practice this

…and things will start to come together/make sense/get really good/lead you on the path you’re supposed to be on:

1.) Concentrate on what you’re good at, not what you suck at.
2.) OWN who you are. Like as in- OWN it. Don’t forget- you can run, but you can’t hide. Mirrors are all over the place.
3.) Don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re stupid, crazy, immature, foolish, “running away” for following what feels right to you. Just thank them for their opinion and tell them you’ll be off living your life thankyouverymuch.
4.) When someone asks you completely assinine questions like; “Well, I mean, what would you do if your car broke down? What happens if you blow a tire? Aren’t you worried about frogs falling out of the sky?” Just say something equally assinine back like; “Well, I figured I’d strip my clothes off, spin around in the street and scream until they put me in the nuthouse.” (Looking dead serious. It will totally shut them up. Promise.)
5.) Use the 10% planning and 90% doing equation. No one likes a shit-talker, they are annoying. (I have been that annoying shit-talker! BLECH!) Stop talking a cool game and friggin’ do it already. We live in America people. Yes, that means freedom.
6.) Find people/companies/whatever who are doing what you want to do/think is cool and ask them to hang out with you. Ask them some questions and listen to them. The AHA! moments are amazing and really happen.

So…what am I going to “do” now that Alaska is “done?” (Everyone has asked me this.) Oh I cannot wait to share. (Thanks to Sean at One Week Job I have a perfect fitting mission! WAHOO!!!:)

When you take a step towards life the universe supports you. I swear on my life to you this is true. I have just lived this. I am living this. If you are like I was, 13 years worth of freaking out (what’s wrong with me, why can’t I figure out what I want to do, who I want to be, etc.) I am promising you, shut out all the fear in your life and listen to what your heart says, use the skills you’ve acquired, organize yourself, put in 110% effort, and run to what you want. You will get there. If for some unheard of reason it doesn’t work- I will personally sling pancakes at IHop to support you.

Life is so simple. We all complicate it. This trip has finally proved that to me. So as far as what I’m going to “do” after Alaska?

Exactly what I’m doing. And support other people to do exactly what they want to do as well. Now that’s a good life if you ask me.
