I CHOOSE MYSELF FIRST: Thank You For The Lessons

Thankful for the experience, lessons learnt, equipped for the next chapter

Always be grateful & know your worth

There will be people who will try to pull you off track, don’t be one of them by believing in what is meant to pull you astray, stand in your truth.

Choosing yourself can be scary, but it’s freeing. It may look like the end but it’s the beginning of a new chapter of your life, new experiences, knowledge and meeting those aligned with your vision & purpose in life. When everything feels like is crumbling, when you can’t see light, take a leap of faith and jump. Even when you fall, like a friend once told me, “when you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up”.

Change – Release the old & welcome the new

Do not complain about things that don’t work for you, it’s time to change. When it comes to careers, partnerships, relationships, situationships- change. Pick and drop. Attaining your goals has never been easy but induced pain & suffering that comes with attachment to toxic environments and people is not an option. You are able to attain your goals in more favorable atmosphere, don’t let fear tell you otherwise. Fear can come in a form of comfort from your monthly salary from bad work environment, emotionally or physically abusive boss, partner, friends the list goes on. Let them go.

See the vision

The best version of yourself. The goal is to be better than you were yesterday, better than a year ago, than a previous job, nothing not a career or any person is worth losing yourself for. Every time you feel yourself out of character, the need to be vengeful or mirroring what others are projecting onto you it’s time to leave that person, that particular environment. It may not feel like it but believe it and know that you are worth it and your peace of mind comes first, protect your energy, protect your mental health. You are valuable and lovable, if no one is giving it to you, give to yourself. You come first.

Release

Break free from commitments that are toxic. Obsessions, negativity, jealousy, addictions, infactuations, situations that cause you havoc. Don’t be angry that things did not work in your favor, or you have to start again from scratch. A job you thought will take you to the next level, a lover you thought you would build with but leaves you for someone else, a friend who is doing better than you, release the anger, bitterness, envy, jealousy over situations, you are blocking your blessings. Your blessings are way bigger than you know.

You are put around certain situations or people who may be coming up right in front of your eyes not for you to be jealous of them but to know it’s possible & you are about to come up.

God put you in that position, relationship with that person or people because he wants you to see that growth is possible, you can do it too, they are human just like you. God is not putting you in a situation so that you can be jealous of them but so that you can know you too can accomplish if you put in the effort, work & know your priorities. You are your first priority.

You are the pilot of your life, broaden your horizon, take back control. Don’t be a victim of social pressure & beliefs that forces you to unhealthy behaviors for instant gratification. It’s not easy to start over but it leads to a long term success.
