AUGUST AFFIRMATIONS- DAY 3

Hello and welcome back to another #DosesOfUniqueness!

Staying consistent here!! (go me, go me).  It's day 3, August 3rd.

August 1st Affirmation was "Im Flawed and Fabulous!"

August 2nd Affirmation was "With Every Step I take, I am closer to my Goals!"

Today's Affirmation is "I do it for Myself, NOT for Anyone Else!"

I was chatting with a coworker a few weeks back on goals and why certain people are successful in the Navy and some are just not suited for it.  My retired coworker told me that he was able to achieve the term paid grade of doing it for himself and not for the likes or awards, or the Bravo Zulu or shout outs.  He did it for him.  He went the extra mile for himself.  

I feel the same way, everything I have ever accomplished I did it because I wanted to do it.  When I joined the Navy, I did it for me.  When I applied for a commission to become a Naval Officer, I did it for me.  Being a Naval officer was a passion of mine.  When I ran my 1st half marathon, I did it for me...because I never considered myself a runner and joining Black Girls Run Jax for sisterhood turned into me accomplishing a Goal.  Crossing that finish line was a amzing feeling.... and now getting my Masters after several attempts... I felt like the other times I was doing it because someone else told me to do it....now I'm doing it because I want to!

I am walking in my own path, shining bright and feeling blessed!

Until tomorrow....
