Have you ever felt like your life was sucking or that YOU were sucking? Or that life was sucking the energy or life out of you? OR perhaps YOU were sucking the life out of your life? Maybe right now you feel like you’re stuck, you suck, or you need help. Wherever you are, you’re in the right place!
SHOW NOTES…
I’ve been there. Not knowing what to do, or where to turn or go.
You’ve heard my story (Check out Episodes 002 and 003). All of us have a story.
We can compare “Suck Stories” OR you can make the decision that no matter where you’ve been or where you are, it’s possible to turn your “SUCK” into Success, your SUCK-cess into Success, and your mess into a message. One that will set you free, and allow you to do what you’re called to do…and desire to become.
Everyone wants success. I’ve met many who have it, yet they don’t feel successful.
Is this YOU?
Does your life look successful on the outside, but feel like you’re sucking on the inside?
This is SUCK-cess.
What you feel inside matters. If you’re not feeling successful then you’re NOT. Because success is about how you feel on the inside, as well as how you appear on the outside.
Success is very personal. How you define success matters.
Would you be open to the possibility that what you define as “success” is something that you already have in your life? However, you don’t feel it because you’re NOT receiving it.
Perhaps you’re not allowing yourself to be free and fully engaged with the success that’s YOU.
Success is an inside, out game. Not outside, in.
Yes, you can look highly successful on the outside…but not feel it. Again, this is the game of SUCK-cess.
Having “things” isn’t a bad thing. As long as your things don’t have you. As long as your “stuff” serves you, and not the other way around.
Look at why you’re doing what you’re doing. If you’re doing certain things only to look, be, or feel successful, OR to prove that you’re successful on the outside, I’d encourage you to go deeper and discover your true value from within.
What would you feel about YOU if you stripped it all away?
Several years ago I chose to strip it all away. I gave away or sold most of my possessions in order to discover my true value. Naked and unashamed. Naked and unafraid.
I let it all go, including all the SUCK.
How?
I allowed myself to receive the SUCK for a moment. Then I did the following, and you can too…
1. Allow yourself to feel the “SUCK Zone” for a moment.
2. Don’t stay there.
3. Define what true inside, out success means for you. You’ll then see that you ARE success.
4. Receive the success that is YOU.
5. Allow it (YOU) to be expressed in all areas of your life.
Receive the value of who you are, and allow yourself to express it in everything you think, do, say, and feel. This will turn your SUCK-cess into success.
When you receive YOU, there’s no longer a need to prove yourself.
What if you didn’t need to prove yourself anymore?
6. Let go of the “SUCK.”
You’re enough. More than enough.
7. Breathe in the inspiration of life by putting your hands to the plow with ACTION.
Why? because you’re alive. You love life. You’re grateful.
Become aware of your infinite success on the inside.
YOU BE YOU. Naked. Unafraid. Unashamed. Unapologetic. Unconditionally loved.
It starts with you loving yourself, regardless of your “SUCK STORY”, “SUCK-CESS STORY”, or SUCCESS STORY.
You get to choose how you’re going to write it AND LIVE IT.
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. Journal (Daily Action To Engage with yourself.)
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:
1. Write down how you personally define success.
2. Write out the words: I AM SUCCESSFUL.
3. Commit to being that, which is WHO you truly are.
