Stop Disempowering Yourself

The risk you take when you ask someone how you should live your life is you’re no longer living a life that belongs to you.

Think about it...

When you ask someone for their opinion on what you should do, you are essentially saying, “𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦...𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵.”

And we both know that you’ve already made a decision in your head, but you want someone else to validate that decision and give you permission because you don’t trust yourself.

You surrendered your autonomy to someone else, because you trust they know what’s best for you better than you know what’s best for you.

Here’s a little secret: they don’t know what’s best for you—they only know what’s best for them. When they give you their opinion it‘s a projection of their fears, insecurities, values, traumas, and life experiences. There is no you in that equation.

They are telling you what they would do if it was their life, but this is 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 life and you need to be making the decisions for 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 life.

You know what’s best for you. You really do.

You’ve always had the answers. Those answers have been sitting inside of you, but you’ve spent years suppressing them and listening to others instead.

That gut instinct? That’s your intuition saying, “𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚍𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜.”

^^ that’s the only voice you need.

It’s time to stop disempowering yourself by giving other‘s control of your life. Give that power back to yourself and start living a life that belongs to you.
