Morning Motivation: Going into the darkest cave

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” - Joseph Campbell

I have found my cave and it is dark and scary and filled with every single thing I have ever tried to hide from over my entire life. My fatness, my looks, my failures, my flakiness, my laziness, my lack of follow through. All of it is coming up right now because I took massive action and hired a coach to hold me accountable to this dream.

I don’t know why I though I could create this documentary and not do the audacious things that it takes to make the impossible happen.

The rejections and the vulnerability and the counting on faith.

Holy fuck. This is some big shit.

And yet, I know it must be done. I can prepare myself for the setbacks and also open myself up to receive the support I know I will receive from friends and complete strangers.

To be honest, I think receiving support is going to be harder for me to do. I’ve been told no before. Lots. But for someone to hold my dreams close to their heart and do something - anything - to help me achieve my goal, that is massive for me. That is a self-worth up-leveling. That is a trusting myself to complete this project thing.

The train is leaving the station and I can either stay on the platform and watch it move farther away from me or I can hold on, not 100% committed - and try running beside it for as long as I can hold on in desperation and fear (that sounds fun) or I CAN GET THE FUCK ON BOARD AND RIDE IT OUT - ups and downs and all of it.

100% ALL IN.

I’m on board. I can’t wait for you to join me.
