I don’t want to walk through life on my tiptoes

 

I don't want to walk through life on my tiptoes 👟

Shrinking myself or my thoughts or my feelings or beliefs
In order to be accepted or loved by those around me

I wasted too many of my younger years doing that...
Being so worried and consumed with whether or not I was liked
Or whether or not I was 'in' with the in crowd

And all it did in the end was make me feel worse
I felt smaller, more alone, more unlikeable and more invisible

It’s not an overnight process, by any means
But learning how to stand tall in our power
To walk with conviction and confidence

It starts to expand everything about you 🌟

Your presence becomes more potent to those in your life
You learn how to honor yourself and your heart, without shame

And more importantly, you give less and less of a fuck what anyone else thinks about you 💪🏽

And when that happens, you start to really shine ✨

Because the truth is: your super power is that you are *you*
And no one else

And the more you try to contract yourself to please anyone else

The more we lose the unique gift to the world that is you and who you are 🔮

I know it’s not always easy, friend
But you are so worth of being able to show up fully as yourself

Spread your wings with pride 🦋

And know that I’m right here with you, cheering you on
Every step of the way
