I know there are times when you’ve stopped being yourself;
Stopped dancing;
Stopped singing;
Stopped speaking with your voice;
Times you feel walked on, disrespected, worthless.
You just want to be heard!
You are NOT the only one who has felt that way, in fact you’re in the vast majority!
We just don’t believe we have permission to be our beautiful, unique self.
I can’t help but see the truth that we’ve got it all wrong.
We’ve been taught that we must only be the self that suits or is approved by others.
We can only dance if we look good and are good at it because everyone’s watching and judging.
Why?
The birds sing because it’s who they are, for the joy of it.
The trees dance because they are moved by a simple breeze.
One of my favorite things is watching the squirrels in my backyard. They scramble and chase each other, run up and down the trees – just because it’s fun.
A bird never decided it wasn’t going to fly because someone told them they can’t or aren’t doing it right or good enough.
Children, even babies laugh out loud from sheer experiencing life.
Give yourself the gift of living your joy, living out loud, while you’re still here.
Do not spend your precious life clinging to the insulting thoughts and behaviors we allow to be inflicted on us.
Why do we throw a wet blanket of ho-hummery over our life, ourselves?
All the things you’ve been told not to be; too much; too loud; too opinionated; a rebel; selfish, is exactly what you need to be to take back everything taken from you!! Whether your emotions are a raging inferno, sad, or nearly non-existent, none of it was intended for you and you’re being robbed.
Every single one of us knows, there’s So Much More!!!
But what we know is there for us, we sell out to the “rules.” Man-inflicted “rules.”
It’s time to break out your God-given permission slip and make some noise in your own life!! Speak up for your soul!
It starts with YOU reclaiming, saving your life!!
There are no do-overs!!! This is YOUR life!!
And I promise, there are simple ways to reclaim your vibrant heart!!
