I’m changing the narrative.

Someone is forever trying to write my story. They are forever trying to choose the hero and the villain.

They tell me where I can not go. They let me know what things I will never accomplish.

I’m changing the narrative. I’m choosing to be the one to tell my own story. that no longer allow fear or anger or doubt to tell my story for me. I no longer allow my finances or my age or my race or my gender to tell my story. These things are but characters for me to use at my discretion.

I decide who gets on stage. I decide who gets to speak and when. I get to determine the path of my story. I can change the story anytime I choose to. I can begin a new tale. Or I can revamp the one I am currently telling. It’s up to me.

I have been enjoying the NFL playoffs. It has been really sad how some players are being talked about. Some are being called heroes. Others are being called goats and not in a good way. The word failure has been tossed about liberally.

It makes me sad the way the world now views people’s efforts. Folk are viewed as failures or successes. The try is of no consequence. The effort appears to be of no consequence.

I’m praying that we can all get back to caring about one another and embracing each other’s try. I’m tired of this cancer culture which wants to throw out someone because of mistakes. What happened to empathy, compassion and understanding? None of us are perfect. We all are doing the best we know how.

You can change your narrative. You don’t have to accept the narrative that is being placed upon your life. Speak life over your circumstances. Speak joy over your situations. Tell the naysayers to shut up.

Be sure to encourage one another. and to encourage them to change their narrative if they need to. We got this. I really do believe that people are good at heart. They’re just too many people who are giving into false narratives, into divisive rhetorics, and to chasing clicks and being part of clickbait. I choose not to be one of those.

I’m not trying to be an influencer. I’m just choosing to use my influence for good. However, much influence I have, I choose to use that to love the world as best as I can. Speaking of which, I love you.

Have an amazing day. Make 2025 amazing.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: What are you telling yourself about your dreams? Make sure you are watering your dreams with positivity. Leave the hate to the haters. You have much too much to do. Be encouraged. You should have the things you’re striving for. You may also receive much more than you had initially hoped for. You’ll never know unless you try. Get going. The day grows short.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
