So I find that most times people are always complaining about what they could be, what they want to be, what they're going to be, what they're going to...

People are always complaining about what they could be as opposed to what they are.

And I find that once you get stuck in that loophole of just thinking, oh, I'm the main character, and you think, oh, because you're the main character, you're being sassy, you're always complaining, you're always talking about, oh, my God.

There's a certain level of kindness that you get to where you get to a certain level of strictness and a certain level of strictness that brings you to a point of discipline that, you know, only you can get yourself to with the grace of God.

So that being said, when it comes to owning your story, I feel like it's not like I feel like when it comes to owning your story, you really need to understand and be true to yourself about where you're at and who you are and what you want to do and where you want to be.

And it really could be anything because at the end of the day, on Judgment Day, trust me, there's going to be my wife, my husband, my mommy, my daughter.

tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock time is going this is the time for you to step into your new eras as who you want to be i don't know that a lot of women are becoming versions of themselves that they wanted to see when they were growing up i think this is so important because you know it's not only just for you to see but it's going to heal your inner child and you see you need to be proud of the woman you're becoming and it's so important for you to be proud of her because You see, leaning on external validation will fail you.

Once you're really getting this right, people already assume, and it's not always from a place of like, people are hating on you.

Or honestly, whether or not they're clapping or not, you need to be your biggest cheerleader every day.

It's not about who hurt you, who did not hurt you, who stole your biscuits on the playground, who did not give you their invite to the birthday party, you know, when you wore the red dress, the atmosphere now changed.
