Hello, hello Hello beautiful people and welcome back to magnetize it's your girl Grace Oben. Today, I just want to talk to you about life being a journey. Life is a journey. And in the journey of life, there are speed bumps. And there are stop signs. The speed bombs and the stop signs and not give up signs are give insight science. The only limitation that can keep you bound is the one you put on yourself. Never expect things will just happen. Things don't just happen. We make things happen. Go for what you want. In life, you get what you fight for. And when I say fight, I'm not referring to physical fight. I'm referring to push pushing content, being persistent. You know, being perseverance, being consistent, being disciplined, being determined, that's the fight I'm referring to. When there is a vision, there is a provision for that vision. So if you have a vision, and you wondering what to do, there is a provision for that vision. You don't need to know everything to start just start from where you are.
Grace Oben:Like so many aspiring women I have today as a mindset and a purpose clarity coach, I initially found myself struggling desperately with low self esteem, completely lacking in confidence. I was just trying so hard, so hard to please everyone else. So, they will give me the love that I could never find in myself pill in myself of pill form itself. Sadly, on less personal issues like this effectively resolved at at some point. So many people find themselves stuck. Yes, later somehow blocked from moving forward. Simply stilled on the shadow, on the shoulder of of the road to success. Getting no where not even believing in themselves. And when we don't believe in ourselves, we are essentially blind to our gifts and our talents. When we don't believe in ourselves, we are on able to recognize our purpose. We cannot follow our passion or even pursue our dreams. There was a time I was in this place of you know stagnation, a place of pain. Yes, I know what it is. I know how it feels I have been there believe it or not as a teenager. I so wanted to be anyone else that that myself. Anyone other than the ugly loser I saw in the mirror with nothing valuable to offer to the world.
Grace Oben:My journey to where I am today was not without challenges or challenges. So I don't know the things you might have done knowingly or unknowingly that you might not be proud of it. Know what you might be going through. At this point, as you listen to me. I don't know the challenges you're going through. And I don't know the thoughts that are going through your mind. But what I know is you cannot go back and change anything
Grace Oben:you have what it takes to move forward. So letting those things hold you back, letting challenges hold you back will not change anything, neither will it help you move forward.
Grace Oben:And you are not giving yourself the opportunity to get to know the more pleasing version of you to get to know the more persistent determined version of you. You know, one of the mistakes we do is living in the past. But living in your past is going to steal your present and your future from you. Living in your past is going to deny you the opportunity to move on and fully explore the future. You might not be proud of all the baggage, but they are all in the past now. They are all in the past. The truth is you cannot go back and change any of them. So it's time to let it go. It's time to let it go. Because unless and until you decide to put the past behind you. You will not be able to create space for the present and for the future. Let it all go so that you can have it all. There is so much beauty about life. So much beauty, so much opportunity, so many opportunities. But you can only fully enjoy the beauty of life and the opportunities if you give yourself permission to fully fully embrace the future. So I encourage you today to embrace the beauty of your life. Because there is so much beauty and color in your life. Take your power back. Take your joy, take your happiness back. Take your life back. You have just one life to live on this earth. Don't let anything or anyone take your pleasure of leaving it to the fall. At different times in our lives, God sends people the people we meet along our journey of life for a reason. And for a season not all are meant to stay forever. And sometimes we can talk a place where a certain relationship is headed in the direction for separation and we hold on to it so heard that we don't want to let it go. Maybe just maybe the reason and the season for that relationship is coming to an end. Just maybe. Therefore, we must try to understand the reason of why a given someone becomes a part of our life it's so important. My journey to where I am today was not without challenges. As a matter of fact, the challenges were on ending and sometimes felt so overwhelming. There were many instances where I could have given up on my pursue that no, not me. I don't give up i don't give him
Grace Oben:I stay determined. And that's what you need to do. That's what you need to do. Every time something does not go the way you expected. Do not give up. Learn all the lessons you can learn from the experience and bounce back. Never stop fighting, never stop being determined. Never stop fighting the good fight of faith, the good fight of fight or believing winners don't quit. Winners don't quit. Be a reference point for encouragement. Don't stop trying. As long as you have breath in you keep going.
Grace Oben:If you stop trying, if you give up. If you quit, then you will not just quit. You will not just be quitting on yourself that you also you will be quitting on those who were meant to experience your influence. You are an influencer, whether you realize it or not someone some way is being influenced by you.
Grace Oben:No matter how many times you need to pick up yourself, no matter how many times you need to pick yourself up, never stop going. Remember, as I said, Life is a journey. Not a destination. It's a journey. Never be afraid of being judged. People will judge you. Whether they know you or not, they will use the lead to fame that they know about you. They've heard about you to judge you. Never be afraid of being judged. Never feel ashamed to admit if you are still figuring things out. A lot of people are still figuring things out. At every stage of life, every stage of growth. Every stage of development. We figure things out. When we master a certain level, and we make the choice to move to the higher level. At that higher level, we start figuring it out. It's just life. That's why it is a journey. So never feel ashamed to admit if you are still figuring things out at a certain level at every given level. Never be afraid to try again. The world will hardly remember your mistakes or failures that will never stop singing your praises when you succeed. Don't forget remember that so don't back out yet. Because it's not over. Oftentimes, we give up so soon. We give in so so when we face adversities in life Life is a fight. Life is a fight. We are to be determined. We are to be determined.
Grace Oben:Life will give you what you fight for. Life will give you what you fight for. There are times in life when we feel like giving up and just settle for normalcy. We feel sometimes hopeless, we feel helpless. Remember, when you give up, you will never know what it feels like. If you had gotten to the other side of success you've already persevered so much, you've already persevere this much. So don't stop now. The Journey keeps going. If you stop, all the efforts will go to waste. All the hard work you've put in will all go to waste. But if you just keep going, there is a slight chance you might get there. Just keep going. Just keep going. Take it a day at a time. A day at a time. One day at a time. Ask sick for support when you need it. You don't have to do it all by yourself. You don't need us surrounded by it. Gosh, how many people reach out for support? hire a coach. Ask a friend. Ask someone
Grace Oben:there is always going to be someone
Grace Oben:who has the answer for your question. Magnetizing the life you want your dream life is not without. Its some work. perseverance, determination, action. It comes with challenges a SWOT. But that does not mean that it wasn't meant for you. It was you just need to be determined. And don't give up don't give him remember life is a journey. And in the journey of life, there are speed bumps and stop signs. The speed bumps and the stop signs and not give up or give in signs. The only limitation that can keep you bound is the one you put on yourself. Never expect things will just happen for you. Go for what you want. In life you get what you go for. What you fight for, what you work for what you are determined to get. When there is a vision, there is the provision. You don't need to know everything to start. Just start from where you are. The journey of 1000 miles begins with a step
Grace Oben:If you don't build your own dreams, someone else will hire you to build this. That's one of my favorite quotes from Farah gray. Again, it's your girl Grace oven and have an amazing week.
