Just do it

I’ve learned how to built up MOTIVATION AND CONFIDENCE the HARD WAY.

What you face the most in your life is linked to your purpose. Everything happens for a reason!

➡️ Today, this is what makes me wanna help entrepreneurs, remote workers to have the tools that will help them navigate with more ease, peace and certainly more confidence through storms, through challenges - because life will always throw us lemons and it is essential to know how to make lemonade out of them ! 🍋

And this is my superpower ! 🦸🏻‍♀️

I am a very optimistic person, yet I had and still have a huge DRUMBIE OF NEGATIVITY in my head and today I will show you how this actually makes me tougher !

This weekend I flew from Porto-Santo to Funchal for my very first live webinar :

" How to overcome fears and blockers in decision making ". 🔥

My partner came with me as one of our goals as a couple is : following each other on our business trips to demonstrate support and true partnership in everything we undertake.

And we came up with this goal because :

a) We can :)) Since we both work remotely

b) We LOVE travelling

c) We have way to much fun together while empowering each other !

The WHY in setting a goal is crucial in general!

It was the very first time I had cameras and so many people in the same room, staring at me while I was conferencing in a language that I am very far from mastering 🇺🇸 :) my first language being French, and being originally from Albania !

BIG OUT OF COMFORT MOMENTUM !

BIG BADASS MOMENTUM !

I am writing these words here all comfy on my bed while at that precise moment, my brain was trying to ESCAPE from that Growth Mindset momentum in trying to find all SOLUTIONS (😂)possible and imaginable to NOT GO, TO NOT JUMP! 🪂

That conflictual inner voice dialogue was going on repeat :

"Jonaaa, go back to the hotel and do the webinar from your room! Plenty of speakers are doing it too, you'll not loose anything !"

"Jona, you do not express yourself as good as in French, and even in french you fail sometimes at making yourself clear"

"Jona, you will forget the whole speech or the key messages if you do not have notes"

(...)

"I am scared"

"What if I am ridiculous next to the other much more experienced speakers"?

"How will I look"?

"Omg, what have I done" 😂

Fortunately, they did not broadcast what was in my mind otherwise they would call the emergency 🚨

This voice called the EGO, went on and on; trying to avoid me the suffering of a failure, trying to avoid that wound activation, trying to protect me as if I was risking my life....

until the last second the camera man finished the countdown till we went LIVE ! 🎬

And I just JUMPED. 🪂

And I survived.

And I enjoyed so much.

And I refocused on sharing, transmitting important life changing messages and tools instead of focusing on my little ego-centric mind that wants to make it all about ME, MYSELF AND I...

The funny thing is that, I overcame fears and blockers myself that day, while sharing key insights in order to help my audience create their dreamed life :

- overcoming that overthinking

- overcoming that negativity

- working on that inner voice dialogue conflict

- understanding their wounds and patterns

➡️ In order to be able to transform them, in order to be able to HEAL & REVEAL their potential, in order to be able to DARE CREATE instead of seeking perfection, the right moment, the right situation, the right person, the right ... breakdown ?

Let's stop for good auto-sabotaging; complaining while remaining on that same spot....

Let's finally realize that we are all here for a reason and that everything happens for a reason.

The main goal is to find that opportunity, that gift hidden behind every challenge, behind every closed door. Behind every rejection. Never forget that, rejection is protection.

When you plant a seed, you are far from imagining what will come out of it when you'll plant them with intentions from the heart instead of the constant expectations from the ego that keep you STILL.

Still in the same place. Immobile.

Just take a baby step towards what you really want and see how you feel.

After this busy weekend, back to our Sunrise Swims in the 🌊🌅

Back, closer to wilderness, back to a simple lifestyle. 🌿

Back to a chosen happy routine, back to our small group of friends met via the Digital Nomad Community here.

Back, closer to likeminded people that share the same values and mindset ; nature lovers, adventure lovers, travel lovers… passionate remote workers, passionating personalities ☀️

Back, closer to ME.

Back to feeling, WILD & FREE 🙏🏻

😁🌿🌊🌅🌌

➡️ As I said during the webinar of Web Summit Madeira :

« I finally feel I’m in the right place » . 💓

And my purpose is to help you find YOURS!

Thanks to all and everyone that joined that day and to the ones that support me from the start, exactly one year ago! 🌟

I can’t believe that exactly one year from now was the start of that breakthrough, after overthinking this move for YEARS, I finally made that JUMP 🪂

- Was it scary AF ? YES ! 🤯

- Was I CERTAIN that everything would end up to be safe ? NOPE 🥲

- Did I get some cuts and did I bleed pretty bad at some point ? YES 🤣🤣

But, it’s that suffering that transforms...eventually at some point.

If you decide to.

It’s that breakthrough that teaches us through :

- the same situations in different setups and forms,

- same people in different envelopes 📨

Over and over again 🔂

Till we eventually decide to finally get the message 💌

Till we eventually start deciding.

Till we eventually start choosing CHANGE over FEAR.

Till we eventually start with ourselves 🌹

Everything happens for a reason 💫 # EHFARLIFE

For every change, for every mistake made, for every decision that was taken against my gut feeling, for every decision against me..

A shift happened inside of me first 🌪️. It was growing slowly but surely for years until it became that huge tornado destroying everything on the way to make me create something closer to me, something real.

The violence of my inner frustration became so big, that I provoked that huge shift in my life externally in order to finally make that step.

In order to stop postponing that jump, that huge tornado I provoked myself, had to push me through that edge.

It is always like this for big life transitions. It is never going to be easy.

- The key is to have the tools to be able to understand your emotions, and navigate through them while you MOVE. Instead of letting them misguide you, you will start to use them as a compass and make them become your POWER !

And this process is only possible via self-discovery, through learning, doing, experimenting, failing, re-creating, re-starting, re-inventing yourself with audacity !

- The transformation appears when your fears fuel that COURAGE burning inside of you, instead of being paralyzed by them. Instead of being paralyzed to take that different action, instead of testing that new habit.

In behaving the same way, you'll get the same results OVER AND OVER AGAIN ! 🔂

If you don’t JUMP, you’ll never land.

Don’t let FEAR keep you STUCK.

Don’t exist, live. Don’t hide, shine. ☀️

If you are waking up, thinking that there’s got to be more to your life, than it is :

BELIEVE ! 🔥

But to get to THAT LIFE, you gonna have to MAKE THAT JUMP!

Decide to use your natural gifts and talents to create the life you love.

The only way for you to soar, is you got to make that jump. 🪂

Ok but, what comes next ? 💭

➡️ Private group coaching session for the VIP’s of Madeira Web Summit to come!

Date will be realized 🔜 #staytuned 🔥
