“I’m more
interested in my purpose than my past or mistakes because as I walk in
forgiveness of self…so shall I walk worthy in the promise of my purpose.”-Today speaking to Tomorrow
“Know that YOU have a purpose and allow its promise
to keep you focused!”-Someone wanting you to fight off distractions
“Mistakes
don’t last, purpose does…so allow the purpose that’s in you to work through you
into your reality.”-Truth
If
you missed last Thursday’s What Is Beauty? Campaign Google+ Hangout with me,
Lauren Alicia…not an issue…scroll till you see the video!!!
But here are my notes…
You may not think that you
have a purpose or a purpose greater than the “thing” you are pursuing/doing
today…
You may not know that you
have the ability to change the world…
Or moments of unworthiness
keep you from approaching what you know belongs to you…
…Or maybe none of the above applies to you
and you just want to know what GYCGirl is talking about…
It’s
cool!!!
But please know that I am
able to talk about having a purpose because I’ve felt like all of the above
before, and I’m on the other side and fighting to remain on the other side
right now…
And let’s get 1 thing clear…
THERE ARE NO IF’S, AND’S OR
BUT’S ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE A PURPOSE, IT’S NOT UP FOR QUESTIONING “IF”
YOU DO.
What you
need to know is…
“What is
it?”
What I
understand in realizing I have a purpose are 4 things:
1.Forgive yourself of your
past, mistakes, feelings of unworthiness…whatever could be holding you back or
placing you in moments of self-doubt!
When
we continuously forgive ourselves of the past, we no longer accept the fact
that we are not good enough because of this or that. Forgiving ourselves allows
us to know that our mistakes are not the end of the world and that we can get
back up to turn in the right direction.
When I learned to say “I was/am wrong” I allowed for
growth in my life as the knowledge and understanding of what it means to walk
worthy regardless of your past, showed me, forgiveness is the most amazing
repair kit.
2.Accept that you do have a
purpose no matter how much you question otherwise!
You
could be having the worst day ever where everything is going wrong, no one
understands what you’re talking about, and it seems like no one cares…AND YOU WILL STILL HAVE A PURPOSE that
needs YOU to LIVE IT OUT!
Accepting
that you have a purpose is a matter of using your voice
and walking worthy, which is why forgiveness of self is so
important…without it you might think that NO one wants to hear what you have to
say, ever!
Then,
the other side of that is…going in the wrong direction…and thinking that your
purpose changed its mind…FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!! You can
attempt to do everything possible in the opposite direction and your purpose
will still be there waiting and sending a million signs to turn around!
No
matter how rough life gets…YOU ALWAYS
HAVE A PURPOSE TO FULFILL AND THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR IT…so those behind
you can carry the baton next.
We all have a role to play, the world and
generations after NEED us to play are part!
3.Understand Rejection| What
it is and is not!
If everyone said, “No” would you think your purpose
no longer existed???
Understand
what rejection is and is not…PLEASE!!!
The
simplest way that I can explain it is…
Rejection is
not a reflection of YOU but a reflection of what does not belong to YOU.
Allow
what is for you to be for you because only we are fit (and able) to handle what
belongs to us…so, be confident in who you are and thankful for the no’s and the
yes’s.
Be thankful
when people say, “NO” because it allows and prepares you for the right people
to say, “YES”!
GYC Side Note (Quick) Rant: Please reflect before
taking the advice from someone (family, friend or acquaintance) to beat down a closed
door…because you just may be attempting to remain traveling in the wrong
direction…please don’t live distracted
or sign for packages from slewfoot!!!
4.Enjoy the journey of
getting to know yourself…live the dream you dream!
Because
I’m in the process and continuously surrendering who I am today for who I might
be tomorrow…I’ve recognized that although I have BIG DREAMS…my purpose has
allowed for smaller dreams in between!
And the special thing about that is…those
smaller dreams are just as important and necessary for me to achieve if I want
to go after the bigger dreams...fulfilling my purpose.
Remember small can land on greater!
&
It can start as a seed and grow into a tree!
“I Have A Purpose” GYC Mirror Checks:
When you look
in the mirror aside from many things to remember…REMEMBER no matter the
situation you are still here and purpose is working through you…so, let it work
out of you and enter your reality!
+ I
am not my mistake(s).
+ I
am worthy and deserving.
+ I
am designed with a purpose that only I can fulfill.

Because
I drink from the endless
well…I write what I speak and I speak what I write…allowing that which is
in me to not fight but create through the fight to be me!
“Girl that’s deep!” I know that’s what you were thinking…so I said
it!
I’m
almost done…I’ll end with this short letter to YOU!
Dear _____________
