As We Begin This Journey

What we need to focus on as Queens.

As we begin this journey of transforming into better versions of ourselves, we have to understand that there are going to be obstacles in our path to try and distract, discourage and devour our destiny. For many, this journey is and has been a struggle. Fighting to know whether you are enough to conquer the road ahead. Contemplating whether or not your current direction is accurate and /or wondering if the vision that you saw so vividly was even meant for you.

Three Things We Need to Take Along Our Journey

Many Queens battle with the thought that they are not enough. They feel that they lack more than they have. That #self-worth is only attached to a degree, a title or a profession. Many focus on their external characteristics instead of the character within. As you realize that you are #enough and that God has supplied you with the tools you need to be successful, you can begin your journey equipped with the tool of "#Acceptance."

"Embrace the Queen you are. You are enough. God wants the “Uniquely” you version."

As a woman who's traveled starting at a young age, I learned that women are talkers. We like to converse and chit chat with our husbands, best friends, family members, co-workers and sometimes strangers. Don't let us have any comment, concern or complaint because we tend to jump at the opportunity to express it. Whether we are upset, excited or apprehensive about something, we should be observing and selectively choosing our words. When you #speak and what we #speak has the power to uplift, tear down and/or demolishing a person, situation or purpose. Once you can understand the significance of your speech, then you can obtain another tool to carry along the way; "#Word #Attraction"

"Be careful what you speak. Life and Death are in the power of your tongue. We can progress or prolong our own destiny by our words."

Going down a road that you have never traveled can be "scary". For most, especially those that struggle with having to be in "#control, the unknown can cause you to be uncertain and unfirm. Being able to dig your feet into the ground of #perserverence is going to be a tremendous partner that will assist you throughout your venture. Jotting down who you are, what you are, when you are to move, where you are going and how you get through; all look great down on paper. Unfortunately, life does not always coincide with what it written, and we tend to have to travel "unfamiliar" territories. When you acknowledge that you cannot complete this passage without God and you are ready to trust him, then you acquire the tool of "#Faith. "

"All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed. Have faith and build up your faith currency. Faith without works is dead. You have to TRUST that God is enough!"

Of the three tools that you need when starting on your self-growth voyage, can you tell me which one comes from another Queen? Your family? Your friends? or Your co-workers? Absolutely none of them.

All these tools are found right inside of you. Only you can accept who you are and indulge in what makes you unique. Every #Queen is the sole owner of their tongue and the master dispensary of her faith. Now, I pray you have a better understanding that everything you need to be successful is inside of you. Queen, get your comfy shoes and active wear on because it is time to get to stepping into your destiny.
