“You’re not enough.” “You’ll never make it.” “Who do you think you are?”
These words—whether spoken by someone else or whispered in the depths of your own mind—have the power to shape how you see yourself. Maybe for years, you’ve carried these lies like baggage, letting them define your worth, your abilities, and your future. Girl, it’s time to set that baggage down. Because the words that once wounded you will now be the words that empower you.
The way you see yourself shapes the way you show up in the world. If you’ve been viewing yourself through the lens of fear, doubt, or past failures, it’s no surprise that stepping into your purpose feels impossible. But, what if you started to see yourself through the lens of truth, strength, and divine purpose? What if you replaced every negative thought with words that build, rather than break?
The Power of Letting Go of False Narratives
Letting go isn’t just about forgetting—it’s about replacing. It’s about uprooting the lies and planting seeds of truth. And the truth is:
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalm 139:14).
...you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9).
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, (Ephesians 3:20).
When you start believing these truths, everything shifts. Your posture changes, your confidence rises, and the version of you that once felt buried under insecurity finally emerges.
How Negative Self-Talk Holds You Back
Your mind is the battlefield where victory or defeat happens first. If you’ve ever struggled with thoughts like:
🚫 “I’m not smart enough.”🚫 “I don’t deserve success.”🚫 “I’ll never be as confident as her.”
…then you know how paralyzing those thoughts can be. They keep you playing small, hiding your gifts, and settling for less than what God has for you. But the moment you choose to rewrite the narrative and redefine who you are, everything changes.
Steps to Reclaiming Your Confidence and Identity
Awareness-Identify the Lies – What words have shaped your self-doubt? Write them down and confront them head-on.
Replace Them with Truth – Find scripture, affirmations, or evidence in your own life that contradicts these false beliefs.
Speak Life Daily – Start declaring: “I am bold. I am capable. I am worthy of every good thing coming my way.” (Read Proverbs 18:21 and declare the word of God daily.)
Surround Yourself with Voices that Uplift – Distance yourself from toxic environments and embrace community that reflects God’s truth back to you.
Take Action Anyway – Confidence grows in motion. When you take steps, you have to be confident that God is taking the steps with you and that you are not doing it alone.
The Words That Once Hurt You Will Now Empower You
You were never meant to live in the shadows of your past or under the weight of words that don’t serve you. Your voice, your story, and your purpose are far greater than the lies you used to believe.
So today, I challenge you—speak life over yourself daily. No more waiting for permission to walk in confidence. No more holding onto words that weren’t meant for you. The woman you’re becoming deserves to emerge as you evolve into HER.
