Rebel Requirements (the truth about what it takes)

 

Trust is the first requirement if you want to be a rebel.

You’ve got to trust yourself, even when it goes against the flow.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently…”

You may be judged, but here’s the thing. . .

They’re already judging you for something or other, why not have it be for doing something you love, something you believe in?

Free from judgement and liberated from your fears, what would you be, do and have in your life? 

And I’m not talking about fighting against things, although that’s what we mostly think about a rebel. I’m talking about fighting FOR something; that thing that is important to you, and makes your heart sing.

That kind of fight takes heart and soul, and the courage of a true rebel spirit.

 

If you want to be a rebel…

Say what you want to say, and fuck the ‘right’ thing.

Trust your intuition, it’s more reliable than the masses.

“It’s pure instinct that makes me rebel every time someone tries to control my life and hand out more rules.” – Simone Elkeles

Put yourself first, for the good of all.

Wear your heart on your sleeve, and tell folks you love ’em.

Do what gives you pleasure.

Open up, share, be vulnerable. Let people in and they might surprise you by taking a stand right next to you.

Make the first move, tell the truth, be the last to let go of a hug.

Ask more questions. Question authority. Do it without apology.

“What you want can be yours. But you must first know what it is you want.” – Libby Bray

Own your desires, and ask for what you want.

  1. I’m willing to fight for my right to spread the message of “Choose Love Now” in order to awaken and empower as many as I can! Thank you Sandi for reaffirming my rebel tendencies (turns out that’s my strongest motivating factor on the Fascination Advantage report too!).

  2. I’m willing to fight to have a lifestyle I enjoy and where I am free. I found out the hard way – through a downturn in the economy that it’s so much better to live beneath your means. I never want to be tied to a job or an asset like a home that keeps me tied to cycle of slaving away at job just to maintain it. My rebel tendency is to run from a lot of structure and authority. Working from home helps satisfy my need for less structure and more freedom.

    1. AngelaArtemis We sometimes have to go through those challenging life lessons to get to where we need to be, don’t we? I can relate to your comment because I went through years of that too before I became self-employed. I now say I’m the longest boss I’ve ever had! 😉
