We all want a cheering squad! When we achieve great things in life, we hope for the roaring noise of the crowd! But what happens when there isn’t anyone in the stands? If no one said that You did a good job! You’re a great mother! You’re an excellent father! You’re awesome in your career! Congratulations on that promotion or graduation! Does that mean the accomplishment was not great? That you did not work hard to cross the finish line!
As much as we need others around, there are moments where we must pat ourselves on the back! Reminiscence when it was YOU pulling that all-nighter! Pushing to complete school when you had obstacles! Working two or three jobs to purchase your first home! Stepping out on faith not knowing the destination! Surviving when you uprooted your entire life to start anew!
And as much as we want people to celebrate with us; life happens, and we need to learn how to validate ourselves. Tell yourself Good job! Proverbs 18:21 states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” We must learn to speak to those thoughts that tell us, You’re not good enough! You’re not worthy! No one cares! Self-affirmation is not a bad thing! The root of that fruit is YOU at core! And nurturing the root produces growth, substance, and self-love!
I challenge you to celebrate your RACE today!
