Note To Self: Believe

For when you’re feeling pessimistic:

No matter how hard life can get, I hope you never stop believing. Believing that good things will happen, miracles are real, and speaking it into existence works. You attract and manifest what you believe – don’t ever count yourself out of your own blessings. You are deserving of all good things that have yet to come your way. There is no such thing as “too good to be true.” All of it can happen.

You know firsthand how the universe will give you everything you’ve ever wanted and more in due time. Your dreams are as big as you make them. Speak on them as if they are already yours. Be so confident in your belief that everything works out for you and you’ll always win in the end – because you will. What you water will grow, so focus on the endless possibilities where you get everything you’ve prayed for. Not on some materialistic shit, because you know that’s not where your happiness lies.

You have always been a dreamer. I hope you’ll always find a way back to believing in something bigger and truly believing that it will happen for you. And when it happens, I hope you know that you deserve it, all of it.

Note to self – Never stop believing. You deserve it all.

Believe It

There is no such thing as “too good to be true.”

Ever stopped and wondered why you think it can’t happen to you?

It’s easy to fall into lack mentality and have yourself stressing.

But that way of thinking will ironically block your blessing.

Law of attraction – I call in what I know I deserve.

I really manifested it all – Yes, I truly got the nerve.

Because why count myself out of exactly what I want and more?

Don’t ever be discouraged to be met with a closed door.

Trust that it just means there’s so much more for you in store.

Speak, write, and think it all into existence.

You’ll be surprised how much things change with your persistence.

I’ll never again believe that it all can’t happen to me –

Because if I can think it, I can have it, and that’s the fuckin’ tea.

Lifetimes

I have died and been reborn a thousand times in this lifetime alone.

This version of me surely will not be the last, I’m hopeful of it.

My hands still have scars from forcibly holding onto parts of me, beliefs, and situations that I clearly outgrew.

I laugh now remembering how terrified I was of the unknown – only to find out that everything will always be in favor of my highest good.

A thousand lives, a thousand versions of me, a thousand new beginnings – how lucky.

We are always evolving, renewing, and finding different parts of ourselves that need refining.

I will never be ashamed to say that I am forever a work in progress.

No perfection. No forcing. No overstaying my welcome.

What a privilege it is to witness and grow with others through their many transformations.

Because with so many lives we live in this 1 lifetime, what a shame it would be to always remain the same…

Little Miss Self-Sabotage

Post 7 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “Define Me.”

I’m deep in my Jhené Era. She’s def the top artist I’ve been listening to on repeat for at least the last 6 months. This series will be a showcase of how her music has inspired me throughout this journey – the journey back to self✨️

Note to self –

There will come a day where you meet the reason why you never settled.

When that day comes, I pray you have the self-awareness to realize when you’re starting to run.

I pray you have the discernment to know the difference between a gut feeling and the natural instinct to self-sabotage when things are great.

I hurt a little inside knowing that you are weary of good things because it is so foreign to you.

But embrace what is being presented to you – don’t run from things that seem too good to be true.

You deserve the world, let the world give it to you.

And when you get the slightest inkling to detach in fear, I hope you remember to move with trust and love.

Just In Case

Post 6 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “Pretty Bird.”

I’m deep in my Jhené Era. She’s def the top artist I’ve been listening to on repeat for at least the last 6 months. This series will be a showcase of how her music has inspired me throughout this journey – the journey back to self✨️

I’ve been taught to always plan for rainy days – life is unpredictable.

Mentally exhaust all possibilities to prepare for the unexpected.

Life can’t pull a fast one on you if you’re 100 steps ahead.

I need to make sure that at the end of any possibility, I remain untouched, unbothered, victorious.

Some call it smart, others call it overthinking, I call it Me.

“Just in case,” I tell myself, creating an exit plan before I even enter – completely unaware that I’m speaking doubt into my reality.

But fuck that. I don’t want to be held prisoner to that way of thinking.

I want to shift my focus to just in case it all happens in my favor.

Just in case it goes even better than expected.

Just in case I get exactly what I wanted and then some.

Just in case you tend to forget too – It always works out.

This Is Personal

Post 4 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “Lotus – Intro.”

This transformation is personal. But don’t get it twisted –

I have nothing to prove to anyone, but everything to prove to myself.

My happiness acts as the biggest apology that I owe myself.

They say good girls finish last, but I beg to differ.

Pure hearts, pure intentions, and love is still where it’s at.

I refuse to water a dead plant, so I chose to water myself instead.

A flower blooms on its own time, and now it’s my season.

She’s motivated by the woman she once was.

So yes, it’s very personal – she chose herself.

This blooming garden is for me – I’m sorry it took so long.

Like The Moon

I’ll forever be entranced by the moon’s beauty.

How mighty her gravitational pull is for everything and everyone on earth.

We don’t question the moon’s many phases.

In fact, we celebrate them. We study them.

Her cycle pushes and pulls the energies.

They close old doors and welcome new beginnings.

She has taken many hits, leaving craters that can be seen from miles away.

But still, she is delicate yet potent.

Oh, to be loved like the moon…

Accepted through all my many stages and cycles.

But more importantly…

To love myself like I love the moon.

She can’t be full at all times, but we know her power.

The moon’s energy is still present, even at her lowest.

She’s picture perfect in every stage.

That is my wish for you – accept yourself in every stage of the journey.

Give yourself grace and see yourself like you see the moon.

Words Are Spells

The power of words are underrated.

Our words are spells we put out into the universe.

We speak things into existence without even realizing it.

Our words can protect our desires, or harm them.

Often, we unknowingly speak fear and doubt into our plans, and the universe follows our lead.

Claim your blessings confidently as if they have already happened.

Speak it into existence and watch it work in your favor.

Never forget how powerful your words are.
