The invincibility year.

This is my invincibility year. How do I know?

Last year I was absolutely destroyed. Obliterated.

I’ve never been broken down this much, I’ve never been so powerless, I’ve never been so broken, I’ve never been so lost.

And I know, from past experience, that whenever you reach the absolute bottom of something, the only way is up.

So, the point is to know, what is the limit that you’re able to descend to?

The last time I sunk low was when I was in the finger painting academy 10 years ago. And even that didn’t break me. But what I learned when I touched that rock bottom, was that, there was no other way but up.

So, now, I believe that I’m going through a season of integration, of all the tools I built, all the tools I discovered through the last 10 or so years and I’m having to re-build myself and every brick so that instead of simply being an incredible building, one becomes a majestic sky-scraper – touching both earth and sky. As my current expansion has forced me to go higher, and by consequence, dig deeper into my roots in order to muster the strength and energy to go higher.

But, as the saying goes, “what is to give light must endure burning “, and that… that is painful.

If you look at 99% of candles out there, there is a metal base holding the wick. An invincibility year is going to fortify your foundation so that you can burn without wobble.

The invincibility year is the year after the Destruction year. Where everything crumbles and you get to see what was behind the rigid obsolete paint. The building blocks behind the scaffolding. The invincibility year, is the year were everything falls down and you see that not everything was lost, and that the hard work you efforted is still standing and is demanding to be applied in a new way than you have been applying it so far.

It’s about understanding the new way to go forward with the new configuration you’ve got, and fully embracing a path forward towards a new destination, despite the impression that everything is doomed.
