Reaction is what every antagonist wants. Your adversaries or whatever you care to call them. Would like to see you come out of yourself and act extra so that they can stand a lot taller in your presence. But instead of reacting breath, think, and then say nothing. Every comment is not warranted as an answer, and every action not a reaction. The best way to kill people with kindness is to not give attention to their foolishness. Take heed to what they say to you but give it no authority. Always have every  Ace in your hand ready to play and never let your right hand know what your left hand is doing.


For years, I struggled seriously with the habit of upsetting my spirit for situations, things, and people, who were either wasting my time or talents. Until one day, one of my mentors pulled the bottom hem of my skirt. Rai, are you really giving that any allegiance? You are a queen, walk like one, talk like one, think like one, and never play small for anyone. I had to take a look at what she said. I had played a limited role for so long that people who knew I was a go-getter and solid winner, saw me play the role of a peasant. Playing this role that was challenging and filled with so much roleplay that I was dying inside. So here is what I did. And you can find your own ritual of bringing your kingdom ship back to life. But as for me, loves everything starts and ends with God! 


Okay,  I listened to what she said, followed by going to the one who created me. I then asked Him to restore and reconcile me into the woman He has prospered me to be. I begged him with my full being to bring her front and center again. But make me a more improved version. I had to again become a woman who walked with authority and acceptance of who God had made me. I fasted for 5 days for every area of my life. Seriously, no water, no food.  People were literally calling me baby Jesus. I just said Wow, laughed, and kept going. I placed my face in Word, verse mapped, and waited on my creator to revamp my soul that was broken and nearly dead. Listen, I was absolutely, having a can these dry bones live Lord moment? 


I then took inventory of my actions toward myself and others and all the events that occurred in my life, how I had contributed to each, I asked for forgiveness,  and amended a few broken relationships.  One of them was essential and of great importance.


 And last, but least, I separated myself from arenas of foolishness, physically and mentally. The journey is not over, although that is where it started for me. I am not quite sure how it commence for you? We are all walking our own paths to finding our truth. How will your journey begin? What will you do to get back to reclaiming your queendom status?


Well ladies it's time to

 

Write it down 

Make it a journal prompt and embrace the journey as you grow into who you are becoming. Never play small for others to shine or win. Walk in the room with your head held high being beautifully you. Continue to be gorgeously transformed from within. It is time to reclaim your royalty. The queen is in the building. All hail the queen. She's back.
