personal growth

Hey everyone!

As we navigate life's challenges, it's easy to get caught up in following rules, norms, or expectations. But today, I want to remind you of a powerful truth:

Do what is necessary, not just because it's written.

Don't let external expectations dictate your path. Instead, listen to your inner voice, your values, and your needs.

Ask yourself:

- What truly aligns with my goals and well-being?
- What steps will move me closer to my desired outcomes?
- What choices will bring me peace, growth, and fulfillment?

Remember, your journey is unique. Don't be bound by limitations or constraints that don't serve you.

Take ownership of your decisions and actions. Empower yourself to:

Break free from unnecessary obligations
Challenge societal norms
Create your own rules

You are capable of achieving greatness. Trust yourself and make choices that nourish your mind, body, and soul.

Share with us:

- What's one thing you're doing today because it's necessary for your growth?
- How are you breaking free from external expectations?

Let's rise above limitations and conquer our minds together!

A powerful reminder that our experiences shape us, but they don't dictate our future. We have the power to learn from our past, rise above it, and create a new path forward.

Share with me: How do you separate your past from your present and future? What drives you to keep moving forward?

Dear self,

I forgive you for your perfectionism. Despite the pressure growing up on fixing all mistakes, you've realized the unhealthy pursuit perfectionism is. I'm excited to see you keep growing!

Acceptance of one’s whole self is seemingly difficult these days. The criticism and scepticism that people face from others on a daily basis is scary, unbelievable and daunting. I think what makes these feelings of judgement and worthlessness worse are the thoughts that we believe them to be true. These self-doubts can become debilitating at times. When these feelings and beliefs arise, I have a look at the passage below. It speaks of acceptance of one’s self. Self acceptance is vital in these times we live in. We rely on it to heal from our past to ensure we understand how to better our actions/ reactions in the future. Be patient in this process and know you are trying your best every day to simply be better than the day before. Accept the good and bad parts of yourself. Never condoning, nor judging, the side that requires the most growth. That’s all you can do. You are worth your own love 🌻🌻🌻

I am so heartbroken. But, I am keeping my cool and trying to be happy for myself.
So, I am in the process of self-publishing a new book. And I no longer have a supportive author platform. I used to have a author page on Facebook which had about 2k followers. I was pretty proud of that. Then there were some awesome supporters on my personal Facebook account. They purchased my books, posted photos with their feedback and it made my heart swell.

Unfortunately, awhile back. I lost my Facebook account due to it being hacked. And instead of trying to start all over with building a following I decided to just commit to using Twitter. Because I felt like since I already had 3k followers there it should be easy to find and connect with new readers. But, right now it is just me being swallowed into the void. My tweets aren’t being seen. Maybe it’s because a bunch of my followers are other indie and self-pub authors. I don’t know.

But, I do occasionally try and post and self promo my book releases on Snapchat. It is just so mind blowing that no one acknowledges it. With a congrats or anything. Especially when majority of people on Snapchat are either your family or friends. Like, woah wow. Okay. Lol!

Like, I wish I could just leave social media completely alone but, if my dream is to be a full time author I’ve gotta have a social media presence. I am so sad and frustrated about this situation.

My new book is available for preorder on amazon. Search the title: Lipsody

I would appreciate it so much. I am just tired of not being seen. My author life was going so well in 2017 lol.
But, 2022 not so much. x

It could be because of current events?
I know that life isn’t as it used to be for all of us.

I pray that all of us who are hurting inside begin our healing soon.

Thank you for reading. #Life #MightyQuestions
