Believe in Yourself

 Dear Sandy,

No more excuses! No more delays! Your success is entirely up to you! Time doesn't wait for you to be ready. It's your most valuable resource. Do not let another year pass by with regrets that you haven't achieved your dreams. Time doesn't care if you are afraid. Time doesn't care if you don't feel confident enough to take this next step in your life. Time doesn't wait. You can never get it back. Don't wait any longer! "Someday" is a lie and the slow death of your dreams. Let go of your self-doubt and limitations. Don't underestimate yourself! Step into your greatness without apology.

Lean into the discomfort. YOU ARE ENOUGH! Do not seek praise and validation from others to determine your worth. Stop chasing approval and start living in confidence. Recognize your uniqueness, strength, and resilience. Give yourself credit for the hurdles you've jumped and the mountains you've climbed on your journey. You are strong. You don't need reassurance from others. Not everyone will see your value. That's okay!

Do not take rejection personally! It's hard to see in the moment, but it's life's way of protecting you from something that wasn't in your best interest. It's a blessing in disguise. Where one door closes, another one opens. Use the hurt to fuel, motivate, and make you stronger. Do not let it break you- stop you. Be prepared for other opportunities to grow. KNOW YOUR VALUE! You were not meant for that path. There is something greater for you. Every detour and setback is simply a redirection. Trust the process. Keep moving forward. Treat yourself with kindness, patience, and grace. Practice self-compassion and nurture yourself like you would anyone else. Become more self-aware. Dive deep. 

Let go! Let go of comparing yourself to others. Let go of perfectionism and people-pleasing. Set boundaries so that your time can be spent on pursuing your dreams and becoming the person you know you can and want to be. STOP THE NEGATIVE TALK! Get it out of your head and replace those limitations with a clear vision of where you're headed. Do not constantly worry about things you cannot control. Create space for the things that MATTER. 

Write another chapter. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Clearly define your future self. Do your daily habits align with your values? Start small and make improvements. Stay focused, determined, and disciplined. Make smart choices and decisions. Ask for help from your mentors. Seek their wisdom. Feed your mind and spirit from great books. Concentrate. Take daily walks to meditate. Confront the truths about yourself that may be uncomfortable and difficult to face. 

You've got this! Take the intentional steps toward the life you want to live. You deserve it!
