Please repeat after me.
I am not an imposter.
I am both my greatest student and teacher of my own life.
I am not trying to be anyone other than the greatest version of myself.
I am my own muse and masterpiece.
So while I may trip,
I may stumble and I may fall,
I will rise.
I will soar.
I will pursue and keep dancing this dance of life.
I still may be figuring out who I am,
But I know what I am not.
And that is an imposter.
I can feel supported and still experience fear.
I can make empowering decisions,
Even in a disempowered environment.
I can be optimistic and still need to practice my patience.
I can be building a future that I desire while working on my self-worth.
I can be grateful and I can ask for more.
I can be improving myself and not have to prove myself.
I can keep my independence and nurture intimate relationships.
I can be committed while evolving and allowing myself to change.
Balance isn't measured nor must it be restored within a certain time frame,
Like 24 hours.
We get so hard on ourselves for doing the things that we need to do naturally to restore balance because of what we think it should look or be like.
Balance requires zooming out.
Let the scales tip and the pendulum swing.
This is the way it will right itself once again,
But only if we allow it and trust in it.
Trust in ourselves.
Let your version of balance express itself naturally.
Stop comparing it to some non-existent ideals.
You deserve to live your life on your own terms and express your version of balance for what it is in this moment.
Permission granted to be off balance in pursuit of being in balance.
None of us would ever choose to play small.
We did our best with what we had discovered and had access to at any given time.
Whatever we were creating or sharing at the time was not smaller than what it is now or maybe in the future.
So if the trending language of referring to where you've been as smaller helps your confidence in growing bigger,
Then by all means use it.
However,
If it doesn't actually feel all that good to reference small versus big,
Especially in relation to yourself,
Know this.
You're always doing your best.
You've always been right on time.
You've always been the big thing and you always will be.
You never played small.
Oh yeah,
There will be costs,
Both seen,
Unseen,
Energetic and monetary costs along our path of pursuing our creative genius.
The greatest cost of all though is the price of denying,
Refraining and cutting ourselves short of being true to who we really are.
That's a price we can't be willing to pay ever,
Ever.
There is a subtle difference between the discomfort of growth and the discomfort of stagnancy preventing you from growth.
Dare to discern the difference.
Not all of us are here to disrupt systems,
Rebel rouse,
Go against the grain and carve new paths.
But for those of us who are,
Who've been standing by and waiting for the perfect moment to get called onto the pitch,
Now is our time to play.
Game on.
Let them notice.
You're remembering who you are.
You're breaking new ground.
You're braving new territory.
You're restaking your claim.
So yeah,
Let them notice.
It's none of your business what's being said about you once you've been felt.
At the end of the day,
End of the line,
End of our life,
All but one precious thing remains and that little thing is love.
Stripped down,
Peeled back,
Mind lost,
Vitality gone and yet love stayed,
Love stayed,
Love stayed.
That's all there was left.
The only thread that kept anything intact,
The only safety in the doom of grief's wave,
The only glow in the darkest of nights,
The only reason to take another step,
Speak another word,
Breathe another breath.
So in the moments when you can't be sure of anything much at all,
You can be sure of love.
Love will bring you back,
Give you life and walk you home.
Trust in love.
Remember love.
Share love.
Be love.
The only foundation that truly matters is your own.
Not anyone else's stomping grounds,
Not anyone else's garden of beliefs,
Not anyone else's ideals,
Projections or planted programs.
So do ensure that the foundation upon which you stand on is firmly yours because the last time I checked,
It was impossible to be grounded in your truth while also walking on eggshells.
And that's where the female technology comes in.
It's intuitive,
It's nurturing,
It's on point,
It's beautiful,
It's sexy,
It makes you feel something.
It's evocative,
Stoke worthy.
You know what I mean?
Notable,
Worth sharing.
It should make you feel alive and remind you of who you are.
That is female technology.
It's an intimate experience delivered to the masses.
Loosen your grip on who you're here to become.
There's no need to have the same conversation over and over about how you're still trying to figure it all out,
Still letting it all go and doing all the work and learning to make sense of things first.
Burn that script.
Take the broken record off of the same old player and you'll find that it's already happening.
You're already doing it.
The missing pieces that you're looking for are already there waiting to be picked up.
So create the space in your life for the changes that you've been asking for to land,
To arrive,
To take up residence and to become a part of you.
And then witness the miracle that you already are.
What is meant for you is yours.
You literally can't miss it or mess it up.
It may not be how you described in your mind or the timeline that you had perfectly set up or in the environment,
City or even country that you pictured yourself living in,
Surrounded by the people,
Places and things that you thought for sure would be there.
Because what is meant for you is yours.
And if you think that it's possible to miss what's meant for you,
The only thing you're actually missing is the point.
You don't have to do it the way that you've been shown or taught to,
The way others are doing it,
The external versions,
Systems,
Strategy,
Tactics that,
You know,
More often than not are illusory success and they're certainly not sustainable.
Only you know what fuels you,
Makes you feel alive and thriving.
So don't base your greatest masterpiece on someone else's model that's based probably on someone else's model.
You don't have to do it that way.
You know that you don't,
But you forget because it's easy to.
So here's your reminder.
You don't have to do it the way that you've been taught.
Dare to discover your way and never stop digging.
Take the stage.
You've spent lifetimes preparing for this.
You've acquired and released everything that you need.
You are receiving support in a way that you used to dream of.
You are seen and valued because you've seen where you have not been valued and you've started to value the parts of yourself that you used to deem as unseeable.
You recognize that who you are is who you've been striving to be this whole time.
It is in your hands because it is coming from your heart,
Your heart,
Your heart.
You speak truth because you are truth.
You know truth because you know yourself.
There is nothing left to do and nowhere else to be.
You are ready and now,
And for the rest of your now moments and days,
You may take the stage.
Stop playing the busy cards.
Don't flaunt it around or use it as a crutch.
It's a barrier between people and genuine connection,
Not a bond.
Busy is not a high scoring card in the game of life.
That rule was an illusion and we're not playing into it anymore.
A full hand though?
Sure.
A hand of meaningful work,
Interactions,
People and happenings that make you lose your poker face?
That's a hand worth sharing,
Worth mentioning,
Worth celebrating and connecting over.
No more playing the busy cards.
