You've been holding your pen wrong your entire life

How does it feel when you are told that you are doing something wrong or that you can’t do something? Be with that feeling for a moment. This is a similar feeling you feel when someone does not see your value or worth. Whether you are being told you are doing something wrong or you are not receiving the appreciation and value you deserve this can be frustrating.

Do not care what anyone thinks!!! Yup, I really said it. Know who you are! You are the only one that determines your value and self-worth. It does not matter what other people think about you! It only matters what you think about yourself, your value and self-worth.

I know I have experienced this countless times over the years. I have been told things like you are being weak, you are a trainer you should know better. Really? I am human just like everyone else. And guess what? It is OK to be vulnerable. I have even experienced individuals who have been intimidated by my value and what I have to offer that they have made up stories to throw me under the bus with the intention to derail my mission and purpose. 100% non-truth stories. OUCH. I am not telling you these stories for sympathy or to be a victim. I am telling you these stories so YOU are aware that there are people out there that can do this to YOU. There are people that will purposely devalue you to make you feel small. Take a stand for YOU and who you are!

I literally have walked away from relationships in my life and have started over on more than one occasion because I was devalued. I even had a boss that continued to cut my pay as I made more money. The more money I made the more my pay was cut because my boss didn’t think I was worth that amount of money. Really? Well, guess what? …. I am and so much more. I knew my value. Leaving that job was one of the best decisions I have made.

Those environments I am referring to put a limit on my value and would not allow me to grow. I made the decision to be careful of whom I surround myself with because no one has the power to determine my value. It is essential for me to surround myself with people who support me, lift me and encourage me. Since I made this choice I have now exceeded my income and have built healthy solid relationships, which is sooo is liberating. TODAY I am a stand for who I am in this world, and in knowing who I am. I do not need anyone's validation or permission to be my authentic self and live my purpose.

Are your beliefs running you right now? Is your mind chatter saying things, like, I could never do that on my own or I, do not know what to do or where to start? I am here to tell you, yes you can. There is so much potential within you waiting to be released.

Have you ever had a desire for so much more? Listen to those inner feelings, they mean something.
