Why iBelieve in the #LawofAttraction...
Since childhood, I saw myself—and often daydreamed of becoming—a musician, singer, actress, and model, performing across the globe. I carried a quiet belief that one day, #THETALKBOXQUEEN "The 1st Queen of the Talk Box!" ™ 💯 would become a household name, and that I would earn a living doing what I loved most: music.
As children, adolescents, teenagers, young adults, and even as we mature, many of us imagine the life we hope to live when we grow up. We visualize it. We feel it. Those dreams bring excitement, wonder, and possibility. But somewhere along the way, life begins to unfold. Responsibilities increase. Circumstances change. We experience loss, transition, and uncertainty. Sometimes, we lose focus. Sometimes, we lose confidence in the very visions that once gave us joy.
We may also begin to absorb the thoughts and opinions of the world around us—messages that encourage us to be practical, to stay within limits, or to choose security over possibility. Financial pressures, family obligations, and social expectations can quietly reshape how we see ourselves. Over time, doubt can grow where belief once lived.
But even then, something within us remembers.
Take a moment. Think back to what you have always wanted to do, create, or become.
(Hmmm… Doesn’t that exciting, tingling sensation feel wonderful?)
Whatever “that” was, it speaks to something meaningful within you. It reflects your passion. And it is never too late to begin moving toward the life you once imagined. Our thoughts are powerful, and sometimes we do not realize how deeply they shape our direction, our choices, and our willingness to begin. Over time, the thoughts we return to most often begin to influence what we notice, pursue, and allow ourselves to experience. Whether those thoughts encourage us or discourage us, they can quietly guide the paths we take.
Fact
The sun is approximately 92,960,000 miles from the earth, and its light reaches us in about eight minutes. In its own way, this reminds me how quickly something unseen can become felt. Our thoughts, too, can travel far—reaching into our actions, our confidence, and our sense of what is possible.
Imagine that.
Whatever we gently and consistently feed our psyche begins to shape how we experience life. Our thoughts and words carry influence, and over time, they can become the beliefs we live by.
“I am” and “I’m” are simple phrases, yet deeply profound. Each time we say, “I’m tired, I’m broke, I’m wealthy, I’m lonely, I’m depressed, I’m happy, I’m beautiful, I’m too dark, I’m not pretty enough, I’m too light, I’m too fat, I’m too skinny,” we begin to form a belief about ourselves. These statements, repeated over time, can shape how we see ourselves and what we allow ourselves to experience.
Self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-confidence are essential. How we treat ourselves teaches others how to treat us. How do you want to be treated?
