“For a long time I lived from a space of self-reliance and self-attribution. I seriously believed I needed to control everything for the perfect outcome. Little did I know I would be in for a big surprise. Why did I think this way? Why was I so resistant to letting help in? The insane amount of pressure I put on myself was unhealthy and debilitating. I give credit to my younger self for being so tenacious, but what I really needed was a little grace.”

At The Lighthouse Keeper our vision is to help this generation and future generations be ok with letting go and letting God. While it is valuable to have a high sense of accountability it serves us no good if we are our own worst critic and block the miracles life wants to unfold for us. The need for perfectionism is outdated and fragmented all on its own.

“I aimed for perfectionism not knowing I was already made perfect in his image.”

“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” – Genesis 1:26

“While my family held a strong faith, our priorities were different back then.

I was unpruned, underdeveloped, uninformed, and in a rush. Why was I in such a rush? We can blame it on immaturity or unresolved soul doings. Kidding, let us not blame anyone or any external reasoning. We are presented with information when it is our time to learn and develop. God’s timing is perfect and in no rush so why should we be? It is much easier said than done, but it is up to us to change the narrative of our lives. Who we choose to be today is our decision and no one else’s fault or responsibility. The great thing about growing up is we get to decide for ourselves. God placed autonomy over our minds and actions.”

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” –Ecclesiastes 3:11

Today we share with you that it is ok to make mistakes, it is ok to try and fail, it is ok to change your mind, it is ok to not know an outcome. What is not ok is to sit there and let life pass you by. If there is something you love about yourself or others- acknowledge and celebrate it. If there are things you do not like about yourself forgive yourself, forgive your parents, and forgive anyone or anything you find linked to that negative emotion. Follow to take proactive measures and create change.

Make Room for Something BIGGER THAN YOURSELF because when you do you will take a burden off yourself and you will make room for your highest potential to unfold. One not driven by ego or personality, rather one driven by purpose and divine orchestration. In order to make room for the best days of your life you must get out of your own way and invite all of yourself in.
