Create Your Own Lane

It's so easy to see what someone else is doing and run with it. I have done this myself in the past only to find that what they were doing wasn't really for me. We may think that it is simply because of how good or easy they make it look, but when it comes time for us to do it something isn't quite right. I'm learning that it is okay to do something different. There is absoulutely nothing wrong with creating something that doesn't align with what's popular. I like to believe that those that stand out are the ones that make the most difference. There is something about doing things in your own way that draws people in. Maybe it's because what your doing doesn't look like what everyone else is doing, and they like that. Creating your own lane starts with creating from a place of authenticity.

"Create from a place of authenticity."

I had to recognize that the way I saw others was the same way I needed to see myself. The same way I thought highly of others I needed to think highly of myself. The same way I thought highly of others brands was the same way I needed to think of my own brand. I learned that all the things I saw others achieving was actually something that i could achieve for myself, and it didn't have to look the same way in order for me to do so. Coming to this realization gave me so much freedom, and lift a heavy weight off my shoulders too. I no longer had to worry about the pressures of perfection, and making my brand fit the mold of someone else's. I began to stick to what felt right to me, and what satisfied me while also checking in with God. It is so important that we recognize, and understand that what we carry, and bring to this world is worthy in whatever way we choose to present it.
