Hey! I hope you all are doing well. Let me tell you about my Friday night! So some friends, and I went to an open mic/poetry slam. It was really good. The first half was open to anyone who wanted to perform.
After a twenty minute intermission came the second half. This was the poetry slam, which only had 5 slots available. The cost to enter was $5, and whoever won took all of the money. Y’all..There were a lot of talented people performing! The energy of the room was just amazing..A lot of vulnerability, encouragements, and overall positive vibes.
It made me think..When did the performers break out of their comfort zones and first perform? What was their first time performing like? After sharing who they were, I realized that they were experienced performers, and ironically it tied into their purpose.
Then there’s me….The woman with the hidden talent of poetry..The woman whose words speak so loudly, yet too hard on herself and scared to let the inspiration strike those who the message is for. For years I’ve done this. I shouldn’t because internally I’m bold, and my boldness ties greatly into my purpose. Fear blanketed by comfort.
Comfort is a bitch if it’s not monitored. It is important to recognize when you’ve allowed comfort to get to that point. Make those necessary changes honey..Even if it’s baby steps. You can’t grow if you’re too busy thinking about the “what ifs.” What about the “I should’ves, ” and the “I regrets?” That shit is scary though..Growth..But it’s necessary because it aids in molding you into who you’re suppose to be.
So I challenge you..Think about areas in your life that you notice stagnation in, then think about your purpose. How do they correlate, and what are you gonna do to make the necessary changes?
