When you are surrounded by negative things it is hard to find confidence. But you have to find it. Believe that you can do it.
You were created for this moment.
Believe that you are capable and able.
Remember you are not alone.
Be confident.
This is about having or showing assurance. It is about pushing down the negative voices around you and in you. We all trust in something. There is a source that we believe in whether it is to always bring bad luck or help us make our goals. We all believe in something.
I find my confidence in God. I trust that He will make all things work together for my good. Philippians 1:6. This month we are going to be confident in the things we do and the people around us.
What do you put your trust in? Where do you find your confidence?
Today think of all of the things you know how to do. Write down all of them. Depending on how old you are the list may be pretty long. Don’t take anything for granted. And you know what? You are still learning. You are not done yet.
Remember. You are able. Tell yourself everyday.
There have been many movements that liberated people. Our history falls in to those histories also.
Madam CJ Walker was not born with a lot of opportunities. She was the first child her parents had that was born free of slavery. When both parents died she was young and was raised by her sister. But the woman born Sarah Breedlove was able.
Sarah married young and had a child. She was determined her daughter would have all of the things she never had. She started out doing the things she knew to do, but later learned new things. She was able.
A woman who grew up without parents, without a formal education, and all of the other things we are waiting on became very successful. She was able.
Tell yourself. You are able.
People of African descent have made significant contributions to society. This month is an opportunity to look at those achievements and celebrate those people.
This Month’s shirt Everybody’s History
Last month we were capable
I am able
In addition to being capable of doing something, You are able to do it. This month as we celebrate Black History and see all that our ancestors accomplished, remind yourself that you are able.
You have power, skill, proficiency, and intelligence to accomplish the tasks before you. You have the means and the opportunity.
Tell yourself this every day and watch how your life changes.
This is a Regina recommendation. I mean I have watched it and thought it was amusing, but she is a fan. I am still on the fence (only because some of the characters are annoying) But the story has it moments where it is funny.
If kind of reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore in and I’m Gonna Get You Sucka kinda of way. The main character has a good heart in a very naïve kinda way surrounded by a cast of characters that..well. You need to experience them for yourself. I am sure you will find a favorite in one of them.
Try this show. It is on ABC.
You are capable. Write down everything you accomplished this month. Even those little things. Learn to appreciate those little things. Continue to remind yourself that you are capable. You have skills and talents. You accomplish a lot every day. Appreciate your talents and skills. Value yourself.
This is a cute little murder mystery I stumble upon on Prime via Acorn TV. An antique dealer’s husband is murdered in France after purchasing a very expensive ring. When she goes to collect the belongings she discovers that her husband had a double life. The first season she spends looking for the person who stole the ring.
This story is fun, the characters are quirky and the scenery is beautiful. Sometimes the characters speak French, but it allows you to feel like the main character with her limit language abilities. I always give plus points for multiracial casts. It also has a creepy edge with sinister characters who lurk in the background.
Try the Madame Blanc Mysteries and let me know what you think.
