I wake up every day knowing that the only limits I have are the ones I set for myself. It wasn’t always this way. For years, I doubted my abilities, allowing fear and self-doubt to dictate what I thought I could or couldn’t achieve. I would look at my dreams from a distance, convincing myself that they were too big, too bold, or too unrealistic.

But one day, I realized the person holding me back wasn’t anyone else—it was me. The stories I told myself about not being good enough or not being ready were just excuses, walls I built out of fear of failing. It hit me that I was living a life far smaller than the one I was capable of.

Now, each morning is a new start, a reminder that I have the power to choose differently. I tell myself, “I am capable, I am strong, and I am ready.” These words aren’t just affirmations—they’re declarations of the woman I am becoming.

I’ve started chasing dreams I once thought were impossible. I’ve taken risks, embraced challenges, and celebrated even the smallest victories along the way. Some days are harder than others, but I’ve learned to push through, knowing that growth comes from stepping outside of my comfort zone.

The limits I used to see don’t exist anymore. The only thing standing between me and my dreams is the belief that I can make them happen—and now, I know I can.
