There was a time you longed for people to love you. You prayed that they’d see or hear you. You wished they could see the depth, truth, and message in front of them. Their words, actions, and mindsets pushed you away, but you always pulled yourself back. You made excuses like: “But I love her/him/them” “But that’s family” “But they’ve been in my life for so long” Until you finally told yourself “I can’t.” There are some pains, tactics, and revelations you can’t bounce back from or unsee—so you don’t.

I lost loved ones, lost my way, and lost myself. Drained, depressed, and depleted—God picked up my broken pieces and developed my faith, character, and purpose from these very experiences. Insecurities and emotions that were intended to break me built my faith and bolstered my efforts to find myself and a greater purpose.

Now, I respect and acknowledge the importance of intentional prayer, wise counsel, and strategic planning.  Today, I pray that you are blessed with discernment and clarity to help you make the right decision.  I pray that you make a decision that will come with peace and align you with your purpose, a decision that you’ve been praying and preparing for. I pray that this decision will align you with your destiny. Don’t rush it. Reflect. Seek your true refuge.

They will boldly, confidently, and oftentimes falsely scream your shortcomings, rumors, or struggles—yet, somehow, they become mute whenever you’re doing well.  It’s as if they didn’t hear of your accomplishments, promotions, or the strides you’ve made. No matter the person or case, remember that weak people do weak things. You don’t need their claps, approval, or support to verify your growth, talent, or potential.  Sometimes their silence is validation in itself.

Although silence is often misinterpreted, misused, and misunderstood— it is often a power and testament to someone’s level of self-control and self-awareness. Those who know their strength, talent, and worth execute that truth from their energy, actions, or absence. Often, having nothing to say stems from having nothing to prove. When you realize that your words are essentially a form of currency, you quit spending time and effort trying to communicate with those who lack the ability or desire to truly understand.

I Am I’ve decided that I am free to be what and who I was created to be. I am free to choose a path that honors my progress and stimulates my growth.  I am free to love, forgive, and embrace all that I truly am. I am confident, joyful, and grateful. I am resilient, tried, and true to myself. I am ready to move forward.  It’s time that I put down every burden, regret, and pain—and boldly walk into my freedom. It doesn’t matter who I was yesterday or who people think I am today. I am walking in my truth and standing in my authority. I am free to let go and move forward. My purpose and progress depend on it.

There is a significant difference between encouraging people and enabling them. I’ve always had a desire to encourage and help others. I thought if I loved them more, they’d learn to love themselves. If I pushed them more, they’d get the desire to push themselves. I worked so hard to put others together that it eventually started to tear me apart. I had to accept the truth that if others want to change, then they have to make their own changes.  Many people will not change because they do not see the reason to change. Some people don’t want to release their strongholds or remove toxicity because it brings them attention. Others would rather stay stuck because they know everyone else will figure it out for them. No matter what the situation may be, you can cheer them on, but you can’t carry any of their steps or lessons out for them.  You can empathize. You must also place boundaries, so you don’t absorb the issues.

High functioning does not mean not struggling. Keeping a brave face does not conquer the chaos within you or calm the storms around you.

There's a time for being still and a time for being bold.

I had reached a point that I no longer had anything left to say, not only because I knew the best course of action was to be still but also because I had no desire to put myself in the crosshairs of anyone else’s ulterior motives. I was done, drained, and deeply depressed. I couldn’t trust people with my pain because I knew that if my vulnerability was manipulated one more time, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. In response, I said nothing while people assumed and said everything. I allowed my silence and absence to be misinterpreted, not because I feared facing others, but because I feared further losing my mind, my faith, and myself.

If you mean me no good, please leave me alone. I won’t return or match your energy. I won’t talk about you… especially if I’m not talking to you. I say this not to reject you, but to protect myself. If you can’t contribute to the peace I have in my life, by all means, do not disturb it.

If bringing up the problems of your past makes others feel better about the inadequacies of their present state, then let them.

Keep your next move to yourself. Your enemy can’t attack what they don’t know exists.

No amount of worry or stress can change or control what someone else says or thinks about you.

People who consistently and consciously hurt you  do not deserve more chances.  They deserve less access.

Not everyone will like, accept, or believe you, and that is okay. As long as you know, address, and embrace your truth—you will grow to understand that another person’s opinion of you is not your business.

Go where your energy is reciprocated not just expected.

Your progress is not based on popularity or how many people applaud you. It’s based on your energy, alignment, and effort.

Sometimes, it’s more convenient for someone to believe or spread a lie about you than it is for them to accept that the person who told them the story is a liar.
