#1 Way To Get Unstuck

Tell the truth. That's hard to do right now. There's all these living people my truth effects. 

I've had to write around parts of the truth, I've looked at my life and story from angles and ways that made me glide away from nights of looking at my door handle praying it wouldn't open, and I have had the freedom to write about my adult life, to share all the adventures I've had and the struggles and the beautiful thoughts, the overcoming and wildly wonderful dreams that are coming alive. You see there is an ache in this world, it's a hard place to be sometimes. Someone once said to me "you are either going to rise up or you are going to sit and wait to be taken out." So which is it? What's going to happen, what are we going to do? What am I going to do? What are you going to do? I think should help each other, and I think we should get creative with it. 

Hey you dear soul, it is you who belongs, it is you who is loved, it is you who is seen, it you who is not forgotten, it is you who is hoped for. 

It hurts right? This unsatisfied feeling in your heart, this pain from before, this struggle to overcome what has been done. Maybe you did the bad thing and you hate yourself now, maybe the bad thing was done to you and you aren't the same. 

See I know what it feels like to feel like you will never be the same, like too much has happened and the damage has left you permanently changed. God that is so scary. The truth? It's a little bit true, you are changed, but not permanently damaged. There is a sea of forgetfulness where all those things in the past can go, and they don't have to belong to you anymore. You can have new paper and a new pen. If think for two seconds I mean for this to stay a place you read about getting unstuck you're wrong. We are going to go places, we are going to challenge fear, we are going to throw a wrench in the old way of living, of feeling, of being and book plane tickets and sometimes we are going to do it together, so get your passport because THIS IS YOUR INCITING INCIDENT. 

P.S Oh yeah, the number 1 way to get Unstuck is to get unstuck everyday as if nothing had yet been done, because it's a long road and there are pot holes to dip into, mountains to climb and oceans to fill your lungs with salt water and it's not going to be easy but you are going to try because you value your life and you aren't a robot. Did you know that? Did you know that you aren't a damn robot and you choose your life everyday? You can choose to make little changes to get unstuck, and that's consistency, you're gonna need that. But I suggest you go big and you don't go home, you do something to radically change your perception of yourself and your life. 

We can talk about this more, but for today be encouraged because the paper and the pens are yours for the taking.
