Emotions That Drive Us to Open Our Door to Destiny...Or Not

Many of us are lead to make decisions based on emotions that drive us. These emotions are often the entry way to get to the other side of how we desire to live. Depending on perception, these very same emotions can work in our favor or work against us. 

 FEAR, OPEN, DOUBT and LOVE are the factors that either push us or make us run in the opposite direction. It is often the origin of stagnancy and delays. If you stop and think of every time you reached success or DID NOT reach success on your terms, I am pretty sure one of these 4 words had something to do with it. It is easier said than done to face life choices head on. Tools such as Self help books, affirmations, and motivation (while they are helpful), are just the beginning -a quick fix band-aid to cover our imperfections while we get the courage and will to ultimately change our lives to reflect the picture we so clearly see of how we want to be. 

FEAR- just the idea of not being enough can stop many of us in dead in our tracks. The unknown is a scary ass place. It's dark, and sometimes it is only you. Turning this door knob, puts this thing called life in full motion- all gas no breaks as some people like to say. You may get bumps and bruises along the ride, get re-routed, lose signal, question why you even left the comfort of your home in the first place... BUT taking the first step is the most important thing. For those who push through the door despite having fear, lean into your rare gift. Continue to let it be your motivating obstacle course. For those who don't walk through the door, that is ok too. However, if you are supposed to walk through those doors, life will continue to send things your way until you do. You can go the easy way or the hard way- the choice is ultimately yours.

OPEN- when we get so sick of the mundane or  are ready for something new in general this door often will pry itself free. Becoming open to a life we didn't plan for is not a bad thing. When we don't put limitations on just how good life can get, is often when life shows up and shows out. Openness allows for our story to go beyond our wildest imagination. It's when we get the best outcomes. It is a difficult thing to master indeed, but not entering will keep dope experiences at bay. Learn to embrace change, this is the very first step to becoming. Start by playing with the idea of various outcomes, visualize new life by editing the story of your screenplay. Walk through this door and simply sit. The opportunities designed just for you will find you just by being willing to sit behind this door.

DOUBT- I'm sure there are plenty of times where we all would not enter this room BUT when we did we found a pleasant surprise waiting on the other side. Doubt though crippling, is not real. It is all in our head. Sure, evidence can support why we should not do certain things but the only way to get better is to try over and over again until the evidence is no longer valid. Doubt is keeping new relationships, jobs, travel, innovations, and more away all at our own expense. We ultimately pay the price when we allow doubt to cash a check our ass actually can cash! It's so many people doing what you are fully capable of just off of confidence- no skills, no accolades, no support, JUST BALLS. When you make the decision to turn the knob and enter this room, your ego may take a hit. I'm not even going to lie to you... but you will be a force not to be played with the more you conquer all you're set out to do. Take the leap and thank me later.

LOVE-this is often the number 1 driving force why we choose to get things done and make something of our lives. Due to our love for family and significant others we plow through this damn door.  When we allow love to enter the chat, the outcomes are infinite- happiness is our high. However for some, this can be scary. When things are going too good we constantly wait for the other shoe to drop. They may actually drop, lol only time will tell but be in the moment and feel all the feels until they do. They may just not drop, even better! Boldly walk through this door, and receive all you're worthy of. 

Don't be a slave to your emotions, embrace them and walk through these doors. YOUR life is waiting on you.
