Riley’s Raw Thoughts: The only thing that is certain in life
Something on my mind & heart:
The only thing certain about life is the fact that it’s uncertain.
Change is the only thing we can truly count on, other than being born and one day dying.
- How you live will change.
- Who is in your life will change.
- What you get worked up about will change.
Take a moment and say thanks for life, exactly as it is now.
Because tomorrow, it won’t be the same…
Lean in.
What I am building & learning:
I’ve been building a website for too long now lol, among other things.
It’s taught me a lot, as has everything else I’ve been up to.
The biggest thing I am learning?
“People romanticize their plans but dread the execution. The magic you’re looking for is in the work you’re avoiding.”
Creating your dreams is going to take longer than you thought, and more work than you thought.
You are going to question if it’s worth it, and if you can do it.
- You will get in your head.
- You will procrastinate.
- You may throw fits.
Keep going.
Above all else, I am learning the importance of execution. Of doing something every day in the pursuit of my vision.
How I recently won & failed:

“When a man is prey to his emotions, he is not his own master.”

My win and failure this week are intertwined.
I consider myself a very resilient person, however there are times when life “Eats my lunch.”
The last week or so I have “fallen off” as I’ve confronted some incredibly painful experiences, situations, and emotions.
My win – I confronted them. I don’t chicken out when life get’s hard, and I face things head on.
My failure – I let my emotions become my puppet master, and in the process let go of momentum I created with many months of hard work prior.

No matter what the next few weeks bring, I will remember that I always have a choice – and act accordingly.
Story & Lesson: Heal what hurt you, or bleed on those that didn’t cut you
We all have our own story. All of us have experienced some pretty painful things if we allow ourselves to pull back the curtain.
That whole saying “Time heals all wounds.” is a crock of Shit.
Time creates space between you, and the painful experience… but it does not “heal” it.
Healing is only done when we can fully say that experience no longer influences how we show up today.
I was speaking to my mentor about times when I have felt betrayed, and he said “People only betray you, when you betray yourself.”
By me holding onto this betrayal trauma, I have not only attracted more people that betray me but I in turn betrayed myself.
Whatever has happened in your past, face it.
If you don’t, it will be the reflection in your life facing you.
You will “bleed on those that didn’t cut you” because you haven’t healed what hurt you.
Break your own cycles, I believe in you (:
You aren’t alone.

Calling all the free thinkers: Join the others like you
Humans need each other, we grow and thrive when we have a tribe.
Unfortunately men & women nowadays are suffering in silence…
To many people are being “lone wolves” in their lives.

It starves, and dies alone.

You were born for this.
See you on the inside.
