For a long time, I doubted myself.
I made myself small.
But I am not here to play small.
I am not here to fit in a box for anyone.
I am not here to impress.
I am here to live, learn, and put good into the world.
I’ve seen what poison does to the body, mind, and spirit.
I’ve felt what it’s like to be around people who radiate truth and love… and I’ve also seen those who conform, who settle for the narratives handed to them.
Everywhere you turn, there are marketing campaigns:
The next big bag of Cheetos.
Chocolate bars with zero nourishment.
Soda that corrodes health one sip at a time.
Drugs and injections (Ozempic, quick fixes) that promise fat loss but keep people sick and dependent.
I See You. I See Me.
I see the many versions of myself that have existed:
The version of me that got bullied, then learned to stand tall.
The version that was soft, but became strong in body, mind, and spirit.
The version that cared what others thought, and later learned to give grace—to myself and others.
The version that hid in insecurity, now unafraid to speak, to stand, to lead.
The version that once drowned feelings with drugs, but found the breath—the breath that brings clarity, control, and peace.
Lessons of Becoming
The old me didn’t understand why people weren’t loving, encouraging, and present.
He didn’t understand why negative voices filled his head.
But I’ve learned:
Those voices are not who you are.
They are stories, wounds, and programming passed down from others.
Where focus goes, energy flows.
I chose to become the version of me that grows.
The version of me that chooses self-love, discipline, and vision.
Sink or Swim
Like you, I learned to swim—not because I was guided step by step, but because life pushed me into the deep water.
Sink or swim.
Fight or rise.
This is life.
And when you learn to swim in deep oceans—when you face your challenges head-on—you realize:
We are always in the process.
Always becoming.
Your Turn
So ask yourself:
How do you want to live?
What version of you will rise today?
What is one decision you can make now that will shape your future self?
Quote of the Day
“Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.” — Don Miguel Ruiz
