Do you ever feel like you just need to make a huge change? Are you afraid and stay with your same old ways, because it’s what you have always done and how you’ve always been? Maybe it’s time to have a personal revolution and really shake things up. I think you can start your own personal revolution by making a list of what you need to keep about you and what you really need to finally let go of. It’s time to revolt and personally attack those demons and the lies that hold you back from being a great and powerful you.
I know it sounds crazy to stage a revolution against yourself or against the pieces of yourself you are sick and tired of, but I don’t know of any other way to move forward if you are really stuck. Fight hard and fight smart and do your interpersonal work. What better day than today to claim the rights to you? Stop letting others hold you hostage to being a lesser version of you. Today is the day you take control of yourself and of your mind. Has somebody made you doubt yourself? Today is the day to fix that. Today is the day you decide that you are proud of yourself and that you will fight to become the best you can be. I know you can win that internal battle and you can revolt against all the lies.
You owe yourself this revolution and I know you can win. The past is over, the future is uncertain, but the present is a gift that can help us unwrap our true inner being. This is an inner being we can be proud of and can make us feel confident like never before. This newly found confidence can help us see anything is possible and there will be no limits for us!
