Now is better than later 🤌🏾

And this chapter of my life is called self-worth.

Just going to leave that right there.

In order for you to realize your worthiness, you need to know your self-worth. Then add tax.

I think back to all the times my naïveté was in the way.

I listened to a lot of what other people said.

I did what everyone else was doing.

I was surrounded by “friends” yet stood alone.

We all have to walk down that long one way street until we reach that light at the end of the tunnel.

Been there, done that 🙅🏾‍♀️

It’s bad energy. No bueno.

A lot of my past friendships and relationships taught me that I had to know my self-worth first since some were one-sided.

So, expect the worst but, pray for the best.

It has definitely took a lot out of me to evolve into this person I am today.

I had to lose my mind to find my inner peace.

Pain helps you refocus.

(No pain, no gain)

As a woman, I know that I am extremely emotionally driven.

Sometimes I react and won’t think twice about it.

Soon after.....

CLASH OF THE TITANS

(I may have over-exaggerated just a little 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Earlier, I cried for 10 minutes from a situation I couldn’t control.

Once I realized it was only out of frustration I got myself together and kept it moving.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Please do not water yourself down or sugar coat anything.

Make progress not excuses.

Commitment takes dedication.

Consistency takes dedication.

Success takes dedication.

Everything I want out of life takes dedication.

I know I’m worthy of every bit of it!

I’m surprised how far I’ve come honestly.

So don’t look back.

You aren’t going that way.

The only place to go is forward.

Til the next episode ✌🏾

... Read moreThe journey of recognizing one's self-worth can be transformative. It encourages deep reflection on past experiences and relationships. Self-worth is not just about feeling good; it’s a vital foundation that influences every aspect of life. To aid in discovering your worthiness, it's beneficial to assess past friendships and analyze their impact on self-esteem. Many individuals underestimate the significance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. It’s about learning to value yourself first before expecting others to do the same. Moreover, tough times can serve as powerful lessons. They often guide individuals to clarity, strengthening internal resolve. Recognizing and embracing pain as part of the growth process helps refocus on what truly matters in life. Being open about personal frustrations is normal and can lead to breakthroughs. It's crucial, however, to convey feelings authentically without masking them with excessive optimism. Genuine communication fosters healthier relationships and facilitates healing. Empowerment comes from consistency in actions and dedication towards goals. Each step in the journey contributes to a clearer understanding of what self-worth entails, driving individuals to strive for better in life. Remember, the choice to move forward is in your hands, and the progress you make paves the way for future successes.

Sometimes, the chapters we cherish the most must come to an end. Not because we failed, but because growth demands change. Life has a way of closing doors that no longer serve us, even when we’re not ready to let go. But trust in the process, for every ending holds the promise of a new beginning. T
