Remain In Character

Posted on April 2, 2022April 2, 2022 by drkaylanallen

Do you know who you are?

Okay…do you know who you are around your family and friends?

Well…do you know who you are in business spaces?

Let me ask again, do you really know who you are?

If your answer to those questions shifted in extreme ways, you may need to do a little reflecting on the role you are playing in your life.

As an individual that is choosing to evolve your life consistently, you are leading in a way that many people never do, do not know how to do, or they think they do not have to do. No matter what type of leader you may be, your good character is of added value to what you do and for the growth of others, so it must be appreciated – that starts with you.

Value of yourself starts inside as does your identity, character, and sense of worthiness. While elements of you should adjust slightly depending on what you are facing, your character should not change.

When faced with life, your well-being, or anything that is at the center of your universe you must recall who you are and there is no room for you to change that definition for the sake of others.

If you do not remain in your true character amongst others and choose to play a role, you will not succeed and will not look the same as what you see in the mirror. The things that you want to have in your life and in what you do will only be possible if you are tapped into who you are, and you are elevating the power of yourself inside and out.

Conforming to meet a standard or become what you think others want to see in you will only give you what others want. True success and happiness are things that only you can grant yourself. So, if you are detached from the truth how can walk in your truth and be a beacon on light in the spaces that only you can walk in?

Your awareness of self and your well-being play a significant role in becoming the next version of yourself, so they must be in alignment. Do you understand what that really means? There are no changes to your heart and soul that must be changed if you are being a good person and you are staying along the path that you want to be on.

Only when you add a bit of sparkle and strength to the truth of your greatest self while honoring how hard you are working in your evolution, can you become success in a sustainable manner.

Seasons change and your mindset should as well, but you as a whole must remain the same at heart. People will love and cherish you for you. Keep working hard, learning, leveling up, and loving yourself, it will all pay off.

Be blessed and be at peace.

No Path is Straight and Flat

Posted on September 13, 2021September 13, 2021 by drkaylanallen

No matter how we may wish for our lives and the things that we do to be easy, that is not typically the outcome.

In fact, many times in life, no path that we journey through is not straight or flat. There is no direct path to clarity, success, effective leadership, healthy relationships, or sustainable healthcare practices.

There is rarely a blueprint to even the basic levels of things that we need in order to become the next version of ourselves, but that does not mean that we cannot evolve and navigate through sustainable personal transformation. You do not need to be in the perfect life position to become the next version of yourself, but you do have to be in the right mental position.

Following a textbook, findings from evidence-based research, experiences of others, and perspectives of those around you may work for a short while, but soon you will find that it takes a lot more to be successful at every level of your life.

More often than not, one can assume that they know the answer to everything that comes their way, but without dedication to altering thought processes and familiar behaviors, there is no way to perform at the highest levels and find yourself in healthy spaces throughout your life.

People that want the best for their lives in all aspects must come to an awareness that continuous evolution and deep-rooted curiosity are vital. Coaching is an excellent source of initiating and navigating through your next seasons of life.

When was the last time that you analyzed your life as it presently is? No matter when that was, the deeper question is whether or not you were able to understand the truth of the ways that you need to change. Awareness of the need for change and seeking real help is how we move beyond a path toward success in work and life.

At every turn along your path of life, you may need a different viewpoint, clearer perspective, or a little bit more of what makes you unique. So, why not grant yourself exactly what you need. No fears. No doubts. No doing it alone when you know that you need more guidance, clarity, or accountability.

My path in life is anything but straight, flat, clear, or easy; many times it has been difficult to bear. The greatest thing about my path and awareness of its twists and turns is my choice to continue to evolve even when things are not easy.

Choose yourself and your potential over and over again, and you will see that your efforts are always worth it and your bumpy road will lead you where you need to go.

I dare you to put your money, efforts, and time into something that will positively and sustainably change your life from the inside out.

Be blessed and be at peace.

H – Higher Than Imagined

We all have visions for our lives. Even from childhood, we imagined ourselves becoming one thing or another. Surely, you have watched yourself evolve and your dreams have changed right along with you. In this current version of yourself, can you go higher than imagined?

Throughout your life, you must reframe your dreams, alter your actions, and transform your visions if you aim to reach higher than you’ve ever imagined.

You are only capable of what you allow your mind to create. If you only reach for the roof, you cannot expect to touch the moon.

What would happen if you remained in the place of your brokenness? What would happen if you didn’t learn from your mistakes and become a wiser person over time? Would you be the same person if you didn’t put yourself through the challenges that make you become a better version of yourself?

Where lengths would you go to if you were certain that you could go higher than you imagined?

There are no limits to your imagination, visions, or dreams. If you were to reach higher, what is the worse that could happen? You fall? You “fail”? So…even if the worst were to come to life, you would still be closer to reaching your goals than you were when it was all a dream and a part of your imagination.

The question for you now is: What are you waiting for?

Bible & Spiritual Connection

Luke 1:37 & Mark 11:24

Never are you faced with impossibilities – with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Taking your dreams and turning them in reality, putting in the work, and holding strong to faith and all that could be possible, you could bear great fruit.

Be blessed and be at peace.
