but something about that is still fighting against who and what you are. Getting out of your way is like
I don't know. It's just letting the things that are naturally bursting out of you come out
It's not fighting against what's currently happening whether it's good or bad or boring or fun or whatever. It's not fighting against
What's currently happening?
Because that's the present moment and the present moment is always enough.Do not
censor and silence your own voice before the world has even had a chance to hear it. You think the incredible
improbability of everything that is our world right now was made so that you could just keep your mouth shut ?
You could say that that's the easy way out
It's easier to hate yourself and stay quiet than to actually put yourself out in the world. Rejection fucking sucks, man
And people will reject you they will
Not everybody is gonna be your friend or your supporter or on your side
I know I have a tendency to fill the silence when it feels uncomfortable
We all have our ways of distracting ourselves from that which is uncomfortable. But discomfort is where things get interesting
It's where you see and build real character. It's where life gets exciting and unpredictable
You do what you can and then you let the rest just happen
