😳✋🏻hear me out🤚🏻😳 sometimes our dreams are no longer a source of motivation or inspiration and sometimes we cling so hard to them that we cause ourselves a lot of mental anguish and disappointment. We attach our identity to things like getting our dream job and when we don’t get the job our sense of self collapses.
Lately I‘ve been thinking a lot about the Jenny Holzer phrase, “Protect me from what I want,” and how it can be so freeing to let desire drop away to remember the things you already have. Such as innate worthiness as a human being regardless of the dream you couldn’t obtain 🫶🏻

sometimes an impending sense of doom fills my core when i get yelled at by customers at work. not because their unplaced anger hurts my feelings, but because of the absurdity of the job i’m currently doing.
like if i stopped trying, i could just get stuck doing this for the rest of my life. i know i won't do that, but it's still a very jarring notion and it forces me to remind myself that though this job is necessary right now, it’s ultimately temporary. i'm working hard to make my dreams come true and this is just a step in that journey.
almost nothing is permanent. this too shall pass :)

We’re conditioned now to try grab it all and grow without limit and it’s making us feel sick. Let something of value pass you by this week. Even better if it feels wrong to do so/presses into an uncomfy spot. See if the feeling you’re craving can be achieved using tools you have. It’s extremely honourable to operate one beloved restaurant and never open any more, success doesn’t have to mean becoming shake shack (although I do like shake shack).
