31 streams – happy birthday edition

Thought streams are ALWAYS my favorite, and it’s a never-ending promise that when my birthday is coming, my mind wants to purge EVERY thought. So here’s my stream for 31. May the growth be as deep, and intentional as all the years before.

Self-care

1. You feel your greatest moments of peace and connection, deeply entangled in thought with another person. When you can equally explore things with others, you elevate to a higher level of purposeful connection.
2. When you stand up for yourself, you are choosing yourself. Never stop choosing you, and others won’t be able to resist choosing you either. If they can, they aren’t for you. Let them go with love.
3. Putting a time limit on God’s blessings will almost ALWAYS bring you anxiety and discomfort.
4. Enjoy what is, reject what isn’t.
5. Nothing for you will EVER come by way of difficulty… It will always flow to you. What wants to leave — is not your destiny.
6. Do your actions reflect on drawing towards your end goal?
7. It’s ALWAYS too early for inconsistency. If you’re showing up, always do your best.
8. Stop doing things you don’t like. Stop accepting the presence of people you learn early on that don’t align with you.
9. You thrive in the space of proactivity. When you become reactive, that’s when you’re your worse.
10. Honesty never costs.
11. You are the true source of your happiness.
12. Luxury is your right.
13. Although you’ve redeemed yourself from struggle once, it doesn’t mean you’ll be forced to do it again. Accept ease.
14. You are home. Home is within you.

Love

1. Every thing, in every moment, doesn’t need a definition. Some things just are. Accept that and let it flow.
2. Not all men deserve a title. Some are there to teach you how to love.
3. Overthinking is a sign of distrust. If you’re over-thinking, you don’t feel safe. If you don’t feel safe, you shouldn’t be involved.
4. You are the true source of your happiness.
5. Some men love the thought of you but lack the ability to deliver the quality standards required to share the gift of you.
6. Heartbreak is ALWAYS the closure you need.
7. Intimacy exists outside of physicality, and intimacy is extremely important to you.
8. Your heart will always shrink from being hurt, but it will eventually return to its great size. Don’t allow hurt to taint who you are at your core.
9. Communicating clearly isn’t labor.

Life

1. You’re the author and the editor. Never stop producing the life you deserve.
2. Your triggers are a sign you’re ready to heal. Lean in.
3. Nothing will happen for you if you don’t put in the work.
4. Being afraid of your greatness won’t make you any less great.
5. Every day won’t be *perfect* but every day is another day to be a little bit better than the day before.
6. You aren’t fearful of others’ judgment; you’re fearful of the judgment you provide to others as a reflection of your feelings about self.
7. Impacting the lives of others is just what you do.
8. As you continue to evolve, your life will too. Don’t hold on to the past because it provides comfort and familiarity. It will always be more comfortable to let go than to hold on and be dragged.
