Choosing Hyper-INTENTIONAL Fierceness
Despite the darkness fighting for the prime spot every single day!
Life thus far has been a marathon, not a sprint.
Often a lonely road, filled with twists and turns constantly making me question my resilience.
Yet, here I am, not by chance or luck, instead because a Hyper-INTENTIONAL travel, despite all odds. even when I questioned my own abilities and conviction.
At the time, I did not know I was going to be able to identify my relentless strength as my Hyper-INTENTIONAL mindset.
However, even during the darkest days, I knew that something keeps helping me stand right back up on my feet even after the scariest and most painful of the falls I have been through.
This life has been a rollercoaster of dreams, sacrifices, and the relentless pursuit of finding my own space, on my own terms and timeline. I must say, it has not been an easy feat!
Waking up each day with a surge of energy, crystal-clear vision, and an unwavering determination is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. It is no secret that clinical depression, PTSD, and anxiety are always in the race to win the first spot every morning I wake up.
The fear is there, coexisting with gratitude and enthusiasm. It requires an inner reservoir of fortitude to defy the darkness and choose light, morning after morning.
I remind myself of the extraordinary privilege of being alive, having choices, and making decisions that shape my life. It is a luxury — one that in the (relatively) liveable parts of the world we claim to be the ‘free and civil’ world, we take for granted far too often.
Challenges and setbacks have taught me humility and importance of throwing my ego away to recognize and celebrate what truly matters. I am not perfect, far from it, I never will be and for that reason I am committed to becoming a better version of myself at every turn, and corner of life if get to experience and be part of this unique expedition called human-life.
I aim to lay bare my fears, embrace my flaws as I also fuel my fierceness to be more INTENTIONAL than the day before, if I get to wake up with an opportunity to do better once again. I will have lapses, will be overcome with fear, will doubt my choices, and will learn more unpleasant yet valuable lessons and I am as prepared as could be to do the best I can, and then some.
Here’s to the journey of 21 Hyper-INTENTIONAL decisions that I will now begin to reveal one by one, in hope that it helps someone out there who feels the way I do and can do this a little easier than I got to.
With my fears, flaws, and fierceness.
