“Our greatest problems in life come not so much from the situations we confront as from our doubts about our ability to handle them.”
-Susan Taylor
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Where has self-doubt shown up in your life? Think about that for a moment...
How is self-doubt serving you?
We are all stronger than we think. Think back. You’ve struggled, gotten through, done without, found away, done the impossible. And you are still standing! Reading Iyanla Vanzant’s Acts of Faith this morning was a reminder for all. She states:
You have a rich culture and a powerful heritage. Yet we forget that our ancestors built the world, healed the sick, and educated the ignorant.
Let us stand on the knowing of our ancestors, remembering the heritage of the people, the traditions of the family, and the wisdom and strength they used to make it through the rough days.
What hidden strength have you inherited from your ancestors? Make time to do your research if you are not sure...
How has your culture paved the way for who you are today? Think about the opportunities available...
“Seek strength, not to be greater than another, but to fight the greatest enemy,
the doubts within ones self”
What can you do to honor your ancestors and yourself today, bringing you closer to where you want to be? Dream big... the sky's the limit...
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity... Be intentional, encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
