🎁 fear of beating others
Don’t fear that it’s presumptuous that you’re going to be better than everyone else at doing this thing that you do. It has nothing to do with other people. It’s not about you being better than other people. It’s not about dominating other people.
Is about dominating the space you’re in.
Huge obstacles are so attractive. They are what makes the best stories. So quit trying to get rid of obstacles.
What must I do instead?
Create more obstacles. Be in a relationship with my obstacles. Dance with them. Welcome them into my life.
They’re not bad; they’re what I need to have any kind of positive impact on this world.

🎁 Following through on declaration
Honour your declaration and be true to it. Which, to be honest, is the opposite of what most people do.
If you say one thing and do another, your body doesn’t know how process that and gets confused. But if you start declaring things and doing them, those goals will come into existence fast. You’ll be astonished at how quickly some of your struggles drop away when you match your actions to your mouth.
Why must I not try to blow off Resistence when I run into it within myself? Why must I respect Resistance?
Resistance knows how to take me off my game. It’s a worthy opponent. Respect the battle it is bringing. Especially when I first start declaring things, Resistance will go “Really? Who the hell do you think you are?” and will take some nasty swipes at me… to test my determination, to see if I’m really up for this.
