He Walked Into My Kitchen And Knocked Over Jars I Forgot I Had

"Anybody can love the version of you that stays sealed on the shelf. Real love reaches for the jars you buried in the back." - LaTonya MeChelle

Let me talk to the one who thinks they are already walking in it.

We are all WOW factors. Every one of us. People throw around kings and queens like everybody already knows it, and that part is true. The problem is not whether you are one. The problem is that most of us do not understand how to walk in it. We do not really believe we are the prize, because we have spent our whole lives trying to fit in and conform to this world instead of conforming to who we were actually created to be.

A real WOW factor walks in who they are, unapologetically. And here is the part people miss. They do not have to be the best at everything right now. They are okay still working on themselves, still bettering themselves, because through all of it they are still being themselves. That is the difference. It is not about having arrived. It is about not wearing the mask while you grow.

Let me tell you on myself, because I will always tell my story if it helps somebody.

I thought I was walking in my top confidence. I thought I was doing really good. And then I got into a relationship that was my first time ever truly experiencing love, real love, and it triggered so much stuff I did not even know I was hiding in the back of my mind.

Now let me show you how I see it. Your head is like a whole kitchen with a big pantry, and the pantry is full of shelves, and the shelves are full of jars. Everything you have ever experienced, every hurt, every thing you did not want to deal with, you put it in a jar. You seal it up. You set it on the shelf. And the ones you really do not want to face, you push all the way to the back.

For most of my life I would not let anybody in my kitchen. But him, I let in. And because I let him in, he knocked over some jars. Jars I did not even know were back there. And when they fell, I had to look at myself in the mirror differently. Not in a bad way. Just honest. Things I had forgotten. Things I had hidden. Things I had never let myself feel. And I could not hide them anymore, because he required me to be my true self, and I required the same of him.

So now I am dealing with it. I am learning things about me I did not know. I am becoming a different person. Not that the old me was the wrong person, but I am not hiding anymore. I am facing it. And that right there is the whole point. Facing it with the mask off is me still walking in my WOW factor. It is out now. It does not always feel good, but it is out. And that is what being a WOW factor on all levels looks like, not just the parts that are easy to show.

Here is where it connects to the CHOICES Lifestyle, because you cannot get to the WOW factor without the practice first. Every day you get a choice. Keep the jars sealed and pushed to the back, or let yourself deal with what is actually on your shelves. Choosing yourself on purpose means being willing to look at what falls when somebody real gets close enough to knock something over. The CHOICES Lifestyle is the doing. Facing the kitchen is the doing.

And the WOW FACTOR Mindset is what you step into on the other side of that honesty. When the Creator made you, whatever you believe in, the source, God, however you hold it, you were made unique and amazing on purpose. You fail that when you refuse to walk in it. Being your WOW factor is not about being perfect. You really do not have to have it all together. It is about owning up to who you are. Owning your stuff. Walking in it based on nothing but you being true to yourself, not the role an abuser handed you, not the story a parent who neglected you left you carrying. That was never yours. You just picked it up because you did not know you had a choice.

And here is what happens when the mask comes off. People feel it. People can always sense when you are not being true, and they can feel it just as strong when you are. You keep saying you want that great person, that great thing, that great life. But you cannot manifest what you want while you are wearing a mask, because the real thing does not know where to find the real you. You get counterfeits when you are performing. You get the real blessings when you are being yourself. The great one, not just any one, finds you when you are finally home in who you are.

That is what I mean when I talk about the WOW factor. It is you, walking in what you were created to be. Not perfect. Not finished. Just true. And that is exactly what I work toward with people, every single time.

Until Next Time,
