I kept it 100 and didn’t feign confidence. I took a boxing class recently – I certainly was’t the best (I liken my left hook to spanking a disobedient avocado or swatting a bee). Look at the friends of yours who aren’t afraid to keep it 100 and who do not hide their shortcomings. I’d love for you to make the same promise to yourself. Personally, the more I push myself to grow and accomplish WHILE ALSO promising myself to keep it 100, the happier I truthfully am. Make the other 50% to say I’m very happy to be myself – not same fake version or some projected version of who you want to be. Join me in making growth your goal right now but make that only 50% of your goal. There’s no more freeing feeling than to just say f*ck it and work your *ss off BUT while you do you commit to keeping it 100. I know that sounds like a feel good, self improvement thing to write, but this is it! I’m not going to get offended to be the brunt of a joke or made fun of.” I’m not going to hide my flaws. I’m not going to deny that something happened. I’m not going to deny the things that make me uncomfortable or nervous. I’m not going to hide things I might be embarrassed about. Screw it! I’m not going to deny the things that make me me. Say: “I’m going to do everything in my power to be better, fuller, more driven, successful and fulfilled… BUT as I do, I promise myself to keep it 100. I’ve realized that after a lot of time wasted fighting this and wanting to portray myself a certain way because I thought it would mean I would become that way… the most freeing thing you can do is to just say screw it. It’s about saying screw being perfect and certainly screw trying to appear perfect. I think life is simply about owning who you are. That certainly simplifies things, doesn’t it? Maybe life is simply about keeping it 100. Maybe life isn’t about those things either – watches, cars, houses, your hot boyfriend or girlfriend or trips around the world. Maybe life isn’t about trying to appear to be the most put together, the most calm, the most suave, the smoothest cat in the club or the most perfect. Maybe life isn’t about becoming the best, the biggest, the most applauded or recognized, the best looking, the funniest or the most chill. I’ve realized that maybe life isn’t about some of the things I once so confidently thought were the “it” things. Are you keeping it real in your life? Real? Authentic? Raw? 100?
