Jay-z’s iconic line from Nice on The Carter’s ‘Everything is Love’ album rings in my ears these days:
What would you do you knew you couldn’t fail
I have no fear of anything, do everything well
As I continue to grow as a person, I realize that I am the one who holds myself back from everything. It’s easy to externalize all sorts of reasons and excuses, but ultimately, I am stepping into the fact that my own beliefs about my potential are what stand in my way.
When I feel the fear creep up lately, I channel Jay and visualize a positive outcome. What if I couldn’t fail? What if?
I was thinking this morning – I am most proud of this space I’ve created online through meeshyd.com. After all of these years, this is where I feel at home. I love what I’ve made here and I love the medium of blogging the very best. I can’t wait to be back and just write from the heart.
I have been feeling so great lately after going through an incredibly tough time earlier this year. It was depression and it was grief and it was shedding old parts of myself that I had outgrown. I left my victim mentality behind and turned an entirely new corner. I feel better than I’ve ever felt in my life. I feel unblocked inside, ready to take on the world from a place of hope, positivity and positive expectation.
The changes I’ve made inwardly are showing on the outside. I am confident and strong and full of vitality and reveling in the beauty of my physical form, thanking God for making me. Watch out world!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi this Sunday. I’ve had the most magnificent quiet time this morning. I’m about to clean the house and go to the grocery store. I’m making homemade french onion soup and having a friend over for dinner tonight and I honestly cannot wait. It feels a little bit like pre-pandemic times and I’m welcoming it with open arms.
Life is so, so, so good friends. I hope you are having a magnificent day.
