Buying pens, new planners, and new notebooks to get organized will do nothing if you don't sit down and actually do the work you plan to do in them. Most of the time sis, it?s the things that we put off, the things that we feel the most resistance to?those are the things that end up changing our lives. Sometimes you just don't feel like it, and we get it. But if you wait to feel good, and you wait to feel motivated enough to finish...it will never get done. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors!

How would future you feel about the decisions you make each day? How would she respond to the issues happening in your life right now? Sometimes when we need answers, we look externally. We ask our family members and friends for advice. We need someone to motivate and inspire us. But the reality is, if we just took a minute to get quiet, and shut out the outside noise...we have the answers that we need. That if we could only take the time to imagine what a future version of ourselves would do, in a situation that we are currently in...in most cases we already have our answers. Younger you, will always serve as a reminder of how far you've come. But future you, the girl you will one day become...will always serve as the blueprint.

Stop putting limits on yourself sis. Stop putting limits on your abilities, on your ideas, limiting your creativity, and putting a cap on what you think you can do. Better yet, stop putting a cap on what you think God can do. There is no limit, on the dreams that you have sis. Just because someone else's life looks big and grand, that doesn't mean you can't have big and grand too. Don't let negative thoughts and negative beliefs trick you out of the dreams, visions, and goals God has placed on the inside of you. They are yours. Always has been, always will be.

Stop telling everybody your business boo. Set some boundaries, and stop being vulnerable with people who do not deserve your vulnerability. You have to have discernment about who gets to experience the best parts of you. When you start sharing all of your personal business with people, you start involving them in things that they aren't even qualified to be involved in. Learn how to stand on your own two feet, without needing to hear what someone else has to say, or caring what they think, and run with what God told you to do. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors!

Although we'd all like to be wined & dined and for someone else to take care of us for the rest of our lives....the peace of mind you get when you have your own is unmatched sis. Whether that be your own place, your own car, your own bank account, your own opinions, your own ideas, and even your own identity. Something that no one can take away from you. Do not ever be out in these streets, and the only things you have are the things that people gave you. You can be vulnerable and soft and still be bold and fiercely independent too.

A lot of us are getting overwhelmed when we try to focus on everything, all at the same time. Then we end up overthinking it, and end up doing nothing at all. But it's simple sis. If you could focus on one thing for the next 6 months to a year, what would life look like for you? The problem is, we're all in a hurry trying to get "there", and we're trying to run towards all the things we want to do instead of just taking one simple step at a time. You will get there sis. But only if you shut out the noise, stop trying to rush everything, and just focus one one thing at a time. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Get 50% off plus free shipping when you try HelloFresh!
