Athletes love sneakers, or athletic footwear.
Fashionistas love to wear heels with their attire.
Our life is summarized too quickly by items, and images.
A runner would not wear heels to a race.
But you can get a fly pair of sneakers to complement your outfit.
What happens when you love both?
Who said you couldn’t be the athlete and fashionista?
Too many of us have allowed people to put us in boxes.
Why does someone get to dictate who you are?
Showcasing one side of yourself does not make it all of you.
People get so out-of-pocket when you show up one day as the real you.
Remarks like, “I did not know you like that,” or “It didn’t seem to be your thing.”
Unless we are really close and intimate with others, there is only one side we really know.
For example a super model who loves comfy clothes, and does not wear make up when she is not working.
That image you see is her work image but not really her.
We can get locked into images, that we deny people access to being authentic.
How many times have you heard someone say they were afraid to be themself.
Rejection is real.
Rejection hurts deeply.
Only those who have built their self value can really soar above the unwanted list.
The list where people count you out because they are uncomfortable with you.
For all the great motivators in life, it will always be a personal decision to show up and really be you.
The upside of being the person who wears both sneakers and heels reveals that you are willing to walk away from limited thinkers.
Not trying to sound cold or mean.
But when people consistently so “NO” to the genuine you, eventually relationships change.
Relationships also develop with a whole new community of people.
Are you ready to take off the brakes, and stop worry about what they will say?
If you say yes, this moment will liberate and bring joy to your life.
You will enter into a place called comfortable in your own skin.
A place where people cheer and value the real you.
A place where you don’t explain yourself.
Are you getting excited?
You should.
All you have to do is show up fully, without excuses.
Everyone was created to be the best version of who they are.
It is your turn to shine bright without limits.
Wear the sneakers and high heels every time you walk out your door.
