SHESPEAKS Your Power to Influence

I've learned that in life there are many opportunities available to me, if I can think it, if I see it, I can achieve it. But in order to achieve any goal or obtain any opportunity, I have to believe that the opportunity is right for me, I have to believe in myself and have the confidence to "expose" myself. You're probably scratching your head, wondering, "what is she talking about?", what I am referring to is the thoughts I've been thinking, the conversations I have in my mind that make me back away from an opportunity. What are opportunities, opportunities are job opportunities, education opportunities, writing opportunities, business expansion opportunities, creative opportunities, weight-goal achievement opportunities, you see, everything you encounter is an opportunity.

The #1 reason I don't achieve my goals is discipline, but with discipline comes my self-talk, self-talk can either make or break you. My self-talk tells me so many things, like you can't do, you don't qualify, you don't have the nerve, she won't talk to you, you can't complete this task,  you're not pretty enough, and without fail, I listen and I give up on my goal, no matter how large or small it is. Its that negative voice inside me that makes me back down and take the back seat to my life.

I'm writing today to #1 call my negative self-talk out of the darkness and bring it into the daylight, but not just for me, but for each and everyone of you who have talked yourself down or out of a situation, opportunity,  or shoot an outfit! The only way to achieve is to believe. Believe in yourself, teach yourself to love yourself, respect yourself and get rid of that negativity that speaks volumes in your mind, because the only person who is affected by it, is you! So stop with the negative comments, the tears, the anxiety, start pumping yourself up!

Today I'm hearing " Gosh Rose, you are a fantastic writer, people are going to be interested and inspired by your content", and there's that small voice that says, no one will like it, don't write about that, who is going to want to read your post, and I'm telling that girl to BE QUIET!
