You cannot talk about what you do without integrating into that where you’ve come from. It’s not about what you’ve been through but what those experiences taught you.

Are you a perfectionist? Are you always beating yourself up for the wrong things you have done? Are you having a hard time admitting your mistakes? If your answer to those questions is a big YES, then the first thing you need is SELF-FORGIVENESS. Often times we fall into that trap of perfectionism. We become pessimistic by thinking we're not good enough. But you have got to understand that it is ok to make mistakes. Things will not always turn out the way you want or planned them to. Never let your past mistakes define who you are now. Start giving yourself the grace to be imperfect. Admit your mistakes, learn from them and then move on.

Acknowledging the person you are today is the key to becoming the person that you want to be. But how can you truly know that you have got it, so you can truly get it and then give it? Three important things that you need to discover your greatness: Got it – This is to become aware that there is something greater inside of us that we have to tap into. There is a realization of being better. Get it – This is to work on ‘you’ and on your limiting beliefs, your negative chatter. Give it – This is the realization that you are enough and passing on that realization to other people by letting them hear your story. Do not let negativity steal your soul.

Once you got it, never stop getting it so you will never run out of something to give to other people.
