Don't reduce your energy to lesser than because of those around you.

Don’t shrink your hopes and dreams for those around you that don’t understand.

Don’t lower your bar or your standard to fit the “norm”.

Don't put yourself into a box.

Be YOU! Be unapologetic YOU! Be who God created YOU to be.

We should be teaching and setting an example for our daughters of this!

Everyone is made and created differently. Some of us are extra and some are quiet.

I have come to accept and love the fact that I’m extra, energetic, and vocal. Believe me, there are times that I’m like “why God, why?!

Accept those traits, talents, passions about yourself that make you “different”. How boring would it be if we were all the same?!

But we get in our own heads and convince ourselves we need to just be sit down and be quiet. Then we start to step back into our box instead of stepping out in faith. We take our talents and bottle it up because who wants to be different from everyone else? Gosh! What will they think of me?

Our energy reduces to less, our hopes fade, and we continue living in chaos, exhaustion, searching for more— when God has called us to step up, step out. Set the bar high friends ❤️
