Who are you?

Most of us think that we know who we are. 

Here my beliefs.

My values.

My me-ness.

My family.

My people.

My story.

My vibes.

When we put our value or identity and worth into a relationship 

or a title or 

what we do day in and day out or 

a career or our personality or looks or roles—— and then it changes, we can feel lost.

Like Jay Williams, the basketball player who was drafted right out of college into the NBA at 21 years old with a $4 million contract.

He woke up every day at a specific time and practiced and worked out and went to school and came home.

Every day!!!!

Same routine!!!

He had a regimen + controlled life and a path laid out for him. 

A blueprint.

His identity was basketball. 

Period. In every aspect.

And it all got challenged & taken away after a bad motorcycle accident. His blueprint & identity & talents.

Whether it’s a marriage or relationship or job that you’ve had forever

 or you are the artist 

Or you are the funny one ....whatever it is.

Maybe you’ve been married forever and now you are not.

Maybe you’re about to retire and you feel lost.

Maybe you’ve always had a close knit family and your parents have suddenly passed.

Maybe your entire life is devoted to being a parent and you know nothing else.

Fill in YOUR BLANK.

We think——nah. Nah.

I know me. 

I’m not my work. 

My role. 

My looks. My stuff. 

I’m more than just that!!

We know a lot of stuff mentally but then when it’s reflected and you have to experience it and feel through it —-that’s where the greatest lessons come. 

MASTER LESSONSHAPPEN!

The lenses of power, prestige, what success looks like & is——-Thru the world or other peoples eyes will always be different than what your soul is telling you IT IS FOR YOU.

I’ve Had a few experiences in my life where I lived and breathed something that felt like my identity.

Working. All. The god. Damn. Time. 

Being really really good at something & living & breathing it-and being known for that, mostly. 

Being the happy + outgoing one.

And then when it completely switches and it’s all you’ve done and known --

and 

it’s taken away

Or

You Walk away

Or

The Season or phase changes...

You-

really walk through the fire and truly have an opportunity to connect with your spirit and get really clear on the essence of your being. 

*The essence and truth of your being has nothing to do with your personality traits or 

degrees or title 

or your bank account or your roles in life.*

How beautiful Oprah said —-I’m paraphrasing-

I want to walk down the street and be so FULL.

Not from an ego standpoint.

But so full of love and feeling my soul and living my truth + PROUD of who I am ——-that it’s overflowing so much that I have enough to share with others.

Hello!!!

That is more than a mood!!

It’s waking up OWNING & LIVING YOUR LIGHT & worth—-so bright!!!

Affirm:

People see me coming down the street and I AM FULL.

It’s overflowing and it is so much that 

it’s flowing onto them!!!

Takeaway: 

You are an original not a copy !!!

so knowing that ——you’re a masterpiece and God imagined you and created you in intricate detail and 

THEN created you ——think of it like an artist !!!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

They imagine + think about what they’re going to create and paint and THEN they actually do it!!

That is how God created you!!!!!

So then when you can understand that ——you have that much value and worth!!!

Just being born. 

If you think anything else- shift your mindset. 

☀️Don’t hustle for your worthiness!!!!☀️

😇Don’t apologize or tone down your greatness!😇

💎You got to own that, in this lifetime!💎

It’s not your house

It’s  not your social media page 

it’s not the degrees that you have 

It’s not your career highlights

it’s not the size of your pants 

it’s not how much money you make it’s not what people think of you, when you walk down the street 

It’s not your smarts or traits...

And it is not being famous or a celebrity ...

and if you REALLY KNOW—-that God created you specifically TO BE ALIVE IN + AT this exact moment of time and you were spoken over ——-is profound !!

🔥It is Breathtaking to soak and live and breathe in that in your spirit!!!🔥

 💎💎Connect to that truth in your freaking soul everyday!!!💎💎💎

and meditate and pray in that energy!!! 

That truth!!!

Because.

Then.

You are enough. 

All the time. ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL

THEEEEEEEEEEE TIMEEEEEEE!

Period. {mic drop 🎤}

Extra:

And when you accept that and meditate on that and pray on that ——ask yourself:

1-how can you ever ever ever let a person, place, a job, a thing devalue you? talk down to you? lessen you? Allow you to disconnect from your spirit and truth of who you are?

And now a word from busta rhymes:

“If you didn’t have challenges you wouldn’t even have a journey or a story to tell. 

You won’t learn the value of the struggle or the rewards of the success when they come.

 I was definitely taught that failure is not an option and I attribute that to my mother and father. 

We all go through bullshit but at the end of the day we also know that it could be a lot worse so don’t run around and complain. 

Don’t bitch. 

Resolve it because you have no choice. 

Especially if people are relying on you because you’re the source of everyone’s well-being.”

“I don’t like to be around anything that condones or causes bullshit.”

-busta  rhymes-

Pretty much 🖤

Make sure one of your hobbies is not partaking in BS and people/places/things that steal your peace or joy.

🚀 you have bigger and more profound things to do with your time & heart.💋

Create boundaries and practice sticking to them so you can protect your peace and protect your joy.

When someone shows you who they are

When an environment shows you what it is about

BELIEVE THEM THE FIRST TIME.

Chaos & drama & draining shit, doesn’t belong in your world.

Recognize.

Adjust your sails.

You get a choice to invest into the great wonderful things in your life or to waste it being defensive and pissed off and partaking in people’s shit!

💗walk in the FULLNESS OF WHO YOU are and have so much love and soul and confidence IN YOUR BEING & cup—-that It overflows and blesses everyone else!💗
