Each of us are products of genetics, past experiences and relationships that, when combined, lead to our unique personality and sense of self. Most clients that I coach, when I first meet them, say a version of, “That’s just the way I am.”

It is almost as if no matter how hard they try, or desire to change, they feel ‘stuck’ with years and years of being conditioned to think and act in certain ways and do not believe they can move past that conditioning.

I simply want to share with you that if that sounds like you, then you are not only telling yourself a devastating lie, but you are guaranteeing that you will never change, grow or become that fearless person you once were and now desire to be.

Today, I encourage you to change “That’s the way I am” to “That’s the way I have been, but it’s time for me to finally change.”

Commit to truly taking care of yourself through new acts of creation – fight for yourself, stop giving in to false lies that you say about your worth and learn to love that scared, inner child who, as an adult, has lost faith in creating a life that you desire.

It’s time to commit to the process of creative acts.
