I now understand what it means to “Speak Life” into oneself. Despite the naysayers, you must speak positivity to yourself, and give yourself a blood transfusion. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent“.
THINK ABOUT THAT!
Wake up each day with Intention. Today, I’m going to feel better about myself. Today, I will not wallow in self-pity about what happened to me. Today, I will stop making excuses. Today…, Today…, Today….
You must wake up each day with an INTENTION. You must live intentionally.
I intend to focus on what I have. I intend to have a grateful heart. I intend to love. I intend to forgive and not allow anyone to live “rent-free” in my head. I intend to do what I say I intend to do. I might struggle but I will do my best to stay intentional till it becomes second nature to me.
Secondly, you must speak “Life”, into yourself. Each morning or whenever you awake, look yourself in the mirror and say, “I am capable, I am enough, I am beautiful, I am handsome, I can do this (whatever “this”, means), and most importantly, BELIEVE IT! Why speak “Life and Positivity into yourself and you do not believe your own words? Well now let’s be realistic: Maybe, in the beginning, you are struggling to believe but as time goes on and you gain confidence and your voice becomes stronger, you WILL start to believe your own words.
Practice does “make perfect”. If you practice negativity, then negativity is what you will get good at. On the other hand when you “practice” positivity, positivity is what you will get better at. Remember, I am talking about YOU and not about depending on someone else to be positive to you: “Speak Life into Yourself”.
Now there’s another catalyst: The voices in your head that you’ve allowed to live “Rent Free” in your head. The voices that have told you, “You will never amount to nothing, You are ugly, You know you can’t accomplish that, Look at you, you are crazy to even think someone like you can ever get out of this neighborhood or this way of life, You think talking "white" will get you out of this neighborhood: You are just like the rest of us, Why are you talking like white People, You will always be trash, You are nothing, He can’t love you, You are not good enough, You are too black, You are too white,” The naysayers are envious and jealous.
THEY LIED!
They Lied! Yes, they did because of their own insecurities. They do not want you to let your light out. They are scared of your light: In fact, they are scared “shitless’ of your light. If your light comes out, it will shine on their darkness and reveal who they really are.
Why are you listening to someone who has never accomplished their own dream? Why are listening to someone who is scared to death of seeing you rise up out of the ashes of your situation?
Yes, that doesn’t make sense, does it? It doesn’t. Period.
SPEAK LIFE INTO YOURSELF.
Each morning when I wake up, I thank God because I acknowledge my blessings: waking up: I'm in a very comfortable bed, got eyes to see (through my glasses), my body is able to move, etc. Do you see why I wake up with positivity? It all starts with gratitude and then, eventually, the things we don’t have take up less of our thoughts because we become focused on what we do have.
Fast forward: I’m just about to walk out the door: Now, this is when the magic happens. I have a full-length mirror in my garage and as I walk out that’s when I look at my full image and talk to the woman in the Mirror,” and I say this Every day, “Damn Girl, You look good!” Now go show the world the God in you”.
My God-given power unfurls as I strut out and into my car to start a day propelled by God’s guidance and the spirit of positivity.
Take note people and try it. Don’t discard this until you’ve tried it at least three times.
“ Practice Makes Perfect”!
Blessings 🌹
