Every morning when you wake up SET AN INTENTION to spend five minutes filling yourself up ---with affirmations and possibility and the mindset that is bold+ believing + has no room for doubt or worry!!

I have to constantly feed my faith & not my fears!!!

It is

A habit + A practice.

Because things on the surface----

Whether it's people 

whether it's your surroundings

whether it's your bank account

Whether it's your to do list 

whether it's your responsibilities

Whether it's how tired you are

Whatever is on the surface and in your world you can see and be part of every day-----surface stuff that challenges you----

It says to you----"how can you believe and think that you can achieve or do this or that because your proof and evidence says otherwise, on the surface!?"

That critic. That worldly part of us. That old belief system.

That is when you stop!!

You Journal

You write

You fill up + feed your faith!!

You write affirmations 

you speak out loud possibility! 

You pray!

You talk & speak LIFE & goodness!

You get real clear cut on your boundaries and what you allow + don't allow in your life.

You Fill up your cup!

You being free,

Terrifies someone who is not free.

Think about that!

Someone that is Playing the game or governed by systems that determine their worth, and then YOU come along AND

are NOT playing that game ----and you are free ---that is terrifying and challenging and freaking them out!

I feel like the more and more we are truly truly truly ourselves, and we stop apologizing for BEING WHO WE ARE, that is where the magic is!

That is where your gifts and talents truly are!

That is the way you can transform the world!

That is being free!

Every time we try to be the way we think were supposed to be and present ourselves to the world, the way we think "we're supposed to"

as a mom

as a wife

as a spiritual being

as a worker

as a business

as a human being

whatever...

It's a game.

It is the same as entertainment casting 101.

You want to get picked to be on a game show? You want to get an acting job?

*they're looking for people that are truly being themselves, because that is where the magic is* you can't recreate that + copy it.

"Playing games" + and these unspoken rules the world runs on, are everywhere.

You can see it in tribes and workplaces and schools and families and communities and people/places/things that govern their life by these systems.

These systems are created + then you are either rewarded or given points or advanced or accepted Bc of them

OR shamed + devalued with the systems used.

*this is where people learn their worth their acceptance and their value.*

Do this. Do that. You will be IN. Don't do this or that. Something is wrong with you.

Oh my goshhhhhhhhhh!

Are you getting this?

So, When Someone comes along and doesn't agree with that system.

And Someone is not owned + defined by those things.

And Doesn't find their worth or value in that system.

THEY ARE FREE.

Guess what-----those people IN + part of that system feel threatened + challenged.

Everybody keeps their life compartmentalized. We have been taught this. It becomes Very fake and very much playing a game.

That is complete opposite of everything I'm about.

God is about love and acceptance and all of us making each other's life easier and filled with love + helping each other out!

Standing UP for things that you are very passionate about!

ACCEPTING grace: you are loved + worthy + enough JUST BC YOU EXIST!

Sacrificial love + compassion!

Being free to be who you are!

My Questions to you, to ask yourself:

1-Do you find your value and identity and worth in love?

In compassion and service and sacrifice?

2- in: stuff?

Work or prestige?

Your looks or body?

Being accepted at work?

Power ?

Family approval + rules + structure?

Your accolades or degrees?

Stickers or point systems or grades?

3-What validates you?

Spend time exploring WHO YOU ARE. A soul life, sets you free.

Your intuition + spirit is uniquely yours +

It's Who you were all along, before the world taught you differently.

4-What if everything you identify with your value + worth was stripped?

Get to the root of who you are on a soul + love level. Explore that.

5-What are you truly aware of?

Are you free?

What does free look like to YOU?

6-What can you say or do or create to get the momentum rolling for YOU TO BE FREE!?

And PS.

The people that are hurting the most are the ones that Jesus would be best friends with!

The people that get shit on and judged

+ are hurting + struggling are who

HE WOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO.

He is Always looking for availability, not ability.
