There is only 1 you… Happy 11/11!
I’ve had people doubt my skills because of how I look, talk, and advocate for myself. I’m not the one to play office politics nor do I hang with people because of their status. I’m me and that’s what matters.
Nothing else…
In 30 years of life I’ve come to learn the importance of finding your village. Everyone will not like you, and that’s ok. Some people will purposely try to stunt your growth, but what’s yours is yours....
Simply put…
Stay true to yourself. What is for you, will be for you and you only. NO ONE will be able to take it, because it already has your name on it.
There’s something we must do..
As much greatness there is waiting for us in the universe, we still have to do our part. For example, if you won a million dollars today it wouldn’t be very beneficial if you didn’t know how to work with and manage the money. There is a process we must undergo to get what we desire.
Look back 10 years…
It is my hope that the majority of us reading this today can see pieces of ourselves that have evolved. There is no perfect person walking this earth, yet we are on a continuous journey to become better daily. With that said, you may not be where you want to be… but thank goodness you are not in the same place you were last year, the year before, and ten years before that.
Accept, embrace, love, and acknowledge the journey while DOING your part by working towards it all while staying true TO YOU. Be ready to make sacrifices, sometimes lose sleep, and sometimes miss events you wish to attend… The journey is not always easy, but its not always hard either. Surround yourself with love and people who push you to your purpose; that is your village.
Happy 11/11 day, I hope you are able to make great use of the motivational energy by starting whatever it is you want to do. Let fear go, and be like Nike…JUST DO IT!
