GOD, GOALS, GRINDING, GROWING & GLOWING.

If you give yourself the bare minimum, that’s exactly what others will give you—and what you’ll accept. Anything slightly above that will feel like a big deal. You may feel like you have to settle for whatever you’re getting because you’re afraid that if you ask for more, they won’t give it to you. And you might be right—those people won’t

But when you start giving yourself more, you naturally stop looking for people who give you less. You won’t want it, and you won’t accept it. The fear of not receiving more than the bare minimum disappears when you stop giving yourself the bare minimum first

“Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.”

[thevirgodoll]

dedicate life to something bigger than yourself. find your philosophy and embody that. remain on the path by upkeeping discipline. outside influences can lead you astray and trip you up but it's really you. YOU are the difference between stumbling and getting up versus continuously stumbling and remaining flat on your face. YOU have to order your steps and remember how to navigate life again. so you might as well find a "why" in life so you have a reason to keep going. big or small, just find something to hold onto while you're rebuilding that trust to keep going.

It is okay to disappoint people. In fact, it’s often necessary. When you choose to stay true to your values and beliefs you will inevitably let others down at times, but that’s not a reflection of your worth. It’s a sign of self respect. You are not responsible for managing everyone else’s expectations at the cost of your own well being. People who genuinely care about you will understand and those who don’t were only invested in what you could offer them, not in who you truly are. Disappointment is temporary, but betraying yourself to please others creates long term resentment. Honor your path, even if it means not meeting everyone’s expectations.

One of the hardest parts about trauma is overcoming hyper-independence and understanding that you don’t have to do everything by your own strength. That there’s no virtue in suffering and doing everything entirely on your own. That it’s okay to have expectations for how you want others to show up in your life, and those expectations don’t make you a burden. That having faith means letting go of the belief that everything is in your hands and instead trusting your future to someone greater than you.

Overcoming hyper-independence is a journey in itself.

Be Approachable and Have Good Conversations with Anyone

Being approachable and engaging in good conversations is a valuable skill that helps build relationships, create opportunities, and enhance social interactions.

1. Cultivate an Approachable Presence

Smile Genuinely: A warm smile instantly makes you look friendly and welcoming.

Maintain Open Body Language: Avoid crossing your arms or looking distracted; instead, keep an open posture and make eye contact.

Dress Comfortably and Appropriately: Your appearance should match the setting while reflecting a confident and approachable demeanor.

Use a Warm Tone of Voice: A friendly, upbeat tone makes people feel comfortable speaking with you.

Be Mindful of Your Energy: Positive and calm energy attracts others, while nervous or negative energy can push them away.

2. Start Conversations Easily

Use a Simple Greeting: A friendly “Hello,” “Hey, how’s it going?” or “Nice to see you!” can break the ice.

Comment on the Environment: Noticing something about your surroundings, such as “This place has a great atmosphere,” makes for an easy entry point.

Ask Open-Ended Questions: Questions like “What’s been the highlight of your day?” invite longer, more engaging responses.

Find Common Ground: Shared interests or experiences make conversations flow naturally.

Use Light Humor: A little humor can ease tension and make interactions enjoyable.

3. Keep the Conversation Engaging

Listen Actively: Nod, maintain eye contact, and respond appropriately to show you are engaged.

Ask Follow-Up Questions: If someone mentions an interest or experience, ask more about it to show curiosity.

Share, but Don’t Overshare: Balance speaking about yourself and showing interest in the other person.

Avoid Controversial Topics Too Soon: Stick to neutral or positive topics unless you know the person well.

Adapt to the Other Person’s Energy: If they are excited, match their enthusiasm; if they are more reserved, keep it calm and steady.

4. Overcome Social Anxiety and Awkwardness

Practice Self-Confidence: Remind yourself that people enjoy good conversations and are likely to appreciate your effort.

Embrace Pauses: Silence isn’t always awkward—take a breath and let the conversation flow naturally.

Don’t Fear Rejection: Not every conversation will be perfect, and that’s okay. Focus on learning and improving.

Prepare Conversation Starters: Having a few go-to topics, like recent events or shared interests, can help when you're stuck.

5. End Conversations Gracefully

Look for Natural Endpoints: If a conversation starts winding down, use that as an opportunity to wrap it up.

Express Appreciation: “It was great talking with you!” leaves a positive impression.

Offer a Future Connection: If appropriate, suggest meeting again or staying in touch.

Exit Politely: Say something like, “I’ll let you get back to your day, but it was great chatting with you!”

Final Thoughts Being approachable and having meaningful conversations takes practice, but with time, it becomes second nature. The key is to stay genuine, listen actively, and engage with warmth and curiosity. By implementing these tips, you’ll find it easier to connect with others and build strong, positive relationships.

Get over the shame and the lack of confidence and the fear of failure and the imposter syndrome. Nobody cares. Some people are cruel and mean and love to watch others fail. So what? Do you really want to prove them right? Get the fuck up, we’re chasing our dreams like our lives depend on it because, in case you forgot, they do.
