When I was 13, I wanted to be Beyoncé

When I was 13, I wanted to be BeyoncĂ©. I watched her documentaries and got a glimpse of this beautiful, ambitious woman who was so sure of what she wanted. Now after 9 more years with myself I can say finally say that for the first time in my life all I want to be is Everlecia; a beautiful, ambitious woman who knows what she wants. 
It took time to figure out who I was, and after I've spent some time alone with myself I have got the chance to fall in love with the reflection in the mirror. The part that you guys can't even see looking right at me. 
The last 3 years all I can remember was never feeling good enough, pretty enough. But these days I'm comfortable in this skin. I had to learn that the inside is mere reflection of the outside. I had to work on the inside first...  
Now I'm happy to be the bookworm,  "Daddy's lady" who thinks crying is a healthy way of life, who believes in the unrealistic, and who's a hopeless romantic above anything else.

7 Major Changes that Allow for Self-Improvement

Today, I'm sharing simple but potentially life changing tools that have improved areas in my life and more certainly things that I feel can help improve yours as well if you give them a shot.


#1) Spending Time Alone 

 I have found that I have learned a lot about myself when spending time alone. I got a chance to learn what I enjoyed and didn't enjoyed without factoring in others feelings.  As I learned more about myself it was easier to learn and observe more about others while out.

#2) Daily Reflection

It's the daily goals that we set that allows us to eventually accomplish the major goals. And from personal experience I feel deeply that a little daily reflection is a game changer because when you force yourself to answer 'how can you improve for tomorrow', you come up with answers and you make little improvements that turn into big ones.

#3) Reading

1. It improves your reading skills. 2. Improves your social skills. 3. Because I said so lol.

#4) Writing Down Ideas

The best way I can think to improve yourself, is to simply think of ways to do so.  Example. the idea of cutting bad habits

#5) Working on Passion Projects

When I was working long hours at the mall making what seemed to be a lot of $, I still didn't feel more alive until I'd come home and start working on my book. I think it gave me hope that I was still moving forward to do something I love for a living.

#6) Reward your Progression! 

No matter how old you are, you still have the little kid in you that feels good when your hard work is noticed, so before anyone else starts notices, you reward your own progression and celebrate yourself.


#7) Help me Come with the last Self-improvement Tool.

All you have to do is comment a useful tool below. Please and thank youuu.  Also, if you have found this article helpful please share it with a friend.

Facing Fears and Burdens

    In Les Brown's Live Your Dream, he suggests the action of taking the time out to reflect on your personal burdens and fears. The same burdens and fears that has kept us from achieving our biggest dreams and  aspirations.
    The unique aspect that I loved about Brown's suggestion that made me eager to actually try the process he suggested was that right next to the fear/burden he said reflect on how you should rid yourself of them.
     I know the important of knowing your fears but thinking of a game plan to help rid yourself of those fears, thats on a whole another level.
    I decided to take it a step farther and write down next to my fear and burdens how I am currently ridding myself of them or wish to. And my own personal list  is what I want to share with you, because even though you and I are two different people, we may have similar fears and my plan to rid mine can help you as well. And if you come up with ways to rid yours and write them below you can help me too.  
    Even though I have just only created my list, it already feels liberating knowing what I have to do to rid my fears. And unconsciously I have already been doing some of the things on my list already without event thinking about it.

                                        Ridding Burdens and Fears


  • Fear of failure cure: ACTION cures fear, doing the things I am afraid of doing. 

  • Low self-esteem cure: Practicing self-confidence, and focusing on my positive attributions more.

  • Guilt cure: Remission of sins instead of forgiveness of sins, remission means they are wiped away completely and forgiveness means that they are merely only covered up.

  • Love cure: Focusing on the type of love and support I want, instead of what I don't have. 

  • Lack of capital cure: Using every resource I have wisely, and attracting the money that I want in my life. Also creating passive income where I make money even when I don't work.

  • Circumstances cure: Being grateful for where I am and seeing and visualizing where I will be.
