When you put prayers down on paper, they become magic.
“Every time I have journaled, I have seen what I have wanted to see. The outcomes, the feelings, the thoughts, and the growth. And it was because of me writing down some words on paper. But to me, those words are just prayers on paper.”
Believe in yourself.
“You can have anything you want. Anything and everything you want in this life, you can have, but it’s up to you. You have to believe in yourself. No one is going to believe in yourself like you. So I urge you to take a chance on yourself when people are telling you that you can’t.”
Write it down.
“Write those desires down, but write them in detail and be precise. Be specific about what you want. Say what is real; say what makes sense. What can you do? How will you achieve it?”
Work for it.
“I worked for every single thing I had in my life. I didn’t come from a place where people could just offer it to me. We came from a generation that survived, but now we’re thriving, so there are no excuses. Work for it. What do you want to do?”
Trust & let it go.
“Because I know my God is a good God, I let it go. I know it’s coming. Whether it’s today, tomorrow, or next year, in 5 years or ten years, it’s coming because I’m putting in the work. Because I have faith and do everything I need to do.”
What matters is the ‘Who’.
“It doesn’t matter the what, the why, the how, or the when. What matters is the who, and that’s you. You decide anything you want in your life. You have everything that you need inside of you.”
Amiga, there is no time for half-assing anything. You deserve to manifest the goals, career, and relationships you desire. Reconnect with yourself, believe in your dreams, and incorporate journaling into your daily rituals for manifesting joy.
