We as humans need routine, but at the same time, nothing lasts forever. Embrace change like a new adventure 🙃
I totally agree, maybe routines always change and thats the new thing ♥️
Wow this is a legit sign for me especially after making a really bad choice that will change my life but i know it's probably for the better ill just keep praying & having faith in God🙏🙏🙏
Yes yes yes ✨💫
@@oliviachavez7011 whichever path you choose is perfect because it’s as it’s meant to be for your journey
@@Miamia69292 Thank you so much god bless you❤
I think for me, the main thing that held me back was the notion that I had to be the best in the earliest time possible in anything I did. This society does a great job of indoctrinating us to be hyperindividualistic with our skills and our talent, and instead of collaborating with others, we think everyone is competition and if someone achieves success earlier than us, then we are inadequate and less worthy.
I had to unlearn that and forgive myself for all the times I've doubted myself simply because I was comparing myself to another unconciously. It's so sad that genuinely good people don't feel like they're enough, and that alone will paralyze you to not follow your purpose and conform to a reality that is meant to devour you.
This has been such a journey for me to learn/unlearn as well. This society does such a good job at making us think that we need to have everything figured out, when in reality no one does lol
Woah now this hit the nail on the head!😭🥲 this is literally one of the things that stopped me from starting my herbalism business because as i started seeing spirituality become more mainstream it seemed that everyone was starting to do the same thing and i couldn’t find my “niche” or my uniqueness to be able to separate myself from the majority. Idk if I’m even making sense but it’s a learning process and the social anxiety doesn’t help it much either
Ive NEVER related to a comment so much in my life. Wowowowow. You encapsulated it all impeccably. Im so exhausted of this mindset.
This is true i struggle with this as well.
Woah. This is what has held me back for a few years. But I no longer want to be a prisoner of my own mind. That will change.
The biggest thing that’s been holding me back is just my social anxiety. It’s taken so much from me and I’m just tired of being scared all the time. You’ve inspired me get out of my comfort zone a little more everyday and just see what happens❤️
Same, I recently got an oppurtunity to meet someone new. But I'm not sure if I should take it. I think it's because of the fear that the person I'm meeting up with might not be what I expect. It's the uncertainty that scares me. I kind of have a "Fuck it" attitude, so I'm more comfortable with being judged by others bc I'm secure in myself. I only want pure and genuine relationships and idk if this person I''m meeting up with is someone I can have a genuine connection with. I guess the only way to do it is to just, well....do it.
@@555ochiblvd Yeah I mean that’s all we can do, be as genuine and authentic as possible and whoever sticks will stick. I hope to embody this mentality more. I wish you luck with your interaction❤️peace and love
I know this can be hard. Go you for taking the steps everyday to get there💕
Financial limitations have always stopped me dead in my tracks however we're on beat to overcoming that rn
100 % agree! DONT listen to your fears, STOP overthinking and START listening to your intuition and passions. Anything is possible in this world ❤️
I resonate with what you are saying SO much, I just dropped out of college to move abroad & pursue my dream career NOW, there's literally no 'correct' path to getting what you want, you just gotta do what feels right for you even if it's scary :) So excited for all your new content now that you are a full time TH-camr hehe!
Congrats, that's amazing! Wishing you the best of luck with your journey💕✨
this came at the riht time.
jusr had a mental breakdown over how shitty my family are towards me and been thinking about moving out ,but im scared.
dried my tears, prayed and came to youtube to this video being the latest upload.bless u . this helped me so much
Hello, i am having the same pr9blem some times, i am so sorry because i can relate how family can affect us. Hope everything will be okay
I am so sorry you’re going through that. Sending my love and wishing you all the best❤️
@@suethecoffeeaddict this storm will be over soon for us.Thank you so much for your kind words❤️
@@LynetteAdkins thank you so much ❤️
My family is also shitty
My mental health is really on the line and what really stresses me is being unemployed
I want a job so that I can move out of this place. But I'm scared as well at that thought
Who else saw this in divine timing?? Thanks girl 🙏🏾🥰✨
Divine timing and algorithm 🌸
@@DodoToutDoux truly!! 💎
I started my business in February this year, and one of my biggest struggles has been my lack of self-discipline.
I find it so hard to motivate myself and put in the work to reach my goals.
Another struggle of mine is the imposter syndrome
You got this!!
Gotta find accountability partners ……….🙏🏽
I loved this video and the last one. I worked a 9-5 office job a few years back. I had the worst anxiety, panic attacks, bald spots. I was miserable. I wanted to quit so bad and work on just youtube and my boutique but I felt like I couldn't because I didn't want to live with my parents forever and was in debt but then I asked god to give me a sign of what to do or what path to take. The next day september 3rd 2019, my position as a finance assistant was eliminated. I was so happy but scared and it felt so surreal the first few months. Then the pandemic happened but now I am still working on content and I am able to work on my business full time and still able to get by ! I make around the same running my business if not a little bit more. I still have days where Idk what I'm doing or days I don't want to get out of bed but I remind myself of how miserable I was before and how much better my life is because I'm able to create my own schedule. But okay I'm done, I can't wait for all your new content !!! You're videos motivate me
Good luck 💖
You are watching me aren't you? I needed this to the fullest 😩 Thank you so much!
🥺❤️❤️❤️
Really need this!! I was thinking about making a youtube channel months ago but the fear stops me. THIS IS A SIGNN
Same with me! It really makes you feel free! I think you should start my friend! ♥️
Yesss this is!!💞💞
Girl you quitting your job and doing the damn thing while being so transparent just made me love you even more 🤍 keep inspiring us 😍
Needed this...❤️ I'm trying to be self-employed through things that excite me
Omg may i ask what do you plan to do? Its süper exciting i wish you luck ♥️
Speaking this into existence - you will make it happen!💞
Yesss!! ✨🙌🏽 feed your faith, starve your fears!
That glow is real! Been following for awhile and had to finally say something. I don’t know you in person but I’m so happy for you and inspired by you.
Thank you so so much❤️
So true! The fear will ALWAYS be there, you just have to not let it control or disable you.
For me it's a mix of worrying about how I'd make money, also not knowing what I want to do exactly, and not having time to explore that. Your videos are helpful and inspiring so thank you!
I was nervous before I started my travel channel. I always wanted to travel to exotic places and experience other cultures but just couldn’t afford it. I made the mistake of purchasing a home and now feel a bit trapped. But I enjoy watching others experiences. I noticed that there wasn’t enough representation of people like me who travel world wide so I created this channel along with social media and I reshare others experiences. It’s going better than I thought because I see that people actually watch the content I repost. They laugh, smile and get encouraged from it. Thank you for motivating me to post more and venture outside of my comfort zone.
choosing to ignore fear is definitely my biggest struggle atm
if I fall off my goals even for a day, I beat myself up over it. through self work I found that it was a subconscious effort to keep me complacent disguised as "holding myself accountable"
every day is a new opportunity to improve from where you were before
I know that feeling! It can be so easy to beat ourselves up, but you’re right - every day is a new day. We got this!
It is time for a CHANGE. I reject inconsistency and procrastination. Putting this here for accountability and to claim it. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Feel everything thing you are saying. I started my TH-cam channel and I swear everyday I tell myself what is the point ??? NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. Everytime the fear comes up something whispers KEEP GOING ITS NOT ABOUT YOU, SOMEONE NEEDS THIS. So I keep going even though I’m nowhere near where I think I need to be. GOD CLEARLY HAS A BIGGER PURPOSE. 🙏🏾 THANK YOU❤️
I started my life a couple of months ago, i am developing and i am most afraid of doing nothing for the first time, when was the last time that i do something for the first time? I hope i will never answer this question as "a long time ago" lots of love ♥️
❤️
I really needed this. I’m on the cusp of starting classes in UI/UX and I’ve been so scared because this year’s been me failing at getting a job and just taking Ls. This’s made me feel less afraid and alone and I’m dipping my toe in the water and designing away!
I feel the failing to get a job part. That’s been me this entire year lol
Wow I dont want to admit that I'm in tears but I just found you today and I cant believe how much im inspired already. Im 25 living in a big city alone feeling stuck and like its too late for me. When you said that part, it hit home for me. Thank you for what you do💙
What others think of me, particularly judging or making fun of me has always ALWAYS been my biggest obstacle. But now that I’m months away from being 25 I really want to get over this and start doing shit I want and not caring what everyone else thinks.
This came at the perfect time I’m
Working on opening my own business next week and I’m so nervous a lot of planning and i have my first photo shoot next week I hve so much fear in my ear telling me this won’t work 😞 but I know I have a mission and purpose in life and I can do this 💜
I've always been afraid of letting people I know, see what I really want to do (youtube) like you said you become almost embarresed at the fact that people could potentially going to laugh at your dreams. I'm so glad I no longer care what people think. It feels so liberating. ❤️
This woman is literally my role model
How ? how ? You dont even know her!!
Looking at the title, i needed this. Thankyou💓
❤️
Starting is always the hardest part because we are afraid to take risks in life but not risking will be the most regretting thing, so explore the world with your dreams, new ideas. Life will find you there
I have hesitated to socialize with others due to fear that I have nothing interesting to offer to people because my life has been so mundane.
I realize now that this belief system will never serve me, and that I need to start from somewhere.
I believe the biggest struggle that I have with going with what I want to do is not being able to do it, or I think that the dream is too big for me to do. Ever since I was little I have wanted to become a singer or an actress, and I always believed I could do it. Until I started working my first job at 18 and thought that this was my reality. I became a phlebotomist at the beginning of the year and I would always go sad to work due to happy I was, I left the job and now I am currently trying to find my purpose and to not settle for less, the younger me was sure she could do anything in the world, now I need to remind myself NOW.
😭😭 “I didn’t even look this cute back in the day” I felt that lmao great video as always!
You've inspired me to take the leap and quit my job at a big tech company to pursue my own creative business and to share more about my journey on social media! ❤
The hardest thing is to accept that I'm learning and the growth will take time. My job was a huge source of validation for me because of how important it felt, how impressed people would be when they learnt what I did, and because of the money.
But in reality I felt like I wasn't true to myself, wasn't spending my life in alignment with my values.
I'm slowly shedding that old identity and keep picking myself back up after periods of doubts. 💪
Thankful for the youtube algorithm for helping me find this video! It was a timely message.🙏🏽💯
1st COMMENT…Omg stop reading my min!!!
BUT IM STARTING MY CHANNEL TODAYYY and YOU ARE A BIG REASON.💕 YOU. You are AMAZING!!!
Omg congrats on your channel!!!
YESSSS YOU GOT THIS!❤️✨
Going to take this as a divine message and sign to just go for it -- so thankful the algorithm led me to you.
you literally are the most positive and inspiring person on youtube
i watched this video when it came out a year ago, and i'm here again rewatching and I just wanted to thank you because me last year didn't have the courage to actually start a youtube channel like i've always wanted to but this year? i am. thank you so much
I have to keep telling myself this. It’s like I woke up and all of a sudden I’m 22, about to pay for college to go into a career that I really don’t even care about. All I’ve wanted since I was young was to entertain, create music, art, and for a while I felt like I was on the path to achieving success through that. And then the self doubt and anxiety crept in. All the voices saying be realistic and responsible, you can’t be stable with that life. You aren’t the percentage of people that make it. You may as well start on your backup and once that’s stable go for your passions. And I know what I want to do, I work on these passions everyday still. But instead of putting them out for myself or others to see, I’m constantly pushing them down with the excuse that it’s not important enough. I have to get out of this cycle and back into my joys.
I definitely had a fear of starting my TH-cam channel. I had so many fears and blocks until after months of putting it off..I just started anyway regardless of failure or rejection. 💕
woah I REALLY NEEDED THIS😫
I needed this. Thank you so much❤️
I really needed to hear this.Thanks Lynette!
Love this!! I left the US last fall and it’s opened up this space of fearlessness that I’ve never experienced in my life. But even with being here, still playing it safe has really slowed down my manifestations! Money, opinions, past decisions, all that, it all slows me down. But in the times I really didn’t care, that’s when the most powerful things happened because I MADE IT HAPPEN. I’m grateful for this reminder, you’re so on point. Soooo much I’m excited to do and feel into. 💐
youre getting me closer and closer to starting my youtube channel. ive wanted to for years but im always afraid or find an excuse not to. but i just keep getting this overwhelming message in my head like "wtf, you can do whatever you want with your life"
Needed this!! Thank you for the motivation 💗😭
Thank you. I needed this.
Amazing!!!! Loved this . Thank you 💖
Literally feel like you're talking directly to me girl! The fear can be real sometimes but we need to overcome it and once we start taking steps towards what we truly want we realise that the fear was a liar anyway! Love your channel girl! 🙌🏻😍
You’re videos come at the right time always! Thank you😊 I’m actually ready to post more art❤️
Thank you so much, I needed this! 💚
This message was meant for me. The sign you talked about in your last video. Thank you🙏🏽 I'm so grateful to the Universe for drawing me to your channel.
Thank you so so much for this lovely video! I can't say how much I needed to hear this right now♥️
Definitely needed this advice today.
I literally posted my first video where I’m actually talking to the camera and I didn’t not realize how nerve racking and how much anxiety it gave me. I did multiple voice overs then scrapped those and just kept practicing and tried to not take it so seriously. We all start somewhere, I’d rather know I tried and failed than not tried at all!
Thanks for the motivation and constantly encouraging us to level up!! 💫✨⚡️
this video was so well spoken 🦋
Thank you for this ‼️
Your content always comes at the right time! Appreciate you!
thank you for the motivation !
JUST watched your video about quitting your job late last night Trying to find encouragement. I’ve been contemplating soooo much !! So grateful for this video. I’m at work right now, trying to find the courage to keep a positive frequency and not beat myself up for the Hostile environment/negative actions of others. Making a list now 💖
currently binge watching your videos! thank you so much for all that you are putting out there, you are highly appreciated ♥️
I really appreciate your videos, they help so much❤️
YES GIRL KEEP GOING ILY
Really needed this. Funny it was uploaded on my birthday!! Thanks for your positivity
I think my problem is energy... When I get off of work, I am so tired that I often fall asleep on my couch before I have the chance to work on my TH-cam channel. I need to find ways to stay more energized throughout my entire day. Thank you so much for this video!
This was so helpful. Thankyou. Love this video & love your channel🤩🤩🤩
There is so much good information here! Thank you for sharing and I hope you get all the success you deserve! 🙏😁
Awesome message! Thanks for reminding us that we create our own reality...I think most of us needed it 🙂
i really needed this, thankyou❤️ sending you any love and peace. It’s beautiful how we are all growing and blossoming
I was watching this one video about investing in crypto (lol) and the guy said, "yesterday may have been the best day to invest, but today is the second best". I'm pretty sure he was just talking about investing, but like my brain exploded because I feel like this can be applied to life too. There have been so many times where I have wanted to start something (posting fashion stuff on instagram, starting dance classes, writing a book, etc.) and felt like it was "too late" or that too many other people were doing it and I wouldn't be successful. But the thing is, there is more than enough success to go around, and it is never too late. Today is the best time for you to start, rather than being too afraid for another year.
I needed this, thank you!
*gets up outta the blankets to go slay that fear!*
So grateful to have found you!!! Currently trying to recover rom a severe Ed and self hate and your videos are so grounding and help so so much thank you xx
This video was needed 💛 thank you 🙏🏾. I’ve found it difficult to gain the confidence to go after the things I want. It’s pretty discouraging when you are working just for a paycheck and there’s no passion in what your doing. It’s been so hard lol, but watching this has inspired me to get back up and try again.
I know how discouraging that can be. Go you for getting back up, it’s not easy but so worth it!
The algorithm lead me to your channel for a reason. Thanks for the inspiration that's sound like gospel to my ears and heart ❤
You are such a light and you’re on the right path I can feel it❤️ I also love how get right into the topic in your TH-cam videos. No lengthy intro or anything. I think that is a very captivating way to start and it also makes your message feel more authentic and important. Love all the content keep following your heart❤️
Thank you so much❤️
Another reminder for me. Thank you so much 🤎
My biggest struggle is just fear, but mainly fear of failure
I swear it's like you read my thoughts. I just made a huge decision regarding my future and what I didn't want to study and my biggest fear was my family's reaction and instead, my mother consoled me and it felt amazing then here comes your video when my fear started to set in that I'd never equate to much if I didn't become this specific thing. thanks so much for this!!!
Girl I just love you😭♥️you hit every single spot, I thought I was alone feeling like this! Thank you❤❤❤
Thank you so much. I want to start a TH-cam channel and I’m being hesitant right now, then your video popped up on my phone and girl I am listening! You are so beautiful inside and out, so real and raw. Needed to hear this!
This truly is the video I needed to see today, thank you for this! 🤍 I think my biggest struggle is thinking I’m not good enough to achieve what I want to achieve! Definitely working on it
the best encourage video i've ever seen. all u said is so on point, i'm like often stop myself of do what i want and it's not even becuase of hate or negative comments. just simply stopping myself as my own biggest hater: whatever i do is not good enough, nobody will be intrested in things i do, i suck at it, there much more people who better than me, more talanted etc. and lately i started to see that message more often. i quess its a sign from universe that i really need to listen. thank u a lot what u do is amazing. keep spread the positivity, the world need it rn more then ever.
you are such a beautiful person, inside and outside. You go girl. Biggest inspiration
Usually don’t comment but I really enjoy your content. It’s motivating
I LOVE your hair in those braids! Continue to be your fabulous self, never give up on yourself ever.
I am really working on releasing my limiting beliefs and fears around pursuing my passion and even finding the right way for me to do so and also lack mentality around money. Love your videos so much Lynette!🥰
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability on this topic. We are all human. Very motivating!!
All of your videos have paralleled what’s going on in my life. For once I’m grateful for the YT algorithm bc it brought me to your channel LOL. Another thing that’s helped me with fear is knowing that it’s just a mechanism to keep me safe, and that by going after my dreams I’m not going to die (even though my body makes me feel like it). Thanks again, love your videos 💕
I'm so proud of all of US , Thank you beautiful angel this is my reminder 💞🌞🌸💓Luv YA !
Thank you for sharing this! ❤️ my biggest hold up is lack of belief in myself. For so long I have told myself one story and now I was to venture out and try something different and not traditional..and that scares me 🙈
Love Your Content! Thank you 💕
Loved this video! We share the same views on not caring about what others think of you and going for what you truly want in life. I'm currently in the process of moving to another state to pursue my dreams and it is super nerve wrecking but still I move closer to the discomfort in hopes for a brighter future. Nothing worth doing is ever easy! and not living out your potential is hard to deal with. Thanks for the video! 💗💗💗
I needed this message 😩 thank you so much ❤️❤️
I really needed this... like, my anxiety and overthinking of doing the thing I want the most has been kicking my butt lately, but this video makes me want to just stand up and go for it!
I've been looking for signs to start my youtube channel and this has been the biggest one yet.
Your videos are truly inspirational, thank you
I literally feel like you’re talking to me personally it’s crazy because I have been struggling with all of these things for so long and only recently started to work on them. Thank you for this video, it has helped more than you know
I like your hair your so amazing for making these videos and I really like this one keep your head up G
Thanks you for being you!
Great video, i am so happy to see you growing with your channel. Much love ❤️
Ugh how do you always know exactly what I need to hear?? I've been wanting to start a youtube channel for years but have always chickened out, but this summer I'm promising myself I'm going to take the leap. There is literally no better time and I just need to get rid of my fears and do it! Thank you for all of your content -- I couldn't have built up this courage without watching your videos and hearing your success story. You are such an inspiration to me and I can't wait to see more of your videos 💕
