To be bold is to go beyond the usual limits of conventional thought or action.
I love that our fashion sense reflects our personality in many ways. For example, I am generally bold and not afraid to do what I want including wearing things that make me stand out.
See I have come along way on the journey of self love and not allowing society to dictate what i want to eat or wear or do. It’s taken being hurt by others, being used and abused but finally learning to stand up for myself. If you ask me how??
Two things.
- Having a relationship with God has given me the validation that I am more that just an African woman. But that I am created with a purpose to be a light in darkness.
- I learnt to help myself before someone else did. Someone wise once told me that when you fall in a ditch, you need to start climbing out and then someone can help pull you out. If you wait for someone to help you first, you might be waiting a long time.
Its very easy to settle for a mediocre lifestyle but i just want to encourage someone reading this post that you are created for a bigger purpose than what you are settling for.
You and I are not different in that we are all special in eyes of someone. The only thing that sets us apart from others is the willingness to step out of our comfort zones and go to new places.
I believe that if you want to make a change in your life, you need to be willing to try something new. Stop allowing society to dictate your life. They ain’t got nothin on you.
Dream bigger, aim higher, wear whatever you want and live a colourful adventure.
