Do It Scared, Do It Broke
Just start where you are, you are the only competition, and forget about everything that stops you from being the best version of your self.
By Arjuna Maria
Everything you need is already inside you. Your mind and knowledge literally can be transformed to anything you physically desire in reality. It is about a deep seated belief that when you do something, you do it because you do not expect any reward. You do something because that is the full expression of who you are.
I have always loved writing and expressing my self. I have always loved learning and discovering new things, not just from the outside world but more importantly deep within my self. I have flashbacks of my younger days when, everything seems like pointing out to where I am right now. Still hungry, still curious for what is out there.
I have always known my creative side. But the thing that held me back from expressing it to the full extent in my later teen years and adult years was the fail of never ever reaching the top. Or being ridiculed and shamed. When I examined these fears, and from countless motivational, psychological to spiritual books that rewired my concept of self. I can say that I have finally understood how it is to be truly accepting of my self, with all of my shortcomings, mistakes and imperfections.
God is the only valid judge for what is right and wrong that is happening in my life and from that devotion, I know that there is still a lot of experiences that I choose for my self in order to level up my qualities as a human being capable of love, forgiveness, and all the range of emotions possible.
“Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.”
― Osho
Why do it SCARED?
“Life begins where fear ends.”
― Osho
It is because only by crossing that threshold, you will realize that you will not die from shame or ridicule. Everyone’s opinion about you is made up from the perspective they have in their mind. No one opinion of who you are or what you do in your life matters. For me, only God’s opinion of me matters. As long as I am expressing my true self, with fear or with confidence, I am knowing that God flows through me. This is a passion and purpose that made sense to me. Knowing God. Expressing God.
“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
― Osho
Why do it BROKE?
Achieve everything you can do right now to reach material richness in your reality. Never accept poverty in your daily existence. One must realize that richness and abundance is everywhere. We literally did not create our bodies our selves but it is already worth millions, nevertheless priceless.
Never mope for lack of money. Never respect the existence of poverty, it is unnatural in this world.
Do it broke and again never be scared that you never have enough. By succumbing to fear, you will make up excuses why you can never do it. Start where you are, embody that reality of richness in small and big ways. Do the best you can, and as cliche as it gets, if its really your purpose in life, you will always generate the energy and the connections for you to achieve your plans and dreams. God does work in mysterious ways, he works through us everywhere and every time. You just have to be open and listen to the little signs.
