[WEDNESDAY MORNING MOTIVATION]

A little Wednesday morning motivation.

“It isn’t our fault if life handed us a sh*tty hand, but it is our responsibility to take that sh*tty hand and do something amazing with it.”

I’ve wallowed in self pity for a long time.

It isn’t fair my daughter was diagnosed with autism.

It isn’t fair I for some reason struggle with a panic disorder.

Boo-hoo Alyssa.

Not a single person is coming to save you. Half of them don’t even care- and the other half are probably happy you have problems. Quit whining. Quit complaining. Victim mode doesn’t work and it sure as he*l doesn’t give you a better life!

Pull your big girl pants on and get to work on your life. Figure it out. Work hard. Quit looking at everyone else’s grass and work on your own.

So your daughter was diagnosed with autism and may struggle her entire life? Get your butt off the couch, work hard, and figure out how to give her the best life possible!

So you have a panic disorder and struggle to leave the house? You going to whine and complain like a little baby? Fight like hell for what you deserve and WHAT YOU WANT. Your happiness is your responsibility. And if you want something, you better chase it.

Today, let’s water our own grass and quit worrying about what the Joneses are doing. As Grant Cardone said- quit trying to keep up with the Joneses, they’re broke!!!!!! Quit playing the victim card and man up! You’re better than that.

Yeah, life threw some curve balls-

But who’s stronger?

You?
Or the curveballs?

DO WHAT IT TAKES.

Will Smith (in one of his amazing motivational YouTube videos) said "99% of people are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true" and that's got to be one of the most motivational things I've ever heard...

What's one of your big dreams?

And what holds you back from achieving them?

I would love to see some real, raw, honest, heart felt answers...

I'm sure mine is pretty easy to guess! But struggling with anxiety and a panic disorder stops me from all of my dreams. I want greatness. I want to not feel like a disappointment. To not feel like I did absolutely nothing with my life. I want to make my mark on this world. Spread goodness. Help others heal from things I've been through. I want to love. I want to give. And I want to learn how to overcome what holds me back from living this kind of life. I want to make an impact on this world, but it's hard to do from your couch because you're too afraid to leave it.

What holds you back?

How do we get over that hump?

How do we heal?

How do we face our fears?
