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.

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.

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.
