Sometimes healing isn’t about proving how strong we are. Sometimes it’s finally being honest enough to say, “God, I can’t carry this by myself anymore.” I’m learning that admitting weakness doesn’t make me weak—it creates room for God’s strength to meet me exactly where I am. 🙏🏾 So if you’re in a season where you don’t feel strong, don’t count yourself out. Surrender may be part of your healing. Keep pushing, keep healing, and keep becoming. 🤍🌱

Failure always brings you a gift, and the gift is called experience! ~ Carla Harris.

Okay y’all, I’m learning a lesson about comfort today. Just two weeks ago, I shared that one of my wins was having multiple interviews going at the same time. Well, today I received an offer for my first-choice opportunity—and it’s fully remote! And you would think after searching for TWO YEARS I would just be somewhere celebrating. Nope. My mind immediately started going through every possible scenario. Let me read every review. Maybe I should talk to more people who work there. What if I make the wrong decision? What if I leave and regret it? Do I really want to leave what I know for something I don’t? And then I had to remind myself: I can research, ask questions, talk to people, and gather all the information I possibly can, but I still won’t know exactly what the experience will be until I get there. I’ve been in my current role for 3½ years. I know the people. I know the work. I know the systems. It’s comfortable. And now I’m looking at the unknown, and if I’m being transparent, that’s scary for me. I can be very risk-averse. But I’ve also been thinking about this: What if I’m not making a mistake? What if it all works out? Sometimes we can get so focused on everything that could go wrong that we don’t leave room for everything that could go right. I’m still going to do my due diligence. But I’m also reminding myself that at some point, I have to be willing to step outside of what’s comfortable if I want to experience something different. Apparently, getting what you prayed and searched for can be just as scary as waiting for it.

I’ve been realizing that happiness really is a choice (like Tony says). It’s not always easy, but it’s an intentional daily thing you gotta believe. So many blessings to be grateful for!

“Some prayers take longer to arrive because you have to grow into what you've prayed for. Keep believing.” Good Morning amazing Purpose Pushers ☀️ Just a friendly reminder to you: The waiting isn’t always a “no.” Sometimes it’s preparation. There are lessons to learn, habits to break, healing to happen, and a version of you that still needs to develop. So don’t mistake the delay for denial. Keep P U S H I N G! Because when the blessing arrives, you just may realize God wasn’t just preparing it for you… He was preparing YOU for it. ♥️ Make today purposeful. Be kind to yourself and make someone smile today.
