Every stage and phase of life comes with challenges that are opportunities to discover your inner strength, become more resilient and evolve in life’s journey. Things why you can’t choose to give up on yourself.

Emotional wounds or trauma carried from childhood are often the result of emotional neglect, a lack of validation, or constant negative talks from parents or caregivers. As children, we internalize this pain (which eventually becomes traumatic), which conditions us to feel unworthy and drives us to endlessly seeking for acceptance and validation from others in our adult lives.

You must realize that your worth is not defined by the pain or unresolved trauma of your caregivers/parents. Their projections belong to them, not you. The narratives you created from the pain/trauma are illusions and not your reality. It is vital to understand that God has already validated your existence and your value.

Do not allow fear, doubt, or insecurity to make you feel inferior or unworthy of the life God has granted you.
Rebuild your confidence: Actively work on rebuilding your self-esteem.
Discover your true self: Embrace the person God has created you to be and become.
Embrace your purpose: Step fully into a meaningful life while you still have the breath and strength to live it.

Affirm Yourself Daily
"I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and my worth is secured in God."
"The painful past/trauma does not define my past, present, or future."
"I release the need for human approval or validation because I am already chosen and accepted by God, my Maker."
"I am stepping out of fear and moving boldly into the purpose designed for me."

Choose today to commit to healing yourself, discovering your inner strengths, changing your narratives, owning your voice and journey while setting healthy boundaries and forgiving yourself and others.

Always remember this:
"There is no limit in life expect that which you place on yourself and allow to hold you back in a place you don't belong." - Kemi Sogunle

You are a seed not to be buried but created to evolve and become the best version of yourself while living in and with purpose. You have to nurture your seed by striving and thriving without giving up. This is why you must surround yourself with those who can water and nurture your seed as you do. Lest, you allow others to destroy your seed and alter the course of your life’s journey.

Whenever you hold on to negative emotions and feelings, your body keeps a score which later causes you to become triggered and react with anger, anxiety, bitterness, resentment, etc.

Choosing to heal may bring you lonely moments, losing friends and family and sometimes experiencing guilt/shameful feelings. Know that this is okay and part of the process. Don't quit on your growth but strive to discover your true self as you gain clarity and emerge to become the best version of yourself.

We live in times when unhealthy coping mechanisms have become habits that eventually become addictions. Addictions become repeated patterns that become a lifestyle which the society accept as norm but result in the depletion of others. Reality is that unhealthy coping mechanisms will never result in your healing or create a healthy lifestyle. Healing is the only antidote to freeing yourself from these addictions that destroy your life and that of others.

"Life isn't about being stagnant. It is about growth and learning to emerge to become the best version of yourself while still living and breathing. If you become stagnant, you may find out your life and thoughts become convoluted/chaotic...stagnancy is death to self." - Kemi Sogunle

"Courage is your ability to stand up for the truth always. Have the courage to commit to being true to yourself. Have the courage to heal your heart. Have the courage to live your best life while you are still breathing and living." - Kemi Sogunle
