You are a badass every day – Jen Sincero

Make a determination to grow a part of your daily life

How many out there have doubted their abilities? Me. 

How many raise their hands and find it difficult at times? Me.

There are no chapters in the book. It gives you the freedom to turn to any page and read a piece. Sometimes fewer words get through. Long expositions become tiresome. Jen Sincero goes on with what can feel like prompts. I like these without question. My back becomes straight. I read it out loud to myself. Then they feel believable and I find it easier to follow the wisdom, the knowledge, and the thoughts and understand the weight behind the carefully chosen words.

An encyclopedia of motivation and inspiration. Stretching out our arms as if to assure and reassure ourselves that this is my place and I own it. My world.

The world is out there and I want to show it that I am here. I exist. See me and I see you. Can I do things I didn’t think I could do about myself? I want to try my wings and I’m doing that by writing my blog. That way I can reach out with my words. Because that’s exactly what Jen Sincero wants the reader to do. Go your way, your own way. The one you are meant to walk. If it gets tricky, with the right attitude you can find your way back. If it doesn’t fit, there’s more to follow and listen to.

 Badass, kick ass, believe in yourself. Struggle. Questioning. All goes round and round without no end in sight sometimes. But give yourself some credit and go for more.

The cover of the book is bright blue, or do we call it turquoise. Turquoise, that color stands out more. “Every day” is written in yellow text. It lights up. The contrasts are clear. There’s nothing about the future there. It’s all about today. Already today. There’s no need to wait. We wait far too often anyway. In the car queue, in the shop, in the telephone queue, on the waiting list to join an organization or similar.

Badass, stretch. Every day. Look at the world from above. You can own your world. It’s yours.

Stand with both feet firmly on the ground. There is more strength in us than we dare to believe. Every day is a new gift and there is certainly something to celebrate. Small or big. Every house starts with a sketch, which becomes detailed and then you see the small steps and it is with the help of these that you then see the big one around the corner, within reach.

Aim, try over and over and again and again and learn from your life. Erase the word failure from your vocabulary. It is a stepping stone of learning. Nothing else. It is something positive. 

I could write about even more thoughts that Jen shares. I do not. I choose to let you wonder for yourself what the book can provide. How the sense of you changes and thoughts are brought to live. 

Why reveal everything to you what the book is about? Then you will not undergo the magical change that I think you should try.

Conclusion: there is so much more power in you than you ever expected.
