dear dope chick:
we sometimes see a stepping stone as something with little to no importance.
lemme put you on:
stepping stones are some the most important + pivotal steps you’ll make.
they are where you find your footing, where you reassess, + where you determine which direction you want to go next.
stepping stones are opportunities to learn + grow, fam.
they show up as people we meet who give us the opportunity to learn more about ourselves.
- are you as patient as you claim you are?
- are you as considerate + kind as you think?
- are you actually an empathic listening or are you listening to respond?
they are random acts of kindness we get to extend ourselves + to others.
- giving compliments
- offering smiles, especially when words just won’t cut it
- opening doors + saying ‘thank you’
- giving grace for past transgressions
they are the places we get to visit + show up as ourselves unapologetically.
- busting out in praise + worship with reckless abandonment, anytime + any place
- moving our bodies + dancing to the beat of our own drums (literally)
- speaking up + out for ourselves + others when shit ain’t adding up
stepping stones deserve more reverence + more intention than what we are used to giving them.
you don’t have to brush them off as some random ass means to get to an end.
wanting different for your life is a big deal + it’s okay to treat your stepping stones as once in a lifetime opportunities.
today ain’t like yesterday for a reason.
today is the day you can change your attitude, embrace a vast array of opportunities, + see the possibilities life is offering you right now.
today is a stepping stone on your journey to living your life to its fullest.
go full out, fam!
be you, be dope!
