DREAM
Each day grants an opportunity to commit to the pursuit of greatness.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”- Marianne Williamson
To live in such a volatile political climate and a world. We are more powerful than we understand, and our strength can sometimes frighten us. Sometimes the fear of failure can cause us to forfeit opportunities to fly. I challenge you, do not be scared by your power, by your talent, embrace it, and channel it for good. Use your gifts that God has given you to shine your light.
Find things that you are passionate about and are fulfilling and do them to your very best of your ability. Hold your head high and walk the path that God has outlined for you
When we believe in ourselves, magic can happen. Doubting ourselves is debilitating.
Tell yourself, “I can push through adversity, I can push through pain, I can push through frustrations, I can push through depression, I can do great things!”
Dr. Martin Luther King is a global icon that demonstrated insurmountable courage to change the world for the better. He and many other world leaders had to become comfortable being uncomfortable and standing up for what they knew was just. Here are some of my favorite excerpts to read when I need to remind myself to tap into my potential.
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” -MLK
"You are a unique event in the history of the universe. There us never been a you-not your particular soul, living at this particular moment, faced with your particular challenges. Your existence is a mystery, a miracle, and an experiment of creation and you are allowed to examine this mystery to the fullest" -Elizabeth Gilbert
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.-Muhammad Ali
"I have been absolutely terrified every moment of my life, and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing that I wanted to do" -Georgia O'Keeffe
"Dream like Martin, Lead like Harriet, Fight like Malcolm, Think like Garvey, Write like Maya, Build like Madam C.J., Speak like FREDERICK, Educate like W.E.B., Believe like Thurgood, Challenge like Rosa, Inspire like Barack & MiChelle Obama
