I loved this concept the second I saw it and had to share it with you guys. 👊🏻 Especially in the age of social media, our lives are more filtered to onlookers than ever before. Every reel we scroll through, it appears as if everyone is performing at the peak of physical humanity… What we don’t see is the countless hours of struggle, practice, trial and error, and failure that goes in to achieving something truly great. All we see most times is the end result, which can leave us extremely frustrated with our current situation… The antidote? Become obsessed with the process. When you build a Devotion to the pain, the suffering, the failures, and accept them all as part of the process, you will find a renewed excitement for the path that leads to Excellence. Then take it one step further and post the entire journey for your followers to see. Every failure. Every tear. Every frustration. Because when you finally showcase The Impossible, everyone will know exactly what it took to get you there, and more importantly, that they can do the same… Welcome to The Impossible ❤️‍🔥 Best, Matt

“We fight for the ability to control everything in our lives, only to discover our own sails can hinder the progress of anything.” - Austin Like a ship gliding on top of the waves of life, with its sails set against the wind; trying to force our way into an evolved sense of self, while controlling everything around us, is how you can promise yourself a failed venture. There are tasks that are under your control. Lives along the way, which could use a sentence or two in order to grow. Alongside your personal responsibilities, lies these moments to grasp onto something deeper than yourself. But the art of evolving into something greater than your current form, is the ability to let go of what is holding you back. Chains clamping so hard onto your arms and legs, as if the world itself held them together. To break free: is to constantly question your commitments and your desires. Adapt. Overcome. Conquer. Take Care, Austin

"Let my stance in this world be judged upon that of you witnessing what I shall become." Austin Douglas Looking like it is another year of chances taken, and many chances missed. Opportunities that stepped to my door, yet were blatantly or willingly ignored. Grandiose Monstrosities lay dormant at my fingertips, wondering potentials waiting of the day to be realized. It has been a war of attrition against your former self, Austin. Days of triumph and of feeling like a million bucks. But days of slow and sludgy movements, and spending needlessly away your first million bucks. But today, things have changed. A new task has been implemented. A new dawn shall emerge upon the meadows of which I sit in front of. Yearning for a field of beautiful flowers, I see only a plain of plainness. A vista torn into moments of strive and victory. Where the birds sing, but the dead bodies moan. Mediocrity shall never wave its dull sword across my path again; for I yield such a driving force for a brighter future. Books shall be written of these triumphs against the grains of unrealized potential. (Possible foreshadowing?...) Take Care, Austin

What would you chase if you knew you wouldn’t fail? That’s the question we all need to start with. It gives you a direct line to your Purpose… We all know the answer to that question, so why do we choose to not Pursue it? Because we might fail?? Yeah, we will fail. Repeatedly. Publicly. Shamefully. And that’s ok, because with every Failure is an Opportunity to Learn and Grow in the only ways that will drive us toward that ultimate Success. Failure is the Prerequisite for Success. Embrace it.

So often, one simple question can completely derail us from pursuing a Passion. “What if?…” What if I Fail? What if I lose? What if I get hurt? What will people think? This Fear can be consuming and controlling if we allow it. It can keep us from chasing every Opportunity we want from Life. And for what? To stay safe? To not be embarrassed? To not Fail?… Consider this…at the end of your Life, will you tell the stories where you played it safe? Where you gave up Opportunity? Or will you tell the stories where you took a chance? The stories where you bet it all on yourself and your potential. The stories where you had no idea the outcome, and still chose to follow that path. I believe most, if not all, would choose the latter. So allow me to propose this concept. What if we change the ending of that question? What if you Succeed? What if you Win? What if you inspire others along the way? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?… There lies your Purpose.
