I Believed I Could So I Did

By kimberly conyers

"I Believed I Could So I Did" was written to help encourage and strengthen those who are in need of encouragement and strength. Many times, we go through life's struggles feeling as if we have no place to turn for sounds advice and encouragement, so we give up and stop trying. Allow this book to open your mind, as change starts with your way of thinking. If you believe you can't then you won't, which stops growth and closes doors that may have been for you to walk through.  

 

I pray that this book of motivation, inspiration and devotions blesses you on your journey to success, and that it touches your spirit and gives you whatever it is that you may need to press forward in your endeavors, both spiritually and naturally. Remember you are the head and not the tail. You are more than a conqueror!

Love Yourself

Would you mind allowing me to talk directly to you for a moment? What do you say to your inner voice? What would you say to the kid inside you? Hello, there. I appreciate you taking the time to be here. I admire you for taking a moment to read this and provide feedback. Thank you very much. Yes, thank you for your assistance.

In other words, I'm madly in love with you. Yes, I understand that hearing it in such plain language may initially seem strange. But I genuinely believe it.

I'm in love with you, your magnificent creation. I like everything about you. Even the aspects of yourself that you find objectionable. And you're too embarrassed to exhibit them. Those aspects of your personality appeal to me as well. I adore every aspect of you.

What you've gone through has caused me to feel incredibly terrible for you. Nevertheless, it is now time for you to rest in my arms.

You should be able to listen and sense my voice.

You're a kid, says the teacher. You are looking for love, in all of your guises, in all of your efforts to satisfy others — and you are finding it. To be welcomed and cared for is what you are attempting. Want to get praised for your accomplishments?

And now here I am, delivering these things to you in this manner. Will you give it your full attention and consideration? When I say I'm sorry for hurting you, do you think you'll believe me? Please bear my apologies for not paying concentration to you recently. Please accept my apologies for leaving you on occasion. I am here now.

Yes, I understand that it will take some time for you to trust me; it will take some time for me to earn your whole trust. But I'm not planning on leaving. There is a sense of liberation in my presence. Everything you've ever desired is right here — the joy, the care, the sustenance. It's finally here.

Will you pay attention when I tell you that I adore you? That I genuinely care about you? I'm sorry for allowing myself to compare you to others, evaluate you, and criticize you at times. That was something I did because I was self-conscious. It wasn't because I didn't care about you.

I'm madly in love with you. I am available to assist you. I'm here to tell you that you're an angel, and I couldn't be happier. Your smile, eyes, and voice are all angelic, and you indeed are an angel. The fact is, you are so kind that I'm not sure I'll be able to find the correct comments to express how incredible you are to me.

To be clear, I recognize that it will take some time for you to trust me completely; that it will take some time for me to earn your complete and total trust. However, I have no intention of leaving. There is a feeling of freedom in the air when I am present. This place has everything you've ever wanted: happiness, care, and sustenance are all right here for you. It has finally arrived.

Will you pay attention if I tell you that I adore you and that I want to marry you? Is it possible that I genuinely care about you? I sincerely apologize for allowing myself to compare you to others, evaluate you, and criticize you at various points in time. That was something I did because I was feeling self-conscious at the time. It wasn't because I didn't care about you; it was because I was busy.

I'm in love with you.

I am available to assist you at your convenience. Your angelic status has brought me here to tell you that you are lovely, and I couldn't be more pleased. You are an angel, and your smile, eyes, and voice all have an angelic quality to them, and you indeed are an angel. You have been so generous that I'm not sure I'll be able to find the correct phrases to describe how incredible you have been to me adequately. It does this because it liberates you. To accept the truth, you must look it in the eyes and acknowledge its existence.

When you accept something, you feel a deep sense of relief inside. Wow. In reality, I did not receive what I desired. I deserved to receive a more significant sum of money. The thoughts that I received due to my excessive request are judgments made against me by others. I took them in as my own, but now I'm ready to let them go.

Now I realize that everything I desired was something I deserved to have. There was nothing snotty, nasty, disrespectful, needy, or spoilt about my demeanor in my desire to be loved completely. Nothing about my request for what I desired was despiteful, nasty, disrespectful, or self-centered.

In reality, the inverse is true. My crying and fighting for my birthright to be loved, cared for, and protected – I was doing what a baby does when it cries - I alerted and told those who needed to know that I needed to be looked after, that I need attention and protection.

That is something we can be very critical about. Even the word baby has come to be associated with being 'needy,' 'attention-seeking,' and 'immature.' Even the adjective childish has come to be associated with the concepts of egoism rudeness, and impoliteness.

However, the terms baby and childish are two of the most beautiful words ever coined in the history of the human language, and they should be celebrated. Although words were still being invented during tribal times, the term baby was one of the first to arrive, and it was spoken with affection and tenderness throughout history.

You specifically requested what you required. You should not feel ashamed but rather proud of yourself. You performed your part, and you contributed to achieving the creation's goal. A non-demanding newborn may very well be unable to convey its most fundamental requirements, and if this is the case, the baby may not be able to survive on its own.

I'm emphasizing this to you, my darling, my kid, so that you may walk confidently on this planet and say, I asked for what I wanted. I got it. I contributed to the creation in my way.

Then, at some time, you began to notice that even when you asked for what you wanted, you did not always get what you desired. In some instances, as you screamed out for affection, you were ordered to remain silent in your chamber. When you endeavored to get somebody's engagement, they chastised you and hissed at you.

Additionally, you discovered that you are unworthy of love.

You're now working on unlearning that faulty learning. It is past time.

I didn't have a hard time making it, I had a hard time letting it go.

____ Elliott Smith, American singer-songwriter.

Your Gifts-Give Yourself A Chance

If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.

—Barbara de Angelis, American relationship consultant and author.

We must recognize the fact that our hatred is eating us alive. Even if you don't have any opposing thoughts toward your parents or careers, there will always be something else to let go of in the future. It appears to me at times that I've had enough and that I've already let it all go. I wept my way through it, I processed it, and it should now be completely gone. There are times when time passes, and then something comes along, and I think to myself, Not this one again!

That used to get me a little irritated. But, as time went on, I recognized that we'd come across new levels that are more profound and that we'll have to work our way through as we grow and develop.

It has the appearance of a spiral. It appears like we have been here before, but it is merely the same region, not the same level.

As a result, I'd want to advise you to let go.

Instead of holding onto bitterness, we are letting it go. In the process of letting go of the possibility that things may have turned out differently, we are free to let go of our disappointments and our grief. And we chose to fill ourselves with the love that we so desperately wished to receive from others.

We were given the God-given ability to design our own life at some time. When we are young, we spend the first portion of our lives as characters in other people's stories. We require them for our very life, and we cannot function without them. Once we reach this point, we can walk, talk, feed ourselves, and take care of our health and well-being. And rather than feeling resentment at people who didn't do a good enough job (in fact, you might argue that they did a poor one!), it's time for us to show ourselves some love. Let's go for it, for God's sake.

You have to choose whether to love yourself or not.

—James Taylor, American singer and guitarist

I'd want to remind your subconscious of a couple of additional facts about yourself. So I'll speak
