Only You Can Decide

There are no obstacles, only opportunities for growth and development.

There is so much in this life we are born to overcome. We won’t all have to triumph over the same battles, except for one. There is one battle that every individual shares — the battle to overcome ourselves and our own self-destruction. Being afraid of our full potential will hold us back. Being afraid to look at the parts of ourselves that contribute to our own mayhem will keep us stuck in the same repeating patterns.

We have to be as brutally honest and disciplined with ourselves as the world is with us, because without that, we cannot change our behavior. It’s not just by looking at our mistakes that we grow, but by changing our behaviors and choices to align with what we truly desire.

We cannot make it without structure.

We cannot make it without discipline.

We cannot make it without grit.

Our ancestors did not survive disease, disaster, and the animal kingdom only for us to crumble under society’s form of survival.

We did not build homes into villages and villages into towns just to find ourselves crushed by the city pavement.

It’s our actions today that form our destiny.

Our legacy isn’t always told by the things that survive us — it is often told by the impact we make through the seasons of our lives.

How can you choose to make the best of your situation?

How do you choose to hold yourself accountable?

What version of you do you want to meet on the other side of this?

Only you can decide.

Love,

Kala
