My Power

Thoughts from December 20th, 2020

I want to share a quote from my soul brother,

”You are the proof of POSSIBLE when you grow up in a world that tells you that everything’s impossible.”

-Tristan Thompson

This hit me right in the heart chakra 💚
and powered up my solar plexus 💛

This meaning, I was so filled up with love that it boosted my self power and confidence.

I can get really down on myself sometimes, believing the lies that somehow no matter how much work I put in I’m not good enough.

I don’t celebrate my accomplishments enough and at times I go through life wondering what I can even contribute to this world. It’s times like this where I am grateful to the people who see me and uplift me when I need it most. Tristan’s simple words strung together by the thread of his thought made me stand in my power and remember who the fuck I am. I am reminded of the last words of the Lucille Clifton poem,

“come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed.”

Lucille Clifton

I am here, spirit is with me, my ancestors are with me, my community is supporting me. I am the possible because even after all the doors of rooms I wanted to be in closed in my face, I AM STILL HERE.

I have come to realize my purpose in life is to uplift others, have you found your why?
