Why do we work to SURVIVE when we could live fully + create MASSIVE CHANGE. 

For most of us, work is seen as a necessary means to support our lives outside of work, such as paying bills, buying groceries and enjoying leisure activities. 

But what if our work could transform into a sense of purpose, fulfilment and become part of our identity.

For myself, I know I never felt this way towards my jobs.

Although my role was a crucial part of the company i worked for, I never felt like I was touching the surface of what I was capable of. 

🌏 I want to contribute to worldwide change in the form of health and sustainable living.

🌏 I want to help protect our wildlife and defend our oceans. 

🌏 I want to support mental health awareness.

And now i’m on my way to supporting this sort of change. 

Yes, your work is necessary to produce the funds you need to live, 

but 

what if you could earn an income that would allow you more time and freedom to take control of your choices and contribute to the changes that you see this world needs.

There is so much pain in you and I.

Some of that pain we can’t control and so we deal with it as best we can.

But sometimes it comes directly from ourselves.

Our actions 
Our lack of action
Our words 
Our lack of words
Our thoughts
Our lack of thought

If you pay enough attention you might notice that you actually planted that seed days, weeks or months before and it grew into the issue you see today.

I have started to realise that actually, I'm the one who causes some of my own pain and in the past I would just let it stay. 

A bit about me:

For so long I felt unworthy of pretty much everything. 

I didn’t feel confident because of past experiences and never believed I could face my pain and change my circumstances. 

What i really needed to do was confront my suffering, figure out what caused it and take action in a way to turn it to benefit myself and everyone around me. 

“When we confront our suffering and pain honestly, our lives get better.”

- Jordan Peterson

○ I was living in a negative environment not realising that I was facilitating it. 

○ I was working in a job that was hurting me but not looking for a way out.

○ People hurt me but I realised that I hurt them as well.

What i wanted was to feel good and create good everyday so now i aim to do so knowing the power that God has given me.

So the point of all this is to encourage you to confront your suffering. 

I know some days you are hurting and that is ok.

Give yourself an hour or a day to feel but then go do something about it.

Again, sometimes we experience suffering that is completely out of our control..

But with the pain that you have found yourself in, learn to confront it and see if you can make a change ♡

"STUCK IN A ROOM"

Sometimes this is what life feels like⇪

We are in our safe and comfortable little box with the light of possibilities and opportunities shining in but just out of reach. 

It can be easy to think that there is no way out.

For me this room is how I used to envision my life. 

I felt stuck in my job, 

stuck in my body, 

stuck with the same people,

stuck in the same negative environment,

and stuck just simply surviving.

So what changed for me?

I finally found the door, a gateway to the outside, a gateway to my freedom. 

This door would allow me to discover a life outside of this room, outside of my restrictive life. 

I finally started to walk, then run, and now I am dipping my feet in the vastest ocean of my goals. 

But this took faith and growth. 

1. I had to first build confidence in my God and myself enough to believe that their was a door,

2. have self worth enough to believe that I deserved to find it and 

3. start taking actionable steps to move towards and through it. 

So in no way is it easy, but once you choose to do the work on yourself, you will find your door into the space of your life that you have been searching for. 

Swipe left to see where my door is taking me :)
