There comes a time in your life when you have to face the uncertainty that comes with revealing who you really are every time you open the microphone.
I keep writing about the fear of judgment from other people because it is the number one self-imposed prison people live in.
Some of us have convinced ourselves that what we have to say is not important. That’s low self-esteem talking. And nobody will fix your self esteem problem but you.
We let mediocre people pass us by because we have not worked on our own personal development. That work is yours exclusively.
I remember rushing myself through sentences because I thought people wanted me to hurry up and shut up. In my head, there were imaginary people waving me off, pressuring me to be quiet. So I strung together sentences that didn’t land the way I wanted them to. I hurried through breaks. I cringe now, because that version of me is so far away from where I stand today.
Today — lol — I don’t give a skip who doesn’t like what I say or how I say it.
But let me be clear: that didn’t happen by accident. That took work. It took honest introspection. It took me correcting myself so I could become a personality I was proud of. The work that is done in private is the real work. This is how I got better. I can only share with you on how I curated my own self improvement plan.
When you get to the point where you only say what you mean, watch how differently people respond to you.
Let go of who you think people want you to be.
Let go of playing roles around certain people.
Start speaking with intention.
Why can’t you say and do what you actually want to say and do?
Authenticity is when your words are truthful and you believe every one of them. You can defend every word fiercely. This becomes your new oxygen — truthful statements.
I only say what I believe.
I’m not generic.
I’m not swayed.
I’m me.
Reprogram the way you communicate. Period.
Start by saying things in a brutally honest manner. Practice this today. Master your speech. Send out the frequency of power — not the frequency of hesitation and uncertainty. That frequency is not attractive.
Power is what we want. Practice speaking like a bow and arrow shot from your mouth, on its way to it's intended target. Not to hurt anyone, just for clarity’s sake.
Every time we open our mouths, we should be speaking our freedom — like we belong here on this planet. Because we do.
You were invited here by God and nobody else.
So act like it.
You are never doing us a favor by diminishing the God in you!
