Stepping Into Your Own Power

I’ve been having all of these realizations the past few days. Ones I should keep to myself, but one I feel empowered to share. I read a quote I forgot that I put on my vision board and it said, “How did you free yourself? By stepping into my own power.” Just take a second to breathe that all in. How does one actually step into their own power? Well, I think the answer is different for everyone and only you can actually know when you are stepping into your own power. I’ve realized for myself throughout the years that stepping into my own power is loss of friends, different and varying views from my family and letting go of a version on myself I grew accustomed to.

As I finished my mediation today, I came to the conclusion that my biggest blockage is myself. I’ve become so fearful of who I actually can be that I keep myself from reaching for the stars. There’s this subconscious block, one that is a huge red flag/question I have to ask myself, because I don’t know if I can actually sustain the person I know I am deep down. I immediately texted my friend my realization and he said “I’m glad you’re not sad.” Why would I be sad? At the end of the day, taking the first step to realize it’s you who gets into your own way is so empowering. Now you know that it’s you who can change it. When you take what people say at face value, you will never succeed. No one will always love me, think I’m talented, creative, beautiful, but to live life through the eyes of others and not myself, that’s where the issue lies. No one should be any form of validation other than you. That’s living life, that’s success. When it come down to it, I rather die happy than have a million friends. If I’m meant to succeed further with my blog, acting, singing, I will because I allowed myself to embrace who I am. I didn’t wait for any other form of validation. People start to believe in you when you step into your own power; that’s how you free yourself. I started to really binge today and wondered why, so then I started to sing and came up with the conclusion that it’s myself. I always block myself from true love, from life, from just being because I always think I’m doing something wrong. I’m not the answers to anyones problems but my own. Once you’ve realized your own self, you too will be stepping into your own and allowing yourself to be free.
