The Need to Be Liked


“To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly.” 
― BrenĂ© Brown



gentle reminder to self:
wanting to be liked is hard work & a poor use of energies
wanting to be understood is just as much hard work as wanting to be liked
wanting to keep others’ “good” opinion of you is overrated
why are you Here?
not only to be liked
you are on a journey, one that you consciously chose to be authentic and show up as yourself every single time, & that walk may inadvertently involve stepping on toes many times unintentionally, especially when new people are met.
make all steps with the intention of love and kindness noting that some may interpret this differently
you are full of boldness, of courage, of courageous moves, dreams that are too big for some to see,
you are full of curiosity, questions, questions, questions & more questions
you are so much more than being liked
you are love
a woman wanting to learn, to grow to share, to support your sisters, to be, to flo
you are willing now, to do all of that, as YOU
minus the overthinking & the need to be liked
you are willing to remain kind as you step into the arena
this will require courage, change, openness, letting in, letting go, sometimes tears, embracing vulnerability & some conflict may inevitably arise. Do not shrink!
you are here to share lessons on the journey downloaded directly to you from the most High
so… when you get scared that they will no longer like you remember to stand on what you know
on what you came here for
remember that you are a human be…ing, you have issues as well
remember that walking this path requires courage that you already possess
remember that there is no compromise on who you are
& why you are here
