This is the video Terre shared with us on instagram, I had watched it a few years back when I was on a motivational video binge, she is the reason I stopped getting my nails done. Terre inspired me to watch it again, and I want to share with you the things that stood out the most to me. Hopefully you all get a chance to watch it and share your thoughts as well !
“Everything I need to get back up, I have in me, If I don't have what I need, I can go get it.”
“Hurt people hurt, sad people make other people sad.”
“You want to make me extraordinary, because it lets you off the hook.”
“We are all waiting for perfect, it's an illusion that will never come to you, it's an excuse to never show up and play.”
“Good people should do well, because when good people do well, good people just do more good in the world.”
“I was willing to completely die to any from of me that I have been, so that I could birth the women that I was becoming.”
“Another reason why people won’t get there is because the doorway is for you to fit through, You tryna carry everyone else through cause you tryna be rescue 911 and you gotta rescue you first. I am much more valuable to my family and to my community because I was willing to let them go, go through the door myself, teach myself, condition myself and then come back and get them. I am much more valuable to them now”
I relate to this particularly when it comes to my mom. My mom is not exactly financially stable, and I feel the pressure to help her out beyond my means. I sometimes feel like I can barley take care of me, I may not be able to help as much as I would like now but I am working towards a better future for us.
“I don't ever want to think I arrived”
“I went to people that was about serving others to the highest level, you see I make a lot of money, because I serve more people. All your success is on the other side of service. People trying to make money; if it begins and ends with money, it's going to be a short lived victory, but if its about transforming lives, then the wind keeps going and going and growing and growing.”
“I was willing to be the student first, ... number two: I looked at every toxic behavior in my life, every one”
“If you wake up everyday and say; I have nothing to protect, I have nothing to prove, I have nothing to hide, I have nothing to defend. Now who do I choose to be? Because your energy is consumed with protecting, proving, hiding and defending, but if you let go of that, then now you're in creation.”
“You want someone celebrate you, more than you celebrating yourself.”
“The world is looking at you and following your example on how to treat you.”
“I was everything for everybody, but nothing for myself.”
“I started everyday celebrating Lisa, forgiving Lisa, and making a commitment to Lisa, and then I was wiling to invest money in ME ..., literally.”
“I was willing to inconvenience my entire life, ...I was willing to disrupt my entire life to buy my future, to buy my possibility, to give my dream a chance. See we’re not supposed to tuck our dreams in on the pillow when we get up in the morning, were not supposed to leave them at home and go and fulfill someone else's dream, were not supposed to do that, that's not what we are wired to do, that's not who we are. Your HUMAN SPIRIT doesn't care about the economy, the human spirit doesn't care that my sons father went to prison, the human spirit doesn't care what happened to your family, the human spirit doesn't care about the past...Your HUMAN SPIRIT doesn't care about any of that! Your HUMAN SPIRIT simply says ‘What’s our command for tomorrow? What do you want to create?...’”
“Im just here to tell you JUMP! Because only three things can happen; your either going to jump and fly, or you're going to jump and fall on something soft, or you're either going to fall and land on something hard, either way you're going to get back up.”
“Your Greatest fear is not that you will fall, your greatest fear is the you will live a full life and never fly.”
“Money just buys better memories”
“I was willing to be incovenienced for my conviction, If you go where you’ve never gone, do what you’ve never done and say what you’ve never said, you’ll become the woman and the man you’ve always known yourself to be.”
“To make sleeping and complacency, difficult.”
“Other people’s perception of you ain’t none of your business, its your job to do the best you possible and in doing you, you inspire us.”
Stop wasting your time on what others think of you
“You are an unrepeatable miracle”
“He’s going to find his best lessons in his biggest mistakes. so don't be afraid of mistake”
“I love transformation more than I love motivation”
“An exercise called Expose the Lies” (40:23)
Write down a list of lies in pencil and leave space between each lie
Write down every lie you tell yourself (just about money)
Write down all the lies you have told yourself about who you are
Write down all the lies you have told yourself about relationship{romantic, family, friends)
Write down all the lies you tell yourself around health and fitness
Write down every all the lies you tell yourself around your spirituality
Write the truth down in between each lie (even if you can't believe it yet, in red pen)
Read for two days at least x4 a day; The lie the truth, the lie, the truth (neurolinguistic programming)
After the second day, erase the lie, so then you are just left with the truth
“Run after it like your late for work”
“It’s not anyones job to complete you”
“Consciousness is very important but it means nothing without action.”
“Action is the prescription to success.”
“We use try as a crutch to say i really don't want to do it, but I don't want to tell you now”
“The truth is sexy, and it's liberating, and it's sobering.”
“Some of us are just as afraid of being loved as we are afraid of being left, can you give the world permission to leave you and love you”
