Finding The Fuel

It is 10:08pm. My eye continues to heal. My mind is exhausted. My energy is lacking.

I’m currently sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, and watching The Golden Girls. As the jokes over slices of cheesecake and Blanche’s latest date bring laughter from the tube, I find myself daydreaming as I hear the wind howl outside the window.

2020 certainly has been a year to say the least. And has been a year where I’ve had the opportunity to lay lower than normal and keep myself from being involved with “extra curricular activities.”

My mind is flooded with a million thoughts. Thoughts of things that need to be accomplished within the month, within the week, within the day, within the hours that are continuing to go “tick tock” on the grandfather clock keeping me company as I lay here writing this very post.

What will 2021 look like? When will be out of the woods with this pandemic? How is everyone in this world going to continue surviving after many of their livelihoods have been uprooted?

The negative energy of the world and its current happenings (many that have been happening for many months) are ones that I find myself struggling with on the daily to try and combat.

It’s not easy.

In fact, it’s probably the hardest thing in the world for me, especially given that I have the nickname “Mr. Sunshine.”

How does one keep going on with life when the threat of negativity, fear, unknown, and hatred linger around every corner?

It’s the million dollar question and one that only YOU, yourself can answer.

What’s my secret? Is there a secret?

No, there’s no secret.

For me, it’s all about finding the fuel that ignites me from within.

My fuel is helping people. My fuel is making sure those I care about in life are supported with love. My fuel is finding new ways to spread kindness.

On January 4, 2021, you will all find out what my newest tactic will be for sharing this love and happiness with the world.

It’s been weird not doing anything this year that emulate my principles of love and kindness; however, after the BIG year 2019 was for me, it felt appropriate to take a little break.

And, as all of the back-end work continues to come together in these last few weeks before the official release, I can honestly say that 2021 will be an even bigger year for me.

A HUGE undertaking that makes me excited, nervous, and every other adjective in the book.

But I can’t wait to share it with you.

So, if you haven’t already, mark your calendars for January 4, 2021.

Find your fuel. Find what makes your heart sing with so much love and happiness that you need to share it with others.

The world is a dark place with stories of coldness. The light inside ourselves can fuel the fire for others and ignite the waves and ripples of change that can make the biggest difference for you…for me…for everyone.

Find your fuel.

It’s time for us to ignite the fires within ourselves and go out to share that light with the world.

Fuel the fires of change.

Let’s go.

Sprinkle sunshine always,

JP!
