Make Way for You: Tips for getting out of your own way

About this ebook
You are all the self-help that you need!
That’s right, you’re powerful beyond belief and simply need to realize it. I won’t say that this book will instantly unlock all of your mental shackles ... that’s way too much responsibility for me. But it will surely help you find the keys. You have to be the one to decide to use them or not.
Free-Writing is the cathartic release that comes with writing in a flow state. When you’re in the zone, jotting down everything and anything that comes to mind. You'll be surprised how insightful this practice could be.
This is the first volume in a collection of freely written thoughts that helped me get through some of my own personal barriers and bullshit. My hope is that they can help you in a similar way.
Let’s get to a place where we can substitute the mysticism with hard work, and start taking steps in the general direction of our dreams.

This is the first volume in a collection of freely written thoughts that helped me get through some of my own personal barriers and bullshit.
My hope is that they can help you in a similar way.
Here’s to all of those dormant creators out there …
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every
superstar, every
supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
- Carl Sagan, from a Public Lecture delivered October 13th, 1994 at Cornell University
Make Way For You
Let Yourself Out
THE GREATEST version of yourself is dying to come out. It’s practically oozing out of your pores. But you stifle it. You stop it. You postpone it. You get in your own way, piling up hurdle upon hurdle, instead of clearing the path to allow you to rise from the ashes of your unfulfilled self. Break that trend and stop that trajectory. You’re digging a hole so deep for yourself that before you know it - will become the grave of the life that could’ve been. Build up to the you that you need to become. We elevate each other by lifting ourselves. It’s your duty, your calling not to squander it. We’re all in this together but it begins and ends with you. Don’t waste that talent. Nurture it and allow it to have the everlasting ripple-effect impact that it was meant to have. Throw a pebble of effort into the pool of the universe each day … and lets get started.
How will you use your 24 Hours?
CATCH UP mode. You can’t really make up for lost time … it’s over, it’s done. But you can
