[@farfetched9296]

I've learned to move in silence because in silence I moved mountains with what I had. Everytime I told ppl my plans then the doubt and fear would take over. Ppl always say you need money you need this when all we need is the passion, the faith, and God's given talents and gifts he's given to us. I love the food you bring to the table everytime🙌💕🙌💜one important point you made was being multi fauceted and accepting it and sharing it🙂

[@AleciaRenece]

Yeeeeeeeeeees! "Protect your Genius" is something @Beleaf In Fatherhood talks about, which is this same idea. People's words can influence us and our dreams. We gotta be careful who we share our things with. Some folks love us but can't see or understand what we're trying to do. 💛💛💛

Yes girl!! This is exactly what I was thinking the other day. Every time I tell someone my plans, somehow it’s everyone else’s plan and too many ideas/thoughts are thrown at me. Thank you for making me realize I’m not the only one who moves in silence now. 😊

[@laurajones7476]

I'm the same way, always informing others of my plans dreams, it's like I unconsciously need their validation. My Father in heaven supports every steps I make in life but according to his will. I have all I need, thank you for this channel, it's blessed and refreshing to many🙏🏿❤️

Girl! This has been the story of my life time and time again. Every time I decide to get out of my head and lean completely on Him and take his hand, it has worked out. "When I look back over my life and I think things over..." God has been there all the while. HALLELUJAH! If He had us then He DEFINITELY has us now🙏🏾🙏🏾.... THERE IS NOT ONE IN THE BIBLE THAT HAD ALL THE PLANS! GOD is the same yesterday today and forever. He be looking at us like we trippin'🤪🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ When I look at it like that.

Back when you were in college, I was suffering in a corporate office. I used to cry because I couldn't find anyone who really understood what I was going through and I swear before I even knew who you were, I prayed for you. I wished for someone who understood the kind of pain I was experiencing. I cried tears of joy when I found the song you uploaded about not being behind in life and felt so much better. I honestly cannot thank you enough for putting yourself out there and sharing the most authentic parts of your soul with us. By you healing yourself you help us all heal as well. The topics you've touched on are so spot on and it's wonderful to know we're not alone anymore. Your voice is medicine, and you use it unapologetically and speak in clarity. I can feel you glow even brighter as you become more aware along your path and I am so excited for what is to come for you. I am turning 30 and am also moving out of my apartment into my first home. I am getting ready to live and thrive for once, and this video was perfect timing. I truly love the woman you've become and are still becoming. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. 💗🙏💗

[@natesamadhi33]

Amazing. This reminds me, I think the biggest thing holding people back is the fear of simply **looking** crazy to other people. Thats partly why we overly-analyze our path because we don't want people to call us silly or crazy. We place so much of our worth on how others perceive us & how others validate us. But I've learned what trumps external validation is confidence in your divine mission & accepting that its impossible to satisfy everybody in that mission. Even Jesus & Shakyamuni Buddha were hated and threatened. I've accepted that I'll look crazy to many people & people will not like me (especially in an anti-black world where so many people just hate us for existing anyway), and that's fine, because their opinions aren't what are keeping my heart breathing. MY spirit is keeping me breathing. And those opinions won't be there to save my soul from all the regrets I'd have on my deathbed (like "I wish I would've done this/that..") Those opinions will be nowhere to save your soul, so for that reason, they're not worth the worry. Stand strong in your mission. Never lose yourself to this temporary world; chasing an illusion thats bound to crumble will ultimately do your soul no good in the end. Chase what liberates your soul for all time.

[@AleciaRenece]

I really needed this! I'm an overthinker and I always think I can't do this and I'm always letting fear. Get to me and imagine the results if I was to do something I struggle with just being me I always think I'm not good enough. Or if I was like this life would be easier, I struggle with consistency and learning who I am and who I could become. So, this video really helped me learn to take that first step being honest with myself and just flowing thank you

How 'to go'? With my goal of renting an RV, reality dictates I Pay Off Bills. Being sort of a Credit cardaholic, it's difficult denying self. But to attain my goal, saying NO is imperative! Closer, target Nov.! Haven't used any last mo. but one, BABY STEPS. Getting there! 👍♥️

@ArtHeart Wellness. Thanks for understanding! This stems from Generations of immediate gratification!

This my first time viewing your channel. I loved this video. I felt your realness, I felt the way you were freeing others and freeing yourself. I felt the struggle it took for you to arrive at such insight and to speak so passionately of it.

You are applauded and may peace always know your name! Signed, Me

[@slowerpaceembrace]

This! All of THIS spoke to my soul! You truly have a way with words and speaking directly to the heart and soul. I resonate with so much of what you've shared. I'm an overthinker, overplanner, and overpreparer because of fear and doubt. I've questioned myself more than I've affirmed myself. I've feared taking the next step because it requires me to show up while under the pressure that I have it all together. But that's not true! Your video was such a kind and honest reminder that I am prepared to take the next step. I've had enough of talking myself out of what God has already equipped me with. Thank you, Alecia! 💜

[@katherinee2389]

Thank you for this video. I watched it this evening in a low moment. I needed hope and someone to speak care and truth over me. What my next step is this. I have several people who I need to let go and release from my life but I'm mentally struggling to let them go even though they dont treat me well. Why do I keep holding on? Bc deep inside I'm worried maybe this is better than nothing. I'm not allowing my heart to open to the possibility that God would want people who care and understand me in my life. I need to release these people who are hurting me so I can make room and space for new people to enter. I'm a deeply caring person but I keep holding onto people who dont give me the same level of care. I want to be done with that. Like you said, it's about getting free. Thank you for being you bc its authentic and beautiful.

I agree with starting where you are. There is an artist with this one particular song that I listen to, her raw acoustic version. She got a chance to record it in a professional studio, all dressed up and she posted it ... I only go back and listen to the raw acoustic version with her standing against a white wall in her white t-shirt.

[@AleciaRenece]

I definitely resonate with this!!! I have songs that I do the Same. I prefer the "humanness" of art. It's a blessing.

[@Happygurlforeva]

Firstly, I want to say thank you for making this video and this channel. It is exactly what I needed in this moment as I’m turning 25 in a couple of weeks but if I’m being honest, every birthday feels like a midlife crisis. Every year I am between being stuck and unstuck. I want to break into the fashion industry so badly. Sometimes I feel like it’s too late because I made this decision when the pandemic started. I thought the best way was possibly going on social media and trying to post, but then I just started to hate myself and how I looked. There was a lot of other things that were barriers in my life between 2020 and now, but now I’m just trying to figure out how to get started in the industry and to get some experience under my belt. I live near Detroit, Michigan and I don’t want to move into a huge city yet because of how expensive it is - so that’s another struggle. Sometimes, I feel like a disappointment roller coaster.

[@07ikkin]

I like this channel. Feels like a little pep talk each video. I'm scared of life. I want to move, live in another state, but I fear things not working out, and me having to come back to my home state. I can envision myself having a business, but I'm afraid of failing and do not have the people skills. (I went to one Toastmasters meeting but didn't continue). Trying to figure out life. I hate going to work, coming home and having no energy to do anything but scroll and listen to youtube videos.

I can so relate to all of this, Alecia 💯 Thank you so much for sharing, I appreciate YOU 💕 Keep being authentically YOU and sharing 🌻 This was an excellent, thought provoking video. You sharing your thoughts with us is very impactful for many of us as I can tell by the comments on your videos. I'm still growing and evolving but one thing I can say....stepping out on Faith and putting my complete trust in God has been life changing. I'm still struggling with facing my fears of writing (journaling) and putting it out on the internet. I don't feel like I can write well enough. I know that I need to change my mindset when it comes to that but I resist it by being in my head that my writing isn't good enough.

[@nowfuture9330]

I happened upon this this truth, this divine statement, "I am, we are enough" a few weeks ago. And then I found your channel! You are drink of cold water, a breath of fresh air... As a budding creative non-profit founder (black female), BOY did I need this message! It is everything I needed to hear, EVERYTHING.

[@dreaminbronze9189]

About "Being Enough". After a rocky past, I set out to pave a new career dedicated to helping my community of POC & disenfranchised folks. I started my business & those folks would snub me. I then opted to level myself up...& sat for the NATIONAL BOARD EXAM in my field. Pretty much everyone I've told since then about my credential ...responds by TEARING ME DOWN HARDER & TREATING ME LIKE I'M DELUSIONALLY PUTTING UP A FRONT. 🙄 Like, what more do I have to do ??

I’m moving from Thailand to Malaysia with a three year old and you saying you will have what you need when you get there (hit me like a 🧱). I have also started a second career (as a digital creator) so also hearing I have what I need already…so just keep moving forward (hit again). We aren’t the same religion but these themes are universally human… so thank you for the reminder and serving in this way!
