Vision permission

There was a time that I dreaded the drive home from work.
During that season of life, I had allowed myself to become a magnet for chaos and crisis.
Before I knew it all of my energy was spent on resolving the problems of others, and not my own.
Instead of investing in my dreams, I suppressed them with the belief that I had made my bed and it was my responsibility to lie in it.

My journey out of this darkness was not easy.
In order to climb out of my mess, I had to give myself permission to envision a life outside of my circumstance.
Allowing myself to picture what it would be like to set boundaries and invest in my own growth was a foreign concept.
It was one that I knew would ruffle the feathers of some in my circle.
…. and I was right….

Not everyone has chosen to walk my new journey with me….
Nevertheless, their absence has created the space that I needed to grow.

Your choice to pursue greatness may very well do the same….
But don’t let it stop you.
You have every right to show yourself grace.

Go out and be all that God created you to be! 🙏🙌🔥
