Keep Not Settling!
Queens, it’s Saturday morning, 2 weeks before I move back to school and I just wanted to touch bases with you all bc you were on my heart.
I just want to make sure that while you're
preparing for the next season of your life, you are still putting yourself,
your happiness, and your well being first.
To be able to invest in people and to have the
ability to see the good in someone when they cannot see it in themselves is an
amazing gift.
While I encourage you queens to build each other up
and to network and make connections as often as possible, I also would like to
remind you of the importance of maintaing self.
What you feel on the inside is what you manifest on
the outside. Because of this I want to make sure that no matter what life
throws at you, you won't let it kill your spirit or your dreams.
Queen I'm going to be honest with you, one of the
biggest things I vowed to work on within my self this summer was to kill the
presence of self doubt. Some times we get so lost in the shuffle of life that
we forget how far we have come and how much bravery it took for us to get
there.
Do me a favor and think about this, you've already
survived 100% of your worst days. No matter how long it took you and no matter
how high the difficulty level, you still won. YOU did that. Give
yourself a little credit.
Believe in yourself. Believe in your grind. And
believe in your power. I want to stress to you how important it is to not let
anyone dim the light within you. It's yours. Because of each time you fell and
got back up, your light shines brighter and brighter.
There's one last point I’d like to stress to you
before I let you get to your weekend. Queens, I want you to get to a place
where you live your life independent of what others think of you. Granted a lot
of times it takes the long nights of ice cream, movies and heart to heart
advice with friends to get through difficult situations.
But at the same time, you have to be your own woman
that isn't fixated or fueled by what others think. Yes everyone is entitled to his
or her own opinions but they don't get the power to change how you feel about
yourself. Your opinion of you will always be more important that what fits the
status quo.
The bottom line is this. Keep not settling. Love
all the parts of yourself that you never thought you could. Believe in yourself,
your power and your dreams. Give yourself credit. And believe when I say that
queen it is at your lowest points that you are the strongest.
Pull through the rest of your summer. You got it. I believe in you. And
as always, Stay Strong!
