To be honest with you, it’s been sort of a rough week. I’ve actually struggled trying to figure out what to write to you. I started many posts, but they just didn’t seem right. They didn’t get to the essence of what I wanted to say.
You are good enough. You are worthy. Don’t let anyone else tell you that you are not. Don’t let people pigeonhole you because they think they know you. In reality only you really know yourself and you are too big to be defined. You can’t squeeze yourself into any one category because you are much more than categories.You are much more than words.
Your friends and family might feel like they know exactly who you are. They’ve put you in a category in their lives. They’ve stuck you in a little slot. They expect you to behave in a certain way and to say certain things. They think they know you. Sometimes they even act like they know you better than you know yourself, but do they really?
You are the only one that knows who you are. You know your dreams and your passions. You know what scares you and what lights you up. You know the secret bad habits that you hide from the world. You know the small good deeds you do that go unnoticed.
Why do you keep shrinking back into someone else’s idea of who you should be? Why do you let them make you feel so small? You are not small. You have a piece of the divine within you.
Are you afraid? … we all are.
Are you unsure? … we all lose our footing at times.
Do you think they won’t love the real you? … if they don’t, they don’t deserve you.
You have a lot of questions, but guess what? You also have a lot of answers. You actually know the answers to your questions. You only need to trust yourself.
It’s time for you to start opening your mouth wide and saying what you think. It’s time to announce who your are. [Tweet “It’s time to claim your space … your authentic, lovely space in the world. “]
This is your life. It’s the only one you get. Live it like only you can with your arms spread wide ready to embrace the possibilities.
