What Do You Wish You Believed About Yourself?

I wish I believed I didn't take things so personal.

I wish I believed I didn't take things so personal.

I know ya'll are probably wondering WTF does this even mean. Read it aloud, five times if you have to. Let's try it together. Ready. Set. Go...

What do I wish I believed about myself? I asked this question at my event Nourish. I had no idea what this question would really do. How it would open up so many hearts to prepare for healing. I had the ladies write their answer on the mirror simply because, well, I didn't have a white board. I had no idea that this would be so therapeutic. Something about writing on a mirror. It was like facing all your insecurities and telling them to fuck off. I was amazed at how transparent we all were. At that moment, we all were naked. Almost like a fresh canvas waiting to be painted on.

I wish I believed I didn't take things so personal. Now, let's dissect this. I'm a very emotional human. I'm using the word "human" because I feel at this moment it's the right word and you can connect with me better. Being a creative has been exciting and yet overwhelming at times. You put yourself out there and you get a lot of no's. The no's can either make or break you. Early on in my podcast, I got very discouraged when I wouldn't get a response. I let it trick me into thinking I wasn't good enough. I had to learn that the no's didn't mean I wasn't talented, it just meant I wasn't where I needed to be in order for networks to take me on as talent or for other talent to jump at the chance of working with me. I'm not even sure why I was so fixated on the no's because I got a lot yes's and they turned out to be great connections that I can now use to help me further along in this journey. I wrote my truth on the mirror that day a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Writing this on the mirror allowed me to live in my truth. I wish I believed I didn't take things so personal. The truth is I do, but I'm working on my shit and I know that people who don't know me don't have personal vendettas against me. That alone helps me. Don't let your fear feed on your mind. You have to work hard, earn your respect, and even then you'll still get some no's, but at least you'll be secure enough to know it has nothing to do with you. I urge all of you to write on a mirror. Ask yourself: What do I wish I believed about myself? Start off small if you have to. You can be and do whatever you put your mind to. Manifest that shit.

Now let's try this again...

I wish I believed I had a man... boom, just like that, I STILL don't have a man, but guess what. I will have a man soon. (LOL)

Manifestation.
