Success seems to be connected to action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit. 👌🏼

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

If you don’t do things when you are ready then you will probably never do them because you’re never going to be 100% ready. So it’s time, mama. Start making a habit of doing things before you’re ready.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Please start doing things before you are ready. I absolutely cannot express the importance of this. It will change your life so much. Seriously, just trust me on this one, lil’ mama.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

The sooner you start making moves, the sooner you will understand why it’s so important to do things before you are ready.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

The traumas in your life serve as a foundation to help you start rebuilding a future version of yourself for what the next chapter may hold. The traumas are necessary, otherwise, you would not be prepared for where life wants to take you. The trauma is where growth happens.

Pssst…Hey, you…yes, YOU.
STOP LETTING PEOPLE INTO YOUR SPACE WHO DON’T BELONG! 🗣

STOP FORMING CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE YOU DON’T WANT TO FORM CONNECTIONS WITH! 🗣

You are in control, girl, only you. It’s time to start making better decisions for yourself…

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Toxic people hate boundaries. 🚩
Healthy people respect boundaries.

Read this as many times as you need…

The mind can easily shift from positive thinking to negative thinking, but it takes work to transition yourself from negative thinking to positive thinking. You have to start training your mind to see the positive and then it will become a habit.

Some of y’all literally be almost drowning in red flags because you’re swimming in so many that he threw at you, yet, you still stay…

Girl, YOU 👏🏼 CANNOT 👏🏼 PAINT 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 RED 👏🏼 FLAG 🚩 👏🏼 WHITE. 👏🏼 I repeat, 👏🏼 YOU 👏🏼 CANNOT 👏🏼 PAINT 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 RED 👏🏼 FLAG 🚩 👏🏼 WHITE. 👏🏼

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

My biggest flex is always being able to do things when I’m not ready. I’m never 100% ready to step into growth, but somehow, as soon as I take that first step forward, the path ALWAYS just magically appears for me. Every. Single. Time. The universe never disappoints.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Trauma has a way of completely shaking up your entire world and changing you, and it comes when you least expect it. Allow yourself to transition into the next version of yourself. She’s waiting for you. Don’t try to fight the process. We aren’t meant to stay the same forever.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Lil’ mama, you have to stop doubting yourself. Flip the switch and stop saying, “what if I fall?” and start saying, “what if I fly?” Stop thinking about what could go wrong and start thinking about what could go right.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Sometimes you’re not where you want to be due to a lack of knowledge. Learn to start asking for help. Stop suffering and start speaking up. There are people who have been where you are and they can help you get to where you want to go. Nobody became successful on their own.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

It is so important to learn to always show up as your complete and authentic self so you can recognize when there is a real connection with someone or not. Always be true to yourself, ladies.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Darling, you have an entire universe inside of you waiting for every layer to be peeled back and thoroughly explored. Wait for the man who is ready & willing to do that. Also, be sure to give him the same.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

Let people fall off. Everybody can’t stay. You don’t have room for everyone. Let people fall off so you can start to clear some space and allow energy for those who are meant to stay.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

If he starts off being low effort with dates and communication, don’t think that will improve. It will only get worse with time, girlfriend. Walk away before you get too invested. Just because he’s pretty is not an excuse to stay.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

There are a lot of low vibrational men out here but there are also high vibrational men, too. Just because you had a bad experience with a man does not mean there aren’t any good ones left. Keep looking, sis. You will eventually find someone on your level & don’t you dare settle.

[Amy McCarroll @bloomlikealotus]

When you start something new, you’re going to fail. You can’t expect to start off perfect without making mistakes. So, hurry up and get started, sis! The sooner you get started, the sooner you can get through all the mistakes. 😉
