053 - Pay the Cost to be the Hero of Your Own Life
“My momma called - seen you on TV son. Said things done changed - ever since we got on. I dreamed this all - ever since we were young. They said we would be nothing, now they always say congratulations. We worked so hard forgot how to vacation. Everyone was hating but we made it, we made it.”
Love yourself enough:
To pay the cost be the hero of your own life.
Love yourself enough:
To pay the cost, to be the boss of your own life.
Ask yourself:
"Self, what activities am I focusing time and attention on that are only putting me in a situation where I'm giving away my power, pride, dignity and self respect?"
Am I focusing on activities where I'm giving away my power, pride, dignity and self respect?
Self, you are worth going all in on. Love yourself enough, to pay the cost to be the hero in your own life. Love yourself enough to accept. Love yourself enough to adjust. Love yourself enough to stand in your own shoes, and own it.
So many times, we sell ourselves short. We chase love, acceptance, approval; chase, chase, chase - becoming the chaser. We hope by collecting their love, their approval, this void inside us will become whole.
But friends, that's a vicious rat trap. It's an illusion. Because all that I am lacking, is within me. No outward over indulgence will fill me. No outward over indulgence will fix me.
Love yourself enough to be honest with yourself. Be honest. Honestly evaluate. Honestly accept. Honestly love yourself.
Love yourself enough to sacrifice. Difficulties are a constant in life - whether we are pursing our ultimate or if we're laying on the couch vegging out. There's always a price to pay. Choose to invest into yourself.
“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.”
Are you a master to the slave that is yourself? Are you keeping your own self shackled down in bondage? Emancipate yourself - from yourself. Emancipate yourself from the vices that chain you to the ghetto.
There is a message, a song, an awareness, a voice, a strengthening, a clarity, a vision that is screaming to present itself to you. But every time we focus our attention on that which derails us - we push that special awareness down - deeper - further.
That special gift keeps swimming to the top - quietly; wanting to be heard - knowing how you'll shine. This special gift is your true being, your true gift, your gift to the world.
Love yourself enough, to step into you. Love yourself enough - to pay the cost - to rise to your ultimate.
