Give Yourself Permission

I had the opportunity to begin reading an amazing book by author Keisha A. Rivers Shorty called "Note 2 Self", it is a book that helps one reflect their life's journey.  Whether you realize it or not, you will go through it; it's inevitable, it is simply up to you the outcome.  

Life is a journey, just like relationships, and we have to learn to give ourselves the permission to succeed, to fail, to learn, to wonder, to DO.  In my life's journey, there have been highs and lows, there have been times when I would ask myself....why did I do that, why did I waste that energy, why why?  Those are my times of reflection as I choose to learn from why I do what I do.  I had to give myself the permission to reflect and then ACCEPT what I did and do.  Then it is up to me to make the CHANGE if necessary.   Throughout this entire process, one has to focus and let go of the clutter.  RELEASE! 

Give yourself permission to succeed - to thrive, to prosper, to grow.  It's your right!  In the journey, there will be times will you will fail to accomplish a goal, but it will come if you stay persistent.  In the journey, you will learn, if you choose to pay attention.  You have the right to wonder, ask questions, you always need to do that.  You are obligated to DO!  Make it happen! 

My hope for you is that you allow yourself to evolve, to progress, to be all that you are destined to be.  We are relational creatures and there will be people who come into our lives who will teach us, hurt us, try to use us, and love us.  You too will teach, you may hurt someone, you may use others and hopefully you will know true love.  Give yourself the permission to LOVE, love brings about change.  Be still, wait on it, it will come....
