My father would have been 102 this year. He was born in 1920, and passed away in 1997. I canât believe heâs been gone for almost 25 years of my life.
We didnât have iPhones back then, but we did have the old-school answering machine.
And one of his last messages to me was. âKeep going, sunshine.â
I celebrated my birthday earlier this month, and although I canât call my dad or mom and share my latest victory or have them talk to my kids, I feel them with me, deep in my heart.
I heard my fatherâs voice (as I often do), as I wrote this for you, the warrior (while also doing the ugly cry).
You are among the bravest people I know, and in this birthday month, I wanted to give you a special giftâŚ
A gentle, loving, and hopefully powerful reminder to help you to Keep going, Sunshine.
Just as my dad told me, over 25 years ago.
Here are 18 reasons why you, my friend, are a warrior.
1. There will be roadblocks + obstacles along the way. You will keep going.
2. There will be times youâll question yourself + want to quit. You will keep going.
3. There will be people who donât think you have what it takes. You will keep going.
4. There will be times you will get your heart broken into pieces. You will keep going.
5. There will be those who will tell you that your time has passed. You will keep going.
6. There will be people who will get to where you want to go, before you do. You will keep going.
7. There will be moments of despair, pain and sadness. You will keep going.
8. There will be people who donât like you for all different reasons. You will keep going.
9. There will be people who think what youâre doing wonât work. You will keep going.
10. There will be times you question yourself and all you are doing. You will keep going.
11. There will be all kinds of critics + people who judge you for your big dreams. You will keep going.
12. There will be naysayers + people who will tell you that your dreams arenât possible. You will keep going.
13. There will be times you wonât get the job that you thought would change everything. You will keep going.
14. There will be tears + anger + jealousy + frustration. You will keep going.
15. There will be times you are scared to take another step into more uncertainty. You will keep going.
16. There will be people who make it all look so much easier than it has been for you. You will keep going.
17. There will be days, months + even years where you think itâs not going to happen for you. You will keep going.
18. There will be distractions, detours + shiny objects that will try to lure you from your dream. You will keep going.
Because this dream of yours, is why you are here.
And if you could go through all of that + still be passionate about your dream, then you are meant to live it.
Most people would have quit by now. YOU. ARE. STILL. HERE.
You are among the few that are brave enough to pursue their dreams.
You are an artist.
You are a warrior.
And all youâve gone through to get here was part of the journey to make you stronger, more resilient, more confident, more understanding of who you really are, more compassionate, more soulful, more aware, more courageous.
And the person you become along the way, was really all part of the plan. It was WHO you had to become to live this dream, not the dream itself.
Because. one day soon, you will find yourself living this dream.
One day soon, you will find yourself looking around, in the midst of living this dream + thinking, whatâs next?
One day soon, this dream will be âno big dealâ to you, and you will be on to the next big dream.
STRONGER. WISER. EXPANDED. GRATEFUL for how it unfolded.
And you will begin the journey to your next big dream, even more joyful, because you now realize, itâs not about the goal, itâs about you evolving as a person.
It's about you showing yourself whatâs possible.
It's about you moving beyond limitations.
And so, you keep going, because you came for the joy of creating, the joy of expansion, the joy of having an idea and watching it unfold and manifest right before your eyes.
You are a warrior.
