In life, everything we do comes with some risk involved. There’s nothing that is 100% certain or safe so when we do it, we are accepting the fact that things might go sideways. We can either not do anything and stay cooped up or we can venture forth, take some risks, learn and grow. It’s all up to you.

PROMPT: What was the last risk you took? How did things turn out?

I have to thank @trainyardstore for this one as I saw this on their Instagram page and it touched me. If you are an empath, right now can be super trying. There is so much going on and we want to fix as much of the mess as possible. However, we need to make sure that we have to have something to give. If we don’t have something inside we won’t have anything to give. We need to make sure that we have something in store to give so it is important to make sure that we take time out to refill ourselves. We all know what we do that helps refill us so we have to make time to fill up in order to give.

PROMPT: What do you do for self care?

It is important to know yourself, who you are, what your values are. When you know this, it makes decision-making super easy. To know anything you have to study it and it is the same thing you need to do when it comes to knowing yourself. It is important to spend time discovering yourself.

PROMPT: How much of yourself do you know?

We are surrounded by motivation porn. If you use any social media service, from Instagram to Twitter, you can be sure that there is going to be a post that is all about motivating you to do X or Y. There’s nothing wrong with that but if you are waiting for motivation to do that thing you want to do, there’s a very good chance that it won’t get done. What we need to rely on is discipline. The discipline to suck it up and do what is needed, day in day out without any external influence. It isn’t easy but it is not impossible. Set a schedule and stick to it. Yes, you’ll slip but you just get right back and do what is needed. Bit by bit and boom, you’ll get to your goal.

PROMPT: What things can you do to cultivate discipline?

If you have to do something, focus on getting it done. Perfection is not a bad goal but it is not ideal. When it comes down to it, unless it’s Mathematics, you might not get the perfect result you want. So get it done, learn from that process, and then apply what you learned to the next go-round. It will be better because you apply things you learned. If you want to get it perfect before you call it done, you might never get it done.

PROMPT: Do you struggle with perfection? What was the last thing you finished? Was it perfect?
