It Starts Here // Spoken Word

Start here.
Yup, that’s what this video is about.
Before you go out and try to …
change the world …
pursue happiness …
or enter a relationship.
Start here.
Because doing this one thing first … changes everything.
I hope you get inspired by my first Spoken Word Poetry video.

If you were to look at yourself in a mirror right now, what would you see?
Too fat. Too skinny. Ears are too big. Or your eyes too small.
Little things you hate about yourself … or maybe you don’t like yourself all. I don’t know
Now if you were to look directly into your eyes in a mirror right now, what would you feel?
Pain? Fear? Guilt? Shame?
Things you don’t like talking about yet they already have a name. It’s rising.
Now let me be straight up with you real quick. And I want you to be completely honest, too. You ready?
Do you love yourself?
I ain’t talking about bein’ all cocky and boastful about havin’ it made.
I’m talkin’ about feeling worthy enough and accepting yourself no matter how many mistakes you’ve made.
