⚜️ Life has become so easy for many of us that we have forgotten who we are! But, I believe that pain is the magic, that’s why nobody gets it. The reality of this game is that there are no participation trophies for greatness. The key to your greatness is pushing into pain by destroying weaker versions of yourself.

Learn to empower yourself through your perceptions. Press into failures because that’s what makes you stronger every day. Don’t become someone who runs from the darkness, be the one who can stay in it, and be fine with it.

Ask yourself, if you can respect yourself with the way you’re choosing to live life right now? If the answer is no, then decide to change it and you will earn self-respect which is where everything begins.
Learn to lean into the darkness.

Warriors need the battle and the most righteous battles are against the most weaker versions of yourself. If you want to slay the dragon before you, you must cultivate your God-given gifts. You have to learn how to integrate the darker sides of yourself actually. Integration is the goal, eradication is an allusion.

The darker side of your nature has been given to you for a reason and you must learn how and when to leverage it on your journey. The strongest people have learned how to integrate and leverage it all for the greater good. It all serves a purpose just as day and night serve a purpose within 24 hours of life. You will need all that you have to be the person you were created to be and even then you’ll need his grace.

Lean into that pain, and do not run away from struggles.
