My dad would always tell me, "Tiffany, you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to." Thank you, Dad, for this gift. Imagine a world where we are never told our perceived limitations. Words are powerful. What words have you allowed to limit you?

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me. NOT TRUE!! Words are powerful. Tiffany, I'm so glad your dad encouraged you to go after what you wanted. Thank you for sharing this inspiration!

I'm certainly glad, too. I wish everyone could experience that kind of encouragement. Glad to provide a daily dose of positivity! ?

How wonderful that you got this message. I got no such thing. Every step forward has been by trial and error and to this day, long after my dad has passed, my mom declining with age, the message is, “When will you ever get it together? or, I sure hope you know what you’re doing”. Our family was blessed with intelligence but has been marred by intergenerational trauma. I often wonder how far I could have made it with different factors and people around me.

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that. I see so many people with potential but fail to believe in themselves. I always have to ask myself what made them believe otherwise. I hope you start a different narrative within yourself, and more importantly, begin to believe it! It's never to late. ❤️?

Belief in ourselves can be elusive without encouragement. I've been working on that for years now, but you know what helps? Surrounding yourself with people who DO believe in you. I agree with Tiffany - it's never too late! You've got this.
