Hey y'all. Welcome to the Motivation Bay podcast. I am your host Hills the Motivation babe. And I am on a mission to empower you and thousands of women every single day.

Get ready to level up as we dive in. Hey, y'all, welcome back to another episode of the Pod. It's me, it's a girl, it's hills. I am your motivation bestie. I am your hype queen. I am your biggest cheerleader and I want to see you freaking win, sis. Oh my gosh. Happy Fire Friday. If you're listening to this today, y'all, um, I woke up today truly inspired to share this message with you, actually inspired by Ed Mylet yesterday. I posted this on my Instagram stories. If you're not watching Instagram stories with me, you definitely should be. Find me at the Motivation babe. Underscore my profiles all pink. Okay? And this is the message I wanna share with you today. If you are new here on Fridays, this is Fire Friday. Okay? And this is unscripted. This is happening in real time. I click record and I share what's on my heart, what's top of mind, the message I need you to hear today heard. Okay? So I wrote down Reminder to dream Big and not just don't forget to chase your dreams. No, no, no, no, no. Nothing anecdotal like that. Okay? I want to remind you, when was the last time you thought about your dream and you imagined your future? Because I know how hard it can be sometimes. I understand when your past is heavy. It is so hard to look into the future. But guess what? Your past does not define you. You are defined by a vision of the future self, of your future self. Listen to me, if right now you're going through a hard time, or right now you're having trouble seeing your dream, I want you to let go of what is no longer serving you. And this is what's happening, y'all we're telling ourselves a story and we're attaching ourselves to the story, and we're building an identity, a version of ourselves that we're holding onto. Maybe your story is, it didn't work out before. I haven't been able to find love in any relationship. I haven't been able to hit my income goal. I haven't been able to get the promotion. Maybe these are the old stories that have happened in your past experiences that you're continuing to hold onto. And guess what's this? That version of you is in the past. It is done. It is dead. It is no longer who you are. Can I get an amen? When we are growing and when we are chasing our dreams, we're having to build this entirely new identity that we've never experienced before. We're literally kind of creating it as we go when that is scary, because there is uncertainty. We actually talked about this on the episode with Keisha. If y'all haven't listened to that episode, I know we talk about podcasting, but truly there was so many golden nuggets and that about growth and mindset you need to take a listen to. But this is something that she said. It is so hard for us to see and become, you know, this next version of ourselves, this next version of ourselves chasing our dreams because we don't know what he or she looks like. We've never done it before. So we have no foundation, no understanding of what this new life could be, and that is so scary. And what I find that happens more than not is we stay comfortable being uncomfortable. We stay comfortable assuming this old identity of who we were, and we make it the person that we are. Know if the identity, the version of yourself that you're holding onto, has a heavy past, has things and, and trauma and, and guilt and blame and shame. How is that serving you? You can choose today to click the reset button on your life and create an entirely new version of who you want to be. Do you hear me? Every day you wake up is a freaking blessing that you are here, and it's an opportunity to reinvent yourself, to grow and to chase your freaking dreams. I want you this today, this message is telling you, do not give up. Do not look backwards. Do not look at the past. Do not let the past, the past memories, the past traumas, the past experiences. They have nothing to do with who you are today. All of the heavy stuff in your past. I I know this can be harder for others, but think of it as lessons learned. What lessons did you learn that are going to help you grow and become the best version of who you are? She is within you. That person is within you. Give her permission to come out, Let her, let her be and, and everything that you are, okay? I wanna give you some practical ways to, to learn and to feel what your dreams are, what this dream life is, what the best version of you is, and how you can actually bring it into your reality. So let's bring it back to home. That was just a lot of motivation there. Um, I just had to rant for a minute and remind you of your power and help you shape and, and let go of the old identity and shape, the new version of who you're meant to be. And the funnest way. The easiest way to do this, y'all is going on Pinterest. Okay? I love Pinterest. I love to create vision boards and dream boards. Okay? So what I'll do, and this is what I want you to do, I'm sure you've heard of a vision board. When you cut out stuff from a magazine or you print out things and you put it on this big poster somewhere where you will see it every day, that's amazing. I'm totally for that. But, you know, I'm also like, let's avoid the steps that we'll say, Oh, we'll do it next weekend. Like, Oh, I don't have the magazines. So like, instead of like waiting for all the things to be in place to have a vision board party or anything like that, the easiest way I have found to just execute this little project, if you will, is to go on Pinterest and start pinning, create a new board called My Dream Board. And I want you to look at all areas of your life that's gonna be business, financial, relationship, health, and spirituality. Okay? And I want you to find those, those dream scenarios. If it's a relationship, if it's a, a family, if it's traveling, um, if it is, you know, a huge savings account, whatever it is you see in your dream life, just start pinning it on this dream board. What you're then gonna do is not only do you have this on Pinterest, but go ahead and download these images and make a screensaver out of it. So every time you look at your phone, boom, you see your dreams. Because if you can see it in your mind, you could have it in your life. Your dreams were given to you for a reason. If you, if you can see a certain life for yourself, you need to ask yourself, what am I holding onto that's not allowing me to grow in this area? Who do I need to become? Am I playing small? Am I holding myself back? And only you can do this work, only you can ask yourself. But why? And what you're gonna find is you need to build this new identity. You need to allow yourself to grow and evolve, to accomplish and do the things and chase the dreams and have the life that you deserve. I want you to know you don't have to settle. I want you to look forward to your future. I want you to know everything is happening for you. Just don't look back anymore. Chase your dreams, no matter how big, begin to heal from your past and let go of the things that don't serve you. I hope this message was something you needed to hear. I hope you take action and I hope you chase your dreams today. All right guys, take a screenshot, make sure antagon me at the motivation babe underscore, and I can't wait until next week. All right guys, have an amazing day. Bye.
