Hey everyone, it’s your boy coming at you with another real talk post. Today, I’m diving deep into something I’ve been wrestling with lately – what happened to fierceness?

So, picture this: I was in a situation where I felt like a total victim. You know, one of those moments where you feel like the universe is just dumping on you, and there’s nothing you can do about it. It wasn’t just one person or one thing. It felt like a whole bunch of stuff piling up. Instead of going down that road and feeling sorry for myself, I stopped. I took a step back.
I realized I was losing my edge, that fire in my belly that keeps me going. I was letting fear and self-doubt creep in, and before I knew it, I was stuck in this negative loop.
First, I had to pause. Seriously, just stop everything. Stop overthinking, stop the negative self-talk, just stop. Then, I started to dig into what was really going on. Why was I feeling like a victim? What was I afraid of?
It was tough, but I started to see a pattern. I was spreading myself too thin. Taking on too much, saying “yes” to everything, and not really focusing on what mattered. So, I decided to have a direct conversation with myself. No more playing the victim. I needed to initiate the change I wanted to see. After some soul-searching, I realized I needed to reclaim my focus.
Finding My Focus
This was the game-changer, folks. I started to cut out the things that were draining my energy and not serving me. Said “no” to things I didn’t really want to do. It wasn’t easy, but it was necessary.

- Gathered my thoughts. Took some time to really think about what I wanted and where I wanted to go.
- Reassessed my priorities. What’s really important to me? What do I want to achieve?
- Started saying “no.” This was tough, but crucial. I had to protect my time and energy.
- Focused on what truly mattered. The projects, the people, the goals that really lit me up.
- Worked on being more present. Instead of constantly worrying about the future or dwelling on the past.
It wasn’t an overnight fix, but slowly but surely, I started to feel that fire again. That fierceness, that drive, it was coming back.
This whole experience taught me that fierceness isn’t about being aggressive or mean. It’s about being true to yourself, standing up for what you believe in, and not letting fear hold you back. Also I realized that the way to get my passion back is by doing something that is fun and restores me.
So, if you’re feeling lost, stuck, or like you’ve lost your edge, I encourage you to take a step back. Find your focus. Reclaim your fire. It’s in there, I promise. You just gotta dig a little. And remember that living life with courage, determination, and conviction. Accepting that defeat is part of life. It’s time to tap into your inner fierceness and grace.
Stay fierce, my friends!
