BEING THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF
YOU CAN BE WHO YOU DESIRE TO BE
Hello Friend,
It's me again; the title of today's letter speaks for itself. Are you excited because I was really excited while writing this?
I was smiling the whole time while typing and my baby thought I was smiling with her 😀😀😀 she didn't know it's the gems i was dishing out that's making me smile or don't I dish out gems in my letters? Loll I know I do because my write ups are even having an effect on my life so I'm confident it's doing something great for you my readers.
Let's jump right in. Let’s understand what being your best self means, this meaning is subjective because my version of best self might not be your version of best self. I remember my dad and i clashed a lot because i used to exercise and he thought I was doing too much but little did he know that when I exercise I spent time with myself and felt the best of myself, also most ideas pop up while I’m working out. So you see that best self is really subjective.
No matter what your definition of best self is don't fall for another person's definition. Remember the edition of our letter that was titled to thyself be true. Own your meaning, unapologetically own your definition of best self.
So for me, best self means taking control of your life. You call the shots. Remember my letter on self leading? When you call the shots and lead yourself, you basically have this self confidence. Self confidence brings out an inner glow, self confidence is sexy, and it is attractive. When you are confident you are a happier person.
The journey of best self does not happen in a day or month and it doesn't end. It is not a sprint but a marathon. Some of you take steps and you want to see results the next day, no it doesn’t happen that way. It’s being consistent that gives results. When you reach a certain level you actually aim higher until you become what I call a high end individual.
This letter is meant to be on a paid subscription but let me allow my readers grow and be the best version of themselves. Some people pay to read from me.
I am a person who has always wanted to be better. Often times I get judged and get misunderstood because a lot of people don't understand my journey. This journey to best self is a personal thing. I can't explain to everyone's because they won't get. The journey to best self is an inward vision. It is only people who are on the same journey who can understand where you are heading to.
While working on your best self keep in mind that a lot of things won't go your way, life has a way of naturally teaching you and building you and that is over coming challenges. On my journey to best self I discovered that if you don't tackle the challenge for a certain level you will not move forward to the next level. Challenges build you, when you overcome challenges it builds you to know you can weather the storm coming in the future.
Being motivated to be your best self takes a lot. You need to know your why, your why is the reason you started the journey to best self in the first place. Your why will keep you going even when it looks like best self is not achievable.
These are the things i did and I'm doing in my journey to best self
1.   I started all over
2.   I forgave myself
3.   I am kinder to myself
4.   I prioritized self-care
5.   I let God lead me
6.   I am prayerful
7.   I started to give back to people like be more kind
8.   I set my goals very clear and and specific
9.   I try to show up no matter how inconvenient it is.
10. I try my hands on hard things
11. I stopped trying to hide in the crowd
12. I contribute
13. I stopped gossiping
14. I started reading more books
15. I paid for summits and Conferences
16. I started writing
17. I started a business that can make an impact in people's lives
18. I celebrate my small wins
19. I embraced failing
20. I got more spiritual.
These might seem a lot but trust me I didn't start everything in one day. Your first step should be kind to yourself and don't rush the process.
If you work to be your best self you will always look forward to a better version because you will continue to evolve. People who met you a month ago will need some reintroduction.
Don’t forget that the journey to best self has no age and it's not a sprint but a marathon.
I wish you the best on your journey to your best self. Can't wait to see you evolve.
I'm rooting for you.
Please and please share this with your family and friends let's change lives together.
