The Fire You Feed
There is a fire inside you.
It was there the day you were born — a tiny flicker of defiance, of energy, of purpose. It doesn’t always burn the same. Some days it blazes hot, raging against everything in its path. Other days, it’s nothing but embers — quiet, tired, struggling to stay lit beneath the pressure of doubt, fear, stress, and pain.
But here's what matters most: it’s never gone.
It’s always there — waiting for you to rise again and feed it.
You see, the fire inside you doesn’t run on motivation. Motivation is fleeting. It’s a spark, not fuel. One bad day, one distraction, one voice of doubt can snuff out motivation like it was never there. What your fire needs is something much more powerful — discipline, vision, and a reason.
🔥 The World Won’t Feed It For You
Let’s be real: the world doesn’t care about your dreams the way you do.
It doesn’t care that you’re tired.
It doesn’t care that you’re overwhelmed.
It doesn’t care that you feel stuck.
This world will either test your fire or try to extinguish it. And every single day, it’s going to ask you one question:
Are you going to show up anyway?
It won’t always be fair. You might have to work twice as hard as someone else just to stand in the same room. You might carry scars that nobody else sees. But the answer to that question — whether or not you show up — determines the life you build.
🔥 You Decide What Fire to Feed
Inside you, there are two flames.
One burns with fear, excuses, self-doubt, and complacency.
The other burns with strength, vision, grit, and hunger.
Every decision you make — to rise or hit snooze, to speak up or stay quiet, to push or fold — feeds one of those fires.
You don’t wake up powerful. You don’t wake up disciplined. You become that by feeding the right fire — the one that refuses to settle, the one that wants to leave something behind when you’re gone.
Because no one becomes unstoppable by accident.
🔥 How to Keep Your Fire Alive
Feed it with movement. Even when you’re tired. Especially when you’re tired.
Feed it with truth. Be real about what you want and what you’re doing to get it.
Feed it with clarity. Remind yourself why you started.
Feed it with defiance. When the world pushes you, push back.
Feed it with faith — in yourself, in your calling, in the process.
And when life gets loud, painful, and messy?
That’s when you lean in.
Because there is no calm before greatness — only chaos and the ones willing to step through it.
🔥 You Were Born for More
You weren’t made to coast. You weren’t built to just exist.
You were designed to conquer, to create, to overcome.
So start today.
Even if it’s not perfect. Even if you don’t have it all figured out. Even if you’ve failed a hundred times before.
Light the match. Feed the flame.
Be louder than your doubt.
Move different.
Rise rogue.
And let the world feel the fire you’ve kept alive while no one was watching.
Fuel & Fire is here daily to remind you that you are built for more.
