How powerful are these words? Has this happened for you? Have you had shifts when you truly learned to embrace yourself? Is this something you're still working on? This is the exact space that I am in right now. I've been on this intentional self love journey for nearly 3 years and I can say that I truly feel powerful. I feel powerful finally being in a space where I authentically see and acknowledge the beauty within and around me. My relationship with God is deepest its ever been and I've connected to the divine spirit within me. I am so sure as to who I am, who I am not, what I want, what I need, what my purpose is, and most importantly, I am comfortable showing up as my authentic self without worrying how it will be perceived. It took time and a lot of work to get here, but I believe it's worth the work. There is an Alicia Keys song that I believe completely embodies this powerful quotation. "Brand New Me" "It's been a while I'm not who I was before You look surprised Your words don't burn me anymore Been meanin' to tell ya But I guess it's clear to see Don't be mad It's just a brand new kinda me Can't be bad I found a brand new kinda free Careful with your ego He's the one that we should blame Had to grab my heart back God knows something had to change I thought that you'd be happy I found the one thing I need Why you mad? It's just a brand new kinda me It took a long, long time to get here It took a brave, brave girl to try It took one too many excuses, one too many lies Don't be surprised, don't be surprised If I talk a little louder If I walk a little taller If I speak up when you're wrong If I walk a little taller I've been under you too long If you notice that I'm different Don't take it personally Don't be mad It's just a brand new kinda me Ooh, it took a long, long road to get here It took a brave, brave girl to try I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies Don't be surprised, oh, said, you look surprised Hey, if you were a friend You'd wanna get to know me again If you were worth the while You'd be happy to see me smile I'm not expecting sorry I'm too busy finding myself I got this I found me, I found me, yeah I don't need your opinion I'm not waiting for your "OK" I'll never be perfect, But at least now I'm brave I know my heart is open I can finally breathe Don't be mad It's just a brand new kinda free That ain't bad I found a brand new kinda me Don't be mad" The miracle is in your power. The miracle is in your confidence. The miracle is in your love. Get back to yourself, and let the miracles flow BE You~ By: Tiffany W. |
