I found my voice--not the one that existed when I was trying to please everyone, but the one that surfaced after I realized who I am. For so long, I would wait for confirmation from others to move forward. I was afraid of being judged. I was afraid to stand in my own light. I allowed people to control my light switch. I let them turn it on and off when they chose. I hid behind their words and their opinions.

I felt that I needed acceptance in order to succeed, but I was wrong. The hardest challenges came when I was alone. No one was there. At first, it frightened me. I felt lost. It was then that I realized that I had power to move and exist in my own light. I was strong enough to stand alone. It was then that I discovered who I really am.

Now I am living for me. I am walking in my purpose, no longer looking over my shoulder or tilting my head to catch the hearsay. My life is my own, and I have taken control of who I am and what I stand for. I write my truth, and I speak what's in my heart. I can't worry about the things that I can't control. There will always be negativity, but I have learned to drown it out. I have to live my truth.

This is a journey of self-discovery, an art of reinvention. The beginning of the journey is self-love. True self-love shapes our inner image and then resonates on the outside. I will no longer be afraid to be myself, empower myself, and encourage myself.

Your life is your own. Love it deeply. Live it boldly. And in doing so, someone else will be inspired to do the same. I love you.
