Is there something about you, something from your younger years that might catch others by surprise?
Is there something you loved doing but stopped to make someone else happy or thought you needed to in order to make someone stay?
This may or may not shock you but one of my loves, my passion was and still is dancing.
I used to be a dancer, a go go dancer, a back up dancer for artists, a performance artist… I was an entertainer for almost a decade and a half. It lit me up, I loved it, I couldn’t get enough of it.
But due to certain circumstances, being in a certain relationship, not knowing or realizing that I could do what I love and be with someone, my career in the entertainment industry came to a quick unexpected halt & a huge part of me faded away. I never thought much that if what I did for work or what lit me up didn’t work for the “other person” that they may not be the right person for me. I never thought my willingness to give up a part of me so easily to make someone else happy had anything to do with my sense of self worth, self esteem or feeling like I was enough.
So here’s what that experience taught me:
- If there is something you’re passionate about, that lights you up, that you enjoy doing & you get paid to do it… Never stop to please someone else.
- If someone expected you to change a big part of yourself to be with them then maybe they weren’t the right person for you anyways.
- You are beautiful, inside & out, no matter what anyone else says so never let someone’s opinion or words break you down or prevent you from following your dreams, doing what you love, as there are many other souls that appreciate you now & in your future for all you are.
- If you have a dream, a vision for your life, for what you can accomplish go for it, and don’t let anyone stand in your way.
- And just remember you are they only one responsible for making your dream or vision become reality. So believe in yourself & never give up because you are worthy, you are amazing and you are enough.
If any of this applies to you, I feel you. Lessons learned now create the life of your dreams!
Is there something you’re dreaming of for you & your life? How are you gonna make it happen?
Wishing you light, love, success, health and happiness!
