Girl, girl, the most important thing that you can ever do for your future is to start living your life for you. Not for everyone else's approval. Not waiting for permission to start living the life that you actually want. And not building an identity around who you were told to be, not who you know that you are deep down. We're not just here to call out, we're here to actually fix it. So here are three ways for you to take your life back and start living life for you. Number one, you need to stop living life searching for everyone else's approval. You don't even know what you think anymore. So what do you actually want? Not what looks good on paper, and not what your parents want. But what do you want? And if you cannot answer that question fast without worrying about what someone else might say, you've been living for someone else's approval for so long, it became your default, and we need to fix that. So you're gonna write down what your life would look like if no one else had an opinion about it. What would you live? What would you do? How would you spend your time? What are your passions? Most people don't even know the answers to those simple questions because they've been trying to fit themselves into a box of what they think their life should be like, because they're scared of what people might say, how they might react, what they might think, but that does not matter. This is your life. Number two, you got to stop waiting for permission. You're waiting for the perfect time, for the right moment, for that person to tell you, hey, you know what, that's a good idea and you should do that. But guess what? That permission is never coming. You all know how common it is for people to judge, judge, judge until they see that it works out and then they want to know how they can do it too. You need to be able to give yourself permission to live your life because you are the only one that has the opinion that actually matters. And that feeling of being ready, it will never come before you start taking action to get there. You're not gonna build that business today. You're not gonna become a famous actress today, whatever it is. You do the first little step that you need to do to actually make it happen. Number three, now number three, you need to understand that you've been caught in a loop and a pattern for a while now. So it's not gonna be an overnight fix. You're gonna be needing to make in-the-moment corrections that way you can actually build a life that you actually want. Most people, they'll try, they'll get the ball rolling and then they'll stop because they default to their old patterns. You need to have a rainy day plan. Figure out what your biggest obstacles are. What are your biggest roadblocks? Is it other people's opinions? Is it yourself? And do you stop yourself from following through? You need to understand what those are, that way we can have a plan for when they inevitably happen. When you notice that this stuff starts happening, you're feeling discouraged, what are the first few things that you're gonna do to make sure that you can get back on the right headspace? Because most successful people in life, they're not the ones who never had a bad day and never fell off. They're the ones who prepared for when that time did come and knew how to overcome it.
