#OwnyourTHRONE

I have spotted the hashtag “own your throne” on Instagram so many times and while I love it’s relevance I definitely would love to steal it from whoever created it and break it down a little and use it to inspire someone.

Today I would love to share with you some inside info that I have personally used and I know a lot of successful folks out there can vouch for. Before we start let me share with you this beautiful thought from the gorgeous Marjorie Harvey who also happens to be a Blogger :

“Thought is energy. Thoughts, concentrated on a specific notion or idea, turn into power. Whatever you focus on every day, you give the power of your being to. Therefore, thoughts are extremely important”.

It would then makes sense that for you to own your story and truly appreciate your essence as a woman you have to mind what you think and the actions that follow suit. A lot of the times the most successful stories come from heart ache, poverty, illnesses or some disadvantage of some sort. That alone should tell us that there is potential to succeed.

Before I get distracted in my thought process let’s get back to the topic “Owning your throne”. You cannot see the future if you are still holding on to the past. It took me a while to accept that I had a dirty closet that needed some cleaning up. Most of the junk in there came from my past and issues I had with my absent Father.

I had a great relationship with my Mom and my siblings so I assumed that alone was a good foundation for my who I am. I learnt the hard way that it was not enough. No matter your title or material wealth, you have to know who you are, with or without certain life privileges. What defines us is not what we have or who we know but who we think we are and how we share ourselves with the world. So what am I saying? Clean up your closet. You will be surprised how much is holding you back from the past and from relationships in your present state of mind.

Say it , trust it, believe it. Daily affirmations are one of the best ways to remind yourself who you are. It is easy to get caught up in the noise.

Trust yourself and that where you are now is exactly where you should be Each and every one of us has power beyond our own wildest imagination. Power to inspire, power to mobilize people and do phenomenal things and dominate the world but to realize that power requires a level of commitment from you and the biggest investment is your time. Use it well.

Learn to say no as much as you say yes.

Connect. The most successful men and women build strong relationships. Everything we do is result of the African proverb “Umuntu ungumuntu ngabantu” . With social media it has become easy to locate the right people to connect with and along the way building good relationships can fast track your career or business.

A Queen stays humble and approachable. As you create more leaders in your lane, don’t let the numbers and hype get to your head.

Celebrate yourself, your journey or story can inspire anyone because with the rise of the web your work can land you anywhere in the world.
