3:58 AM. I am not sure where I plan on taking this post. I am wide awake and feel as if I should write something in order to officially begin this journey. Writing is something that I love to do. I find that sometimes my voice is louder on paper than when I speak. One thing that I want to accomplish with this blog is to put myself out there. I have been wanting to publish it since about this time last year. Unfortunately, I succumbed to self doubt. *sigh* Self doubt will stop you from achieving your goals and reaching your full potential. I know this from experience. It's easy to stick to your normal and stay in your comfort zone, but one thing I have realized is that God doesn't give us talents just so we can sit on them. Going into 2017 I decided that I would not look back on this year with regret. I decided that I would seize every opportunity given to me and if it's not given, take it. Sometimes I tend to forget just how capable I am, choosing to sit back and watch instead. I came to an epiphany, a realization if you will. It is that I can and will do whatever I put my mind to. (Philippians 4:13) So far, I have been able to do that and will continue to do so. Of course, I am not perfect and there have been PLENTY of bumps along the way, but every experience that I have had this year has been a learning opportunity. I have taken those lessons and used them to better myself. I am now learning to ignore that inner part of me that wants to create doubt and fear.
I just want you to know that your crown may slip once in a while, but never let it fall. You've got this. Go after your goals. Don't listen to the voice that tells you no or that you can't. Cause you can. You good. You poppin, sis!
Love, Cherrelle
