Did you know that anything is possible with a positive mindset?!? Yeah, the folks you’re sharing shit with might not believe it but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.
A lot of times we have the confidence, beauty, brains and creativity to conjure up some amazing things. We write things in our journal, we tell family and friends about the things we intend on doing and then somehow we don’t do it. Part of it can be lack of discipline, part of it can be lack of guidance and not knowing where to start but it starts within you.
From personal experience my procrastination and lack of completion came from 2 limiting beliefs; telling myself I’m not a planner and not fully trusting in my greatness.
I’ve worked in management positions, held down the title of Resident Assistant in undergrad and even threw myself some dope ass shindigs. All which required me to plan ahead, cover my tracks and do groundwork before events, meetings and accomplishing goals.
So why is it that I was telling myself these things? Why was I not living up to my full potential and publicizing my work? It was because I didn’t fully trust me, trust my creativity, trust my greatness or my ability to be who other people viewed me as.
My ‘ahaa moment’ came about during a class taught by my mentor, Dani Fonseca of The Body of Artists (Ps: If you’re and artist this is an amaaaaazing leadership program to look into!)
Anyhoo,
I was challenged to draw and paint using pencils and acrylic paint (Yes, I am a makeup artist but I never had any formal training with those things). I was both excited and nervous about the results but what I accomplished after I was given a nudge made me proud and truly taught me the meaning of faith and belief.
Believing and trusting in yourself is having that faith. Acknowledging that it might not be your best work but in time it will get better. Also, to not compare your shit with others because it will never match up because we all have our own flare.
So in the age of technology, a strong social media presence with peers and influencers who you constantly “follow” Trust and Believe in your greatness and don’t spend your time comparing because that’s time that could’ve been used on your dopeness!
What have you been afraid to do? Let’s push each other to Be and Do better in 2017!!!

I’ve been afraid to set up my foundation and launch due to thinking I am not good enough. I can see the vision in my head and begin to prepare but I never fully commit because I have refused to trust my dopeness.
Your post spoke volumes and has encouraged me to Trust and Believe. #forwardmovement
