AUTHENTIC!
Hey Y'all,
On these last few days of September as we start to roll into October (which is one of my favorite months), I am reminded of all the things that are about to change. The weather, the leaves, the decorations in our homes, for some of us how we travel changes as snow hits our towns. It seems things are always changing and while sometimes change is good, often times change is not what we need. Oh we can change jobs, change friends, change clothes, change cars, change our hair, change homes..... you get my point but the one thing that should stay consistent is as individuals we should be AUTHENTIC!
Authentic is defined by Webster's dictionary as "not false or imitation, true to ones own personality, spirit or character". Y'all, so many times we think we have to be something or someone else. We have to keep up with our neighbors or keep up with our so-called friends. We have to keep up with society's standards of who we are supposed to be. Why can't we just be who we are? Why can't we just be AUTHENTIC? Embrace what lights your soul on fire! Who cares if your neighbors don't approve or like it. Push forward and be who you are with no reservations and no limits on yourself. If you want something, go after it. Want that new job? You won't know if you will get it until you apply. Want to get into those jeans you haven't worn in a while? You won't know if you can do it until you adjust your eating and get moving! Want to finish that degree that you put on the back burner for so long? Research schools, research financial aid, just DO IT! Please live to do what your heart desires!
Everybody has limits in the way of what they are dreaming of. It's not the limits that are hurtful, it's how you handle the limits. Will you let that define you? Will you let that keep you from being the very best you that has ever existed? Will you just lay down and continue to say to yourself... "Self, I'm sorry we can't accomplish (insert your dream here). It's too hard. It costs too much money. I don't know how. I don't have the strength...... etc, etc, etc." Stop the negative self talk. BE AUTHENTIC. Be who you are. Be what you want to be. Work hard. Don't let anything stand in your way of being your own, true self! I promise you that you will be surprised what you can do once you push past the un-authentic version of yourself. And in the process of finding your authenticity, be kind to yourself. Change is not always easy, but if you are chasing your authenticity, it will be SO worth it. Please believe those words!
I hope this weeks bring happiness and a new found confidence in your authentic self! Work on one thing this week just for you!
Watch what you say... always!
