Change is Guaranteed. Progress is Not.

Me at the Pyramids

As I sit here in Rabat, Morocco, drinking my café espresso and reviewing my daily journal entries, I came across the last two I made from Austin, back in February.

And, I vividly remember writing them both…

The first, coming from my favorite café in Austin, Café Crème, wrote shortly after walking with what remained of my belongings in my backpack, and waiting on my friend Art to pick me up and take me to the airport.

The second, coming from the Austin airport as I stood at a charging station, headphones in my ears, eagerly awaiting my flight that was in 30 minutes. The flight that would take me to Ireland, where it all started roughly 50 days ago.

And as I read my entries, a smile came across my face.

𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Café Crème in Austin, Texas

I feel, alive. A little hot, too… from walking here with a 40lb backpack haha

I’m grateful that I had made enough of a lasting impression that Keegan and Andy from Café Crème in Austin, bought me my favorite tea.

That means a lot. I feel as though it’s obvious to me now. I’ve become someone that cares deeply for others. I care for how their day is… How they feel.

What’s important to them, and WHO they are.

It’s amazing to see that kindness reflected back to me, because truly, this fully mirrors what I learned about three years ago when I started my personal development journey….

Our inner world is often mirrored in the outer world we experience, and create around us.

When I was always angry, or detached emotionally, I found myself in situations that aligned with that… primarily, because inside, I was empty. I was lonely, I did not like myself….

I was angry for being a victim to what I couldn’t control, other people and my mind.

Life only seemed to beat me down, because I beat myself down… and that sadness, that loneliness came out as indifference, aggression and anger towards others.

𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁.

It was fear that kept me addicted to drugs and alcohol as a teenager

It was fear that led to me pulling the trigger in 2004

It was fear that led to me keeping women at arm’s length

It was fear that kept me in college a year longer than necessary

It was fear that moved me to Atlanta

It was fear that moved me back to Missouri

It was fear that kept me from taking time off from work

It was fear that kept me from spending money

It was fear that kept me drinking in social situations

It was fear that caused me to criticize my fiancé

It was fear that…..

Fear is ever present in our lives.

Often, it’s the quiet inner critic in our head that speaks softly enough that we take it as being the truth.. Examples being

“𝘔𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳”

“𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧; 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬, 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴, 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺”

“𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘫𝘰𝘣, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴”

“𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴”

“𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺 “𝘯𝘰” 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵, 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦”

“𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘰𝘣, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳”

All of these are fear messages, and most, I have said to myself at some point in my life. While it’s possible for them to be true, there’s never a guarantee of that, nor is it necessarily a bad thing…

If at the end of the day, it leads to something better for your life in the long run.

What is interesting though, when we spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what we don’t want, we often get it.

Take for example, thinking your “𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑟”, if that is the belief, then what will happen is it will start to change how you interact with them.

Whether it’s blatant accusations, being emotionally closed off, or being short fused, one thing is certain… It will create a dynamic in the relationship that no one wants.

And if they were not cheating before, this new dynamic could lead to it, them leaving the relationship, or to a long drawn out miserable one.

And if they are cheating, well, that would need to be discussed, too.

Regardless of fact or story, thinking from a place of fear will steer all of your actions, and ultimately prevent you from either recognizing that this is an illusion, or that you need to have an honest conversation.

Standing here, eating my almonds I feel, free. I feel I’m about to embark on an adventure and growing experience of a lifetime… I believe I will experience more humbling growth during this trip than I have in the past three years.

I’m grateful for all of my friends, my family, and for me. I’m grateful for my willingness to open up to what is possible. To what is faith and belief in what could be better. Believing in myself. Learning to love myself. Learning to be better to me. Learning to share my love with others.

It’s hard to believe that I’m here today. Standing at the airport with this opportunity staring me in the face.

Do I still have moments where amidst all the change, the uncertainty, it gets to me a bit? I get a bit nervous?
