An Ending Is A Beginning

Know your worth. Do you know your value?

I felt in my soul and knew it as sure as I knew my name — that I was placed on this earth to write.

The weight of knowing that I was not in the right space started to weigh on me.

I knew the minute that I performed that poem, that my life had changed.

Many endings are going to hurt. They are not going to feel good and are going to make you feel uncomfortable. They will not seem fair.

Change often doesn't come to your door step with warm chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. Endings sometimes will just not feel good.

I had to own how I had allowed myself to be placed on the back-burner. I had to get up.

What I thought was an ending was just a beginning for me to step into my destiny.

Your journey is not just for you. Someone right now is waiting on you to be all that you can be so that they can be all that they are destined to be.

My destiny, calling, and the reason I am on this earth is to speak truth to power and to be unapologetic to anything that I write.

My influence isn't just for me. It is so that I can make this world a little better because I am in it.

If you were told that an ending for you to walk into your destiny meant that you would have to lose something, but you would gain everything... would you still say yes?

If an ending for you meant that it's going to cost you [...], would you still say yes?

If you were really told what it was going to take for you to be everything that you are destined to be, would you still say yes?

There was more that was required of me and I made a choice to say yes.

My ending was simply my beginning to propel me to my destiny — to shape this nation.

While an ending may hurt and you might cry, it is just another part of your journey.

When you're reading a book you don't cry at the chapter you just finished because you know another chapter is behind it.

You are being setup to walk into your destiny.

Change often doesn't come to your doorstep with warm chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk and endings sometimes will just not feel good.
