I want to give a shout out to my girl, Carla Thompson, known as @cwrite101 on Twitter and author of The Ride, her blog. I had mentioned how, deep down, I believe my voice isn't valid enough for me to say all that I wish to. She had this to say in reply:
Seriously, the temptation is always to look to the right or the left for validation even though we know we are more than enough.
She reminded me that I've allowed myself to lose focus on my truth and discovering the depths of what my truth is. With all sorts of outside influences are pressuring you, whether they be friends, family, money, media, debt, education, etc., it becomes increasingly difficult to hang on to your truth. When we become distracted and forget our own strength and our own voice, everything else we do decreases in it's effectiveness. Our impact dwindles.
Earlier this year, I was introduced to Mr. B. Scott, a YouTube legend, and for good reason! You never know what to expect from him. Sometimes he's totally outrageous and hysterically funny, other times, he is on it! When he feels the need to bring truth to all his love muffins, he tells it like it is and leaves you feeling so empowered. His dedication to being nobody else but himself and making his dreams reality is tremendous.
Please watch and be encouraged. Walk in your truth and step forward in faith!
Be sure to follow Ms. Carla Thompson on Twitter @cwrite101 and vist her blog The Ride. B. Scott is also on Twitter @LoveBScott and on YouTube.
