Not me shedding a couple of gangster tears while watching this. It was definitely something I needed to hear because I feel myself being tested. For the longest, i thought it was because I wasn’t working hard enough or because of self sabotage in some way. In reality, though, I’m being prepped to grow and maintain all of my desires that are coming to me.
Hey Simone its Debra, I worked with you as a stylist at Ulta Beauty. I can definitely relate to what your saying, I was the dog who ate the cake, and fckd my life up, l also totally understand when you say its a test, its like a season of character building and learning to trust God, like David and Goliath, he had to take on the lion and the bear which was God's way of preparing him for Goliath, unknowingly to David the "lil shepard boy" at the time, God was preparing him to be a King of ALL THINGS he could have been prepped for!!!! Lol like what a surprise, I bet it was a wonderful feeling
For people without disabilities this outlook is fine. I have a learning disability. So it takes me longer to do and learn things. I get really frustrated seeing people living their dream when I know I might not really make it there due to limits outside of my control. I use to be happy seeing others happy and would love to progress in my career further but I also need a reality check because the high job titles have a work load I can not mentally do. I am all open to asking for help. I need more help that a normal person. Some people get really strange when you need more time to get a hang of stuff. I wish it didn't take me twice or 3 times as long oh well.
Thank you Simone for this thought-provoking, awakening and honest video. I have no problem/issues with any of the words you use because I understand that words are based on context I think people should remember that. Also when I first saw this video I was thinking that it’s going to be based on RU-vid content, however I have learnt so much from it and it has reinforced some of my ideologies and thinking that I has been on my mind for sometime. But most of all I am going to reflect on (why hard-work don’t always pay off.) Thank you and I look forward to your next video keep on doing what you’re doing. Your words are needed because girls who look like you need to hear and to see you. 🎉❤
I just want to say that you should always trust in yourself. Especially if you’re taking the time to really hone in on your opinions and what you want to express to the world. There will ALWAYS be people who disagree with you - no matter the topic. Be confident in YOU! Your following has grown because of what you’ve already been doing. It’s working and you’re seeing the growth. I know it’s probably really scary to a degree. Sometimes we tend to self-sabotage when we’re stepping into unknown territory, but a saying I always tell myself when I feel this way is: “some of the BEST things in life are on the other side of fear.” You’ve got this girl. Continue to stay true to yourself! The right people will follow. 🌹✨
I'm grateful every single day I wake up for both the answered but especially the unanswered prayers.. They lead me down paths I never envisioned and made me the woman I've become.. My life holds much more abundance and happiness then I'd dreamed possible all because of what I wasn't granted.. When I sit and think about that I can literally cry.. Be patient and kind along your journey's, also be aware of the little knudges down unexpected paths.. The light at the end of some of those dark tunnels can potentially be brighter than the light that was originally thought possible.. ✨️♥️
The dog and cake example just legitimately had me stop and THINK!! I’ve never taken a moment to reflect that maybe some of the blessings and manifestations I want aren’t being given because they might harm me. I feel like I just took a step back and saw a much bigger picture and that many of the things I’m asking for I’m either not ready for, or would hurt me more than help me in my current state. I really love all of your videos and have been following you for a few months now, but this is the one that’s resonated with me so profoundly. Thanks for another great video, and congrats on the 100k; you really do deserve it!!
This actually reminds me of the time I went to a meet up and the topic of ideal self came up and we all agreed that our ideal self would not be half of the things that we do right now.
your “why” for what you do is wonderful 🌞 your whole mindset is amazing and thank you for sharing your journey with beautiful women and men across the globe 💜
I’m a spiritualist and yes it most certainly is a test! I’ve been following and long time viewer! People get it in a rush and then either spend it till they are poor, or crumble under the pressure and never recover from it all because they weren’t patient and they received before they were! It’s not to say you’ll never get it because those that never get it again either don’t learn from it, or are afraid and dont think of it as a chance to do it over but in a different way in order to receive their intended outcome! All things come in TIME that is meant for you and when you see others receiving it I look at is as a sign you are on the right path and to keep pushing! Much love and just keep swimming!
@@SimoneNicole ahhh I honestly didn’t think you remembered due to the slight name change! Much love and always looking forward to the next video and seeing the growth!
I’ve never considered the hardships I faced as tests. I wouldn’t say I’m spiritual, but I’ve always believed there being balance in the universe. I’ve been lucky enough that whenever something awful happens in my life, something wonderful follows. Not a consistent back and forth, but throughout life it evens out. I knew with every bad comes good, but I never considered the bad as tests. I appreciate your perspective ❤
Simone!! Omg yes! I’ve always prayed to god like “use me. Let me be the voice for those who can’t speak” and lawd! I didn’t know it would come with so many lessons! But in the end as you said, it’s all worth it in the end 😊also I’m from Cleveland Ohio too!! Omg
I needed this video, and honestly, this being released at the time it was feels like a sign from the universe saying 'it's okay to stop hiding now'. I've provided my story below, but trigger warning for those who need it, I mention abuse and the effects of it, but I don't feel as if I go into detail; Since I was a kid, as young as 5, I've wanted and planned this life of 'find the love of my life, get married, have kids, have adventures'. I've craved, planned, wanted this life for so long, and I've done so out of a place of wanting that pure unconditional love that only a family of your own can bring. However, whilst my 'why?' isn't necessarily true to some people, I'm coming up to 25 now, and i'm still living in my granparents house, because while I could very well be landed with a husband and a baby outta the blue and have all the steps mapped out in my head of 'this is what my plan is, I know what to do', in alot of respects i'm not ready for it. My mother was abusive went I was young, so my granparents gained custody when I was about 5/6 cos I practically lived at their house anyway so it was the most stable environment for me to be placed, but, of course, abuse takes a toll on someone, and cos I was young it forced me to grow up and handle things in alot more mature of a manner than my age would normally react. So, when I was a kid my maturity rate was like that of someone in their 30's, and the closer I get to thirty I realise just how true that is, however it also makes me realise how desperately I've clung to the 'immature'/child-like aspects of myself and life as a whole. I'd be 16 listening to the girls in my class talk about their futures, what they wanted to be, what university they wanted to go to, and talking about the weekend jobs they'd taken up to save a bit of money towards moving out, and I'd almost feel a sense of guilt and shame cos I knew that should be me, too, but I just couldn't get my head into that mindset. And now i'm at this point where I feel like everyone else has grown up and got a job and it's abnormal to live with my granparents at the age of 25, and (don't get me wrong, cos i'm incredibly grateful) I don't wanna live here either, but realistically, while I'm very mature and have done the right thing for my mental health and sorted through the varying hurdles/problems/traumas that've been thrown at me over the years instead of getting a job, on the other hand, i'm very much still just a kid and when put under the slightest bit of pressure I freak out and/or freeze up. I'm someone who can't be pushed in at the deep end and be told 'okay, go swim now', I'm someone who has to start at the shallow end and be coached in slowly towards the deeper waters. At the time of this video I've recently applied to a Sunday job and i'm starting to come to terms with letting go of that childhood blanket that I've so desperately been clinging to while I look at and consider jobs with minimal shifts to lower me into that shallow end. So, with what I said in my opening statement, for me, this video just felt like a confirmation of 'it's okay, you're ready to grow up now'. So, if anyone reads this feeling like you're behind, you're not. It's okay to go through life seemingly slower than everyone else. We all go through the same steps in life, at different times and paces, it's okay if your path takes you down the scenic route.
This video makes so sense on so many levels. Keep believing in yourself. And I ll be sure to keep coming back to thing video when I start feeling the pressure again. thank you ma'am.
I always forget that RU-vid is going to show you pretty much what it wants to show you when it wants to show you whatever that maybe lol or is it all within life's alignment 🧐🤔 either way this watch was definitely right on time ❤️ thank you for sharing! .. You're why is truly inspiring ❤
@@naomiolutayo your comment reminded me about the book & you inspired me to go back and finish listening, so thank you. I will relisten to it actually & try to push pass that 'upper limit'. Best of growth to you 🙏🏽
