Curveball

[ivankiss]

If you are on the hero's journey, or any journey at all - trying to attain or achieve something, improve or transform, etc... you better be ready for them curveballs.

Life is most certainly going to throw a couple of those along the way. And you won't see them coming. That's what's so brilliant about it. It's perfectly inconvenient. Unexpected, and it fucks up things so flawlessly. As if by design. As if it's higher intelligence at play. Because that's exactly what it is.

So how can you be ready and prepared for something that's meant to catch you off guard and shake up your world? Well, you can't, really. But you can acquire the skills and cultivate the strength and wisdom to deal with pretty much anything that emerges out of nowhere and tries to throw you off track. You can also let it knock you down, trusting that you will always recover and eventually find your way back. Up to you.

Nevertheless, curveballs will be thrown. I had a solid plan laid out for myself. A plan to get me to a specific place - if you will. And oh man, the amount of curveballs... but here I am. Still going. Still pushing. I know I can overcome nearly anything life throws at me, because this is what I am meant to do. There is nothing else for me. This is my purpose, my mission, my game, my dream, my life. This is what I want, this is what I signed up for. This is what I chose, this is what chose me. 

You see what I mean?

When you really have something worth living and dying for, the challenges in-between are not all that scary. You see past them. See through them. Understand why they're there. You might not have a solution for every problem in an instance, but you will have this deep knowing that it's all ok.

All part of the plan.

Yes.

Perseverance. Never look back. Consistency. Protein. Hustle. Push ups. Never sleep. Never rest. Never listen to haters. Never give up. Never back down.
