Every once in a while I get a little lost. I find myself doing things I set up this platform to stand against. I compare myself with others, get envious, feel like quitting and loose my sense of self and place. It usually takes a friend, reading something I’d written years ago or most especially praying to get my self right and recenter.
i have decided to accpet this as the frailty of my humanity. Dust myself and move on. It is usually at that point that I encounter something spectacular. something that reminds me why i started on this journey of self awareness and purpose. It’s as if God wants to remind me why I started, why He put me here and what He wants me to do. I felt that way when I watched this video.
This isn’t a video that would normally feature on my radar. But somehow I stumbled on it and it reaffirmed for me why I started #IBG. I want women everywhere to know that there are no boundaries to who you can be. I want you to know that you can aim for the top of the galaxy and get there. You were born to be free, free from societies subtle chains and invisible cages. You own your life and you can choose the direction you want it to go. I want women to know that you must find your identity- not the one given to you by your parents, friends or community but the one that is birthed through your Spirit. I hope that as watching this video was both an affirmation and reawakening for me, it will be the same for you.
