My goal is to reach my potential and live a soft and fulfilling life ☺️
I want to know, love, and master myself deeply. I want to be surrounded by loving people, who strive to be their best selves, give good energy, and are kind to themselves and others. I want to be around people who have my best interest at heart.
This sounds good right?
But let me be real, I didn’t always want or prioritize this in my life. My choices, when it came to who I allowed in my life, were once pretty spooky. People took advantage of my kindness left and right.
Then one day, I had to be honest with myself and admit that everyone I shared space with didn’t share a mindset that I vibed with. They were complacent with where they were in life. Never seeking more, living in the past, not attempting to grow in any way.
That wasn't the type of life I wanted to live.
I felt like I had to shrink myself and my ambitions in order to relate to people.
Turns out, those were not my people. I didn’t want to settle for friendships or situationships that made me feel small and made life feel limited.
Like the tea bag in the photo above told me, “Your potential self is infinite”
And, so is the abundance that I have access too!
The world is my oyster and the road ahead is a beautiful one.
So, why the hell should I believe otherwise?
I reached the point of change. I decided to show up for my potential self.
I stopped settling for less, I cut off the people who no longer have access to me, and I decided to choose myself and my potential.
Since then, I was able to focus on and nurture my circle of close friends, I spent more intentional time with my loving family, I met and married my best friend aka my amazing husband, and now I’m a whole mother to a beautiful baby girl.
Here’s how I did it in 3 steps:
1. Self-Discovery: I got to know who I am. The true me behind any masks society or my fears might’ve tricked me into wearing.
2. Practice Self-Love: Once I learned who I was, I learned to love this person. The Raw me with all my perfectly imperfect quirks and gifts.
3. Set Boundaries: I realized I didn’t have to be accessible in the same ways I was with everyone before. Instead, I decided to protect my energy, my peace, and my new elevated self.
May these 3 ways help you on your journey too. Sending love to anyone learning to love and master how they live their life so they keep growing and feel limitless too! You got this! ✨💚
Say this to yourself, out loud or in your mind, 3 times
Say it as though you mean it + feel it in your body.
“I love myself in all my ways even while I work to reach my potential. My potential self is limitless and so is the abundance that is my birthright”
With love and positivity,
XO,

Love this one, Kelley! Also we live to close to each other haha I take the LIRR at Kew Gardens to work :)
This post resonated with me so much! Wanting more for yourself really does open your eyes to the fact that not everyone you share space with is on the same journey or shares the same mindset. I’ve learned that showing up for yourself means not holding on to people who don’t share the same values or push you to grow. It’s such a beautiful and empowering thing to step into your own potential and surround yourself with people who align with your energy and ambitions. Thank you for sharing your story—it’s so inspiring! 💚✨
