Let Life Destroy You (Warning: Provocative)

Yes, let life destroy you.

Give yourself permission to be destroyed.

Destroyed...

Broken.

Demolished.

Devastated.

Lost.

Ruined.

Shattered.

Wrecked.

Give yourself permission to make peace with your greatest fears.

Fear of failure.

Fear of judgement.

Fear of risk.

Fear of uncertainty.

Fear of exposure.

Fear of inadequacy.

Fear of threatening your identity.

Give yourself permission to unpack the forces that render you powerless.

The annoyances.

The words or actions that offend you.

The energy that angers you.

The triggers that turn you into an animal.

Allow yourself to disempower all external realities and empower your internal reality.

There are reasons why powerful humans have found themselves staring death in the face.

There are reasons why inspired creatives and innovators and thought leaders have experienced great pain and suffering.

Give yourself permission to be destroyed.

Maybe then you will see.

Maybe then you will see the lies that you tell yourself that hold you back.

Maybe then you will remove the tension in your mind.

Maybe then you will see how you get in your own way.

Imagine if you lived completely aligned with the voice deep within.

The question I ask, is, what if?

What if you allowed yourself to be destroyed?

What if you allowed yourself to follow the path that pulls you from within?

What if you crafted the reality that gives you the most energy?

The reality that you intensely believe in.

What if you lived in accordance with a deep sense of purpose that only you can create?

What would this mean for you?

What would it mean for others?

For our humanity?

Destruction is not the removal of self.

Destruction is the rebirth of a new, powerful self.

Destruction is the seed that is left behind to create life.

It is the moment where you realize that everything around you does not exist.

Reality is a lie you have been sold.

What exists is only what you create.

The thoughts you give power to, consciously or not.

I wonder, what are you creating?

What are you creating in your company?

In your relationships?

In your legacy?

Allow yourself to be provoked.

Maybe this is not about being destroyed. 

Maybe it is about being created.
