Sometimes we walk around with our head down, that we forget to stand up straight, we forget to square our shoulders, roll them back and take up the space that we were created to be in.

I am Makita. First of all, thank you for sharing your time, your space and your amazing energy with me today. So today, this episode is dedicated to you, to remind you that you are uniquely made and special, and I'm not sure where you're at in your purpose If you're still trying to figure out that thing that makes you unique or special, whether you are transitioning into a new chapter into your life. Maybe you're thinking about going back to school and you're narrowing it down. What it is you want to go to school for deciding on the college. Maybe you're thinking about turning that passion project into a full-scale business. I just want you to know that I see you, and not only do I see you, i am cheering you on. I think the biggest thing that we have to get out of our head when it comes to doing the things that we love and stepping out of our own box of insecurity, is to stepping into purpose in knowing who we are. Sometimes we walk around with our head down that we forget to stand up straight, we forget to square our shoulders, roll them back and take up the space that we were created to be in, and I want you to start taking up space.

Speaker 1: 2:17

Stop apologizing for being great, for being amazing. I know in this society sometimes people tell you you know, be humble. You know, just be grateful. You can be humble, grateful, proud, boisterous and totally confident in who you are, all at the same time. While you are standing up, being your amazing self, i just want you to know that you are super amazing. You are so dope. You have everything that you need, And I don't want you to let anyone tell you that you're not ready. You need to do this. You need more of this. You need to do. You don't need to do anything, but start showing up and going for it.

Speaker 1: 3:01

I think the most important thing for you to do is to recognize that you are love. You are love, and when you are doing something intentionally, out of your heart, with the intention to show up, to create, to do something for somebody else because your talents are a gift Someone right now is waiting for you. They're waiting for you to stop questioning, to stop doubting and to start providing all of the things that you have in your heart to the world. Yeah, sure, they're probably going to be there. Yeah sure, there are going to be some people out here saying a lot of things, but, trust me, they were already saying it. But those are the people that are so insecure in who they are that it's easy for them to talk about someone else because they're not doing it.

Speaker 1: 3:55

It's easy to sit behind the curtain and say, oh, if it was me, i would do this, i would do it that way, but you're not me, you weren't designed to be me. You were given a special, unique assignment. You know what your assignment is. You're fighting it. Why are you fighting it? Why are you doubting it? Stand up, sis, stand up. You won't give in this vision, the dream, the conception, the plan. There's no way that you could see the greatness and the ideas and the gifts that you have if it wasn't meant for you. And yeah, i know sometimes you're like well, every time I try to go after that thing, i get knocked back like four or five steps.

Speaker 1: 4:43

Who said it was going to be easy? Just because you wanted, don't mean it was going to just drop in your lap and someone's going to say, hey, you want this thing, so here it is. No, you're going to be built and groomed for this. There is something in you that has to be made to take on and wear that crown. As they say, he who wears the crown, the responsibilities and the weight is heavy. So, while you are going through the struggle and the challenges that you may be facing, it doesn't mean that the crown ain't ready for you or meant for you. It just means that you're going to be learning some things about who you are. You're going to be learning some things about the role that you're about to take. You're going to be learning some things about how to maneuver through this thing, this thing called life, so that when that crown is placed upon your head, you are ready and that you can deal with it, that you can grow into it, because you're going to have that foundation built under you.

Speaker 1: 5:51

So I don't want you to get discouraged because the path ain't cleared out and you've got to make a path because you don't see a path. Now you have to be willing to be the blueprint to create that thing, to birth that thing that was put inside of you. Yes, creating the path won't be easy. You're going to have to cut down some trees, do a little weed eating, but guess what? It's still yours for the taking, it is waiting for you and all its glory. You are the dream. You are something amazing and I am waiting and I'm just watching because I see you. I see you out here. I already know you about to do something big. I already know the energy that you bring.

Speaker 1: 6:44

And, speaking of energy, i want you to look around your circle and I want you to look at the people that are in that circle with you, the ones that are encouraging you, that are by your side, helping you to get to that next level of greatness, because they see you too. And I want you to start disting yourself from those people that are not serving you, that are taking your energy, that every time you take a step forward, that they are willing to pull you back several steps because they are afraid. They are afraid that if you leave them, if you grow, then they won't have you anymore. Assess your situation, assess the people that are around you. Learn that everyone that's for you can't ride with you. There are some people that are just going to be there to support you along your journey. No one can walk it for you. They can help you cut down some weeds, they can help you cut down some trees, but they can't wear the crown that was made for you. So be patient with some people, but be careful about who you're giving your energy to and protect that energy around you. All right, i just wanted to drop in and motivate you and encourage you and let you know that I see you And I'm waiting to. I'm waiting to see what you are about to create and all that. I know that you can be All right, that's all the tea that I got to spill today.
