They Will Let You Do Everything, Don’t

“You can do anything, but not everything” — David Allen

Find your place or places in this world. The hint here is that no one is going to stop you from doing everything. You have to stay in your lane and allow space for other people’s callings. It doesn’t matter what it is. Fighting for justice, advocating for the voiceless, finding your career, even running your home. Let people help where you lack. Let people show you ways to make it easier for yourself. I was a single mom for a short portion of my life, and I understand that feeling of having to handle it all and that feeling of impossibility. Do what you have to do to take care of you, and when someone you trust offers help, take it.

Point being, don’t let people make you feel small for finding a way to live that works for you. We all do this life thing differently. Don’t let people push you into being louder, more aggressive, or more manipulative to fight battles. Don’t let people force you into roles that you know don’t fit you.

You know you. If you don’t know you, learn you. Once you know where your lane is, thrive there. If it needs to expand, that. is. your. choice.

Know Yourself.

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
