A short reminder of what your power is and where it lies. Your power is in your differences that God uniquely designed for you and you alone. Shine your light.

Comfort is a causality of growth. In order to become the greatest version of yourself, you’ve got to constantly be growing- which unfortunately requires constant discomfort. Hear me read a letter I wrote myself before I made the most uncomfortable decision of my life this far.

I am a recovering people pleaser. The realization that has helped me the most is understanding I am not responsible to be the version of me that the world wants me to be. God’s calling on my life is way more important than the conformity box the world wants to put me in, and so is yours.

So many people eat right, workout, and still don’t see the results they want. This may be the key thing you aren’t addressing.

We all suffer from it- comparison. Now with social media it’s easier than ever to get stuck in the comparison scroll-hole. I encourage you to remember how special and unique you are. Your superpower is that there is no one else like you.

This is something we all struggle with. It is okay to have fear about what other people think of you, but it is not okay to let that fear stop you from fulfilling the dream that lies on your heart. You've got to put more weight on the dream God placed on your heart, than you do the importance of others opinions for you having that dream.

There is a lot of pain going on in the world today. Not speaking about it is part of the problem. Simply feeling bad about everything is not a strategy towards resolve. Simply posting on Instagram isn’t a solution. We’ve got to act. Move. Listen. Educate ourselves. Donate.

Why do you do what you do? Are you trying to escape the pains that have held you captive for so long? It’s time we take a quick second to check our intentions. The chains that hold you down, DON’T HAVE TO.

Do you ever get to a point in your journey where you ask yourself "what's the point?" You feel discouraged, disheartened, and like everything you're doing doesn't even matter? Listen to me friend, it matters. Keep going.
