Hey loves!!
SPIRIT:
✨“ If you say you are something, then you are." ✨
Don't let other people define it for you ( outside approval), change that, or decide that for you.
You OWN that power, don't let someone else.
Story: When I graduated high school (with awards & honors), I did not have a graduation party. I did not have friends and family giving me a cake and balloons and sending me gifts and checks and those cute little inspirational books & stuffed animals. I actually went to another friend's high school graduation party, while everyone celebrated her with the balloons, the cake, the picture taking, and a blessing spoke over her.
To the outside world that sounds pretty sad and disappointing for me.
In my world, my mom and brother and I were so thrilled for my accomplishments in school, the mark I would make in the world, and getting accepted to a prestigious college in Nashville & stepping out of my little small town!
I was a beautiful, talented, smart, driven, young lady and I knew that internally and in the parts where it matters in my core and in my value and my worth.
( thank you mom).
Don't get me wrong I was still a teenager and having no big hoopla celebration & attention sucked & hurt, but that inner dialogue and foundation and strength was nonstop talked about & affirmed!
That is KEY. (Thank you Mom)
✨It's that inner dialogue & worth & value that is the true asset & roots of a person.✨(thanks Mom)
Life has ebbs + flows. Ups & downs. zigzags and freakin curve balls.
It changes- Your titles, money, stuff, friends, likes, dislikes, interests EVERYTHING!
Your value and worth and importance NEVER CHANGES. If you know that deeply.
And since —I’ve lived a full & indescribable and incredible & holy & blessed, holy shit no way!?, cool-ass Amazing & loving & passionate life!
GOD HAS HAD MY BACK! Front & sides! 💕🤸🏽♂️🙏🏾
SO:
If you say I am a great cook
I am a yogi
I am a social advocate
I am a dancer
I am a writer
I am an artist
I am a musician
I am a photographer.
I am a winner.
I am a speaker.
I am an actor.
I AM.....
I am a business expert.
I am a Gardner.
I am a strong smart and beautiful human being!
I am valuable and worthy!
WHATEVER it is.
Own it and be it and do it, if it brings you joy and it's from your soul.
If I say I'm a dancer and 100 other people dance better than me or have a more awards in dance than me ----that doesn't define if I'm a dancer or decide for me if I'm a dancer, and that doesn't determine my value as a dancer.
There are endless examples.
One of my favorites.
I AM SUCCESSFUL. Know why it is my favorite? Because YOU get to define what a successful life is and looks likes and BELIEVE that. Our definitions can all be different!
Go read stories & listen to people share theirs.
✨Outside sources don't decide your dreams, talents, & value.✨
Right THAT ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽 down
post it everywhere + paint it on your wall!!
Example:
✍🏽Big Sean & how he started out.
He treated rap like a business since he was 12. Everyday after school he showed up & did the work to become a signed artist.
✍🏽Go read about Tori Kelly after she was kicked off that music reality show and did her own YouTube stuff and didn't want to sign with any labels or management. Did it her way.
✍🏽Read about Rosie Perez, and how she was in foster care & how she became a actress, Latino activate, & Broadway star.
✍🏽A high school friend got signed to a real deal record label in Nashville and is on tour and on tv and HE CLAIMED THAT SHIT, at 16! It Took like 20 years. He’s doing pandora and Apple Music interviews and signings with fans lined up around the block!
🌿Don't let anyone or anything determine your value or worth or what you are. You claim it & Live it!
🌿I love a good hustle. A drive.
Doing the embarrassing shit to make your goal and dream happen, regardless
Of how hard you have it, your resources or circumstances.
Posting on social media for marketing isn’t a hustle.
I’m talking real deal stuff you do, day in and out and you scratch and claw and persevere through!
Man do I have stories!!! Lord Jesus.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But you do what you gotta do and that is standing in your power!
KNOW THYSELF.
BE RELENTLESS.
