There is nothing more sexy than personal accountability. 

There is a confidence that is built when you know and accept yourself and the parts you play in your happiness and demise. 

 

That night, she said the one thing that most people wanted to know about: “Will & I are life partners. I’m not going anywhere and he’s not going anywhere.” 

 

I appreciated her honesty. I appreciated her willingness to share HER story. 

 

Honesty requires us to accept our station in life (in this moment) and look at it with love. Not that we have to be in that place all of our lives, but we don’t try to run from it either. We can sit in it. We can experience it. We can be open to and extract the lessons we need for our personal and spiritual growth. 

 

Many of us aren’t honest because our thought process says, “How could anyone love me after doing this?” 

 

We’ve all been there. Maybe you’re there now. The beauty is that greater honesty is a by-product of self-awareness and self-reflection. And the necessity to grow does not skip over anyone…not even so-called celebrities. 

 

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. So just as the seed is placed in the dark soil (unfamiliar ecosystem) and watered (nourished) so that new life can spring forth, so are we living in these bodies. 

 

Think about this for a second: 

 

If your life was on display for ALL of the world (almost 8 billion) to see and comment on, how would you respond? 

 

What toll could that take on you? 

 

It’s one thing to have your nuclear family in your business, but it’s another thing to wake up and see your face and “your story” on the media outlets. I applaud her for living her life in a way that was and is conducive for HER and her family. 

 

I think it’s about time that we all realize that we are all on our individual journeys. How you would do something is not the way someone else should do something. We are all mirror to each other. The thing that you may not like about someone else actually has nothing to do with the other person…It’s about YOU. Check in with yourself and see where that dislike stems from. Does it serve you? Is it productive to you? 

 

At the end of the day, my takeaway was this… 

 

Drinking water and minding my business is the safest place to be when it comes to other people’s lives (close or distant). If someone wants me to know something, they’ll tell me and I’ll make sure that I am in a position to be a safe space for them. 

 

If you haven’t grabbed your copy of Worthy yet, it is a great read. I recommend it to people who are on their own journey of self-discovery and working on telling their truth. Also those who are interested in reading/listening to Jada tell her life story and defining moments that changed the trajectory of her life. 

It may just inspire you to be the narrator of your own story. 

 

 

Be Well 💛
