Bragging Rights

Every time I achieve a new goal with my blogging, it motivates me to keep writing, to keep sharing, and to keep fighting. 


This week’s goal earned me bragging rights along with a spot in the top 2% of “rising creators” on my Facebook page. 


I somehow earned this title, which is now proudly displayed under my profile picture because of my authenticity in my engagements with my audience, my originality, and genuine integrity. 


Merriam-Webster has chosen “authentic” as 2023’s word of the year. It’s a word I aspire to be when it comes to my writing. More importantly, it’s how I choose to live my life according to my own values, spirit, and goals.


Being your true authentic self is a lifelong process of discovery, which begins with learning to embrace our imperfections. Being truthful and honest with ourselves. It’s living by your own needs and values and not by what others expect of you. It’s realizing your true potential and identifying who you want to be.


It’s a choice we must keep making every moment of every day of our lives. 


It’s what I plan to take with me into the year ahead.
