My next lesson in life is learning how to love myself enough to be a “winner”. Doing my best at everything I do ALL of the time and being content with my own life’s successes while truly knowing my worth and value. It is being my best self without shrinking myself for others so they feel comfortable. Too often in life I felt conditioned to hold myself back. Never allowed to be too smart or too good for fear of ridicule/being ostracized. While I had always been trying to blend in… I don’t feel like I have yet to see my own potential. Whether it was the competition or those “close” to me, that made me feel like I was “doing too much” for simply excelling or being my best self. End of the day, I compete with myself. No one else is in my own lane. So I need to learn how to stand strong in the things I do. Be bold. I’m about ready to turn it all the way up. I want to give life my 100%. I need to not only learn that but internalize it so that I can have what it takes to strive for my own excellence. Whatever that looks like for me. I think another thing that brings some drag onto my own shoulders is feeling like I am unable to be self-disciplined enough to sustain that excellence. Ultimately… all that is fear. Fear of consistency. Fear of attention. Fear of praise. Fear of success. But no more. I am actively choosing to live a life that is fearless and I am choosing to be a better version of me EVERYDAY. I don’t expect the people around me to change, instead I change who is around me. 7 billion people on this planet to choose from… so start being choosey. I stopped forcing relationships that didn’t resonant with me. There’s no beef, just moving forward in life. Being more selective with my energy and really stop forcing myself to do things/go places I don’t feel good about being or being around people that don’t make me feel safe. That means enforcing my boundaries and actively pursuing my peace. Peace of mind. Peace of body. Peace of my soul.
Things I am learning to try to do:
Never let fear hold you back from doing what you are meant to do…
Never allow others to make you feel small…
Surround yourself with people who will allow you to be yourself…
Love yourself enough to win…
Love yourself enough to be consistent towards the things you love or desire…
Love yourself enough to receive your blessings…
Love yourself to make the best decisions for yourself even if it’s the hardest thing you ever have to do…
Loving yourself is accepting your flaws…
Loving yourself DOES NOT mean neglecting the lives around you…
