Read this when you want to give up

Life gives us so many reasons to give up and say forget it all. I know… I understand… I have been there. After having failure after failure and hearing so many people tell me what I’m doing wrong. It can get disheartening once you look at your current status and everything you want to be true.

I want to be the first to say… it is ok to feel the way you feel. It’s ok to have your moments of fear or concern… it’s all natural and normal. Don’t let anyone tell you it is not.

Buttttttttt,

I will say, it is not ok to get up. What I want you to do when you are feeling like nothing is working out for you… or you are failing at life… is recite these words to yourself.

I am perfect the way that I am.

I can do what is causing me problems.

I just need to figure out how.

I am.

I am not trying.

I am.

I am successful.

I am on a journey.

I am arriving.

Do what YOU want to do, PERIODT!

There are going to be people who feel they know what is best for you and your life… and we may even find ourselves believing some of the things they have to say and the opinions that come out of their mouths.

We always say we aren’t persuaded by other people… but it’s usually easier said than done. Especially, when it comes from someone close to us; like a parent or significant other.

When you are faced with these moments, know that it is only a test to see how strong you are able to be for yourself. People will always have something to say about what you do or what you think. But I’m here to tell you today…. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO! No one else has to live in your body and mind… and no one else has to answer to your purpose; BUT YOU.

You were given passion and purpose for a reason… please do not let it die because someone else doesn’t see it.
