Good Morning!!!!
I hope everyone is doing well today. There’s so many things to be thankful for.
I’ve been thinking a lot as I tend to do a lot of, and I have come to realize the people you hang around the most have a hand in shaping your reality. This doesn’t always have to be true. There are some of us who are able to go into the world and create the environment we want to be apart of. But for the most part many of us adapt to our surroundings.
That being said, I feel the shift happening in my life (bout time). I understand I have the power to change my own reality. I’ve just started to believe; “You don’t have to accept the hand you were dealt”. This has been proven time and time again. But I needed to see this in real time…. And I finally did. I went and hung out with a cousin of mine. I tell you hanging out with her helped me further know there is so much I could be doing that I’m currently not. Not because I don’t want to; but because my mindset is not at its ultimate level. I am pursuing the things I’ve always wanted to do, but not sticking with them. This is do to feeling like I have to hurry and struggle to get it right. Something in me just feels like I need to rush my road to success. But I’ve learned no matter how much I try to rush it, it doesn’t mean things are gonna happen any faster than they’re supposed to. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the process.
Also, I see now you can’t expect success if you don’t let people know what you’re doing. Not only that, but you have to put yourself in the company of like minded people. By hanging out with others who think like you, you grant yourself access to a wealth of knowledge that you may not have gotten otherwise.
Here’s to trusting the process.
