note: mind attacks will occur

Who told you there wouldn't be attacks on your mind? You thought you'd set out to be great without spiritual warfare? Without atmospheric pressure directly proportionate to your hope and vision, declaration and imagination? If the soulful journey teaches us anything it's how to fight for the intangible foundation of what will be your tangible success.

The future is fetal within you. For this very reason there are creatures of contradicton and unfulfillment poised on their haunches before every open door, water broken, and dialated cervix so that your purpose will never reach potential of impactful innovation.

Every day you are in an invisible fight just beneath your skin and skull to preserve the pith of your raison d'être: the blueprints that use your learned lessons and overcome struggles to build impregnable structures for others to take shelter and learn the truth.

Sometimes you have to hear from yourself in multiple tenses. Read old journals and pen a sentence (paragraph?) or two each day in your current journal. Find old notes on your phone and type a thought when one comes. Listen to old audio recordings of yourself and speak a new poem into your mic from time to time. Maintain your relevance.

Realize that your existence is building worlds—some of which can only be seen once you've detangled and extricated completely from an experience.
