Title: Leaving Your Legacy: Finding Inspiration to Make a Lasting Impact

Introduction:

Leaving a legacy is the act of creating a lasting impact on the world, something that will be remembered long after we are gone. It's about making a difference, leaving a mark, and inspiring others to follow in our footsteps. In this blog, we will explore the importance of leaving a legacy, ways to find inspiration, and ways to make sure your legacy lives on.

Why Leaving a Legacy is Important:

Leaving a legacy is important for several reasons. It allows us to contribute to something greater than ourselves, leaving behind a positive impact that can benefit future generations. It gives our lives meaning and purpose, and can inspire others to strive for greatness. By leaving a legacy, we can make sure that our values, beliefs, and accomplishments are remembered and celebrated long after we are no longer here.

Finding Inspiration:

Finding inspiration to leave a legacy can come from many sources. It can come from the people in our lives who have inspired us, the challenges we have overcome, or the causes we are passionate about.

Leaving a legacy isn't just about making a difference in the world at large; it also holds a special significance for your family. Your legacy can impact your family in meaningful ways, shaping their values, beliefs, and opportunities for generations to come. In this blog, we will explore the importance of considering your family when thinking about your legacy, the ways in which your legacy can positively influence your loved ones, and how to ensure that your family continues to benefit from your legacy long after you're gone.

Importance of Considering Your Family in Leaving a Legacy:

When you consider your family in the context of your legacy, you are acknowledging the unique bond and connection you share with your loved ones. Your legacy can serve as a source of strength, guidance, and inspiration for your family members, instilling in them a sense of pride and purpose. By thinking about your family when planning your legacy, you are ensuring that your values and memories will be passed down through generations, creating a lasting impact that transcends time.

Positive Influence of Your Legacy on Your Family:

Your legacy has the power to positively influence your family in numerous ways. It can provide a sense of identity and belonging, as your family members draw strength from the values and principles you upheld during your lifetime. Your legacy can also serve as a source of motivation and aspiration, inspiring your family to pursue their own dreams and goals with determination and resilience. Additionally, your legacy can offer a sense of continuity and unity, bringing your family together around shared memories and traditions that honor your life and accomplishments.

Ensuring Your Family Benefits from Your Legacy:

To ensure that your family continues to benefit from your legacy long into the future, there are several steps you can take. First, communicate openly with your family about your values, beliefs, and hopes for the future, so they understand the importance of your legacy. Second, document your legacy in writing, through letters, journals, or memoirs, to provide a tangible record of your life and experiences. Third, involve your family in the creation and preservation of your legacy, inviting them to participate in activities or initiatives that reflect your values and passions. Finally, consider establishing a family foundation or trust that can carry out your charitable or philanthropic goals, ensuring that your legacy of giving back continues to benefit your family and the wider community for years to come.

Your legacy is a gift you leave for your family, a lasting impact that shapes their lives in meaningful ways. By considering your family when planning your legacy, you can ensure that your values, beliefs, and accomplishments continue to inspire and guide your loved ones through generations. Remember, your legacy is not just about what you leave behind; it's about the impact you make on those you hold dear.

Staying private and why it's important

People are sooo nosy, it's human nature to know what everyone is doing at all times. but you don't know what the person you're telling something to is going to do with that information, which is why it's better to stay private.

WHEN to stay private:

- plans you have in regards to your future

- how far along you are in an assignment or how well you did on something

- any ideas you have regarding business or creative assignments

WHY stay private:

- people might steal your ideas or use your words against you

- make you feel bad about your ideas or thoughts

- does not give anyone who is not close to you any unnecessary insight into your life

- protects your peace

HOW to stay private:

- think before you speak and think about who you're speaking to

- stray away from any topics regarding yourself unless necessary, people love talking about themselves

- write down your ideas or thoughts if you really wanna tell someone

KIND REMINDERS 🤍

1. You are someone’s dream girl exactly the way you are right now.

We put so much emphasis on growth and getting to that “next best place”, which is fine, but we always forget that we deserve self-love as we are right now. It does not mean that you aren’t at your “best” physically and/or mentally that you aren’t deserving of love, kindness, and respect.

2. Perspective is everything

Stop stressing over that one bad grade you received at school. In ten years, you won’t even remember what teacher gave it to you. Focus your energy on things that’ll have lasting impacts. When you look back on your life, you want to see the beauty of it, not the anguish.

3. Growth isn’t linear

Don’t blame yourself for messing up. We aren’t perfect and we are bound to mess up every once in a while. Learn from your mistakes, and try to not repeat them. And if you do, that’s okay, there’s always another time. Growth has no time limit.

4. You are not a bad person

If you are sitting here constantly asking yourself if you are a bad person or underserving of love, I’m here to tell you one thing: bad people don’t worry about whether they are perceived as “good” or “bad”. Give yourself grace, and stop letting your overthinking consume you.

So much love,

A girl unfiltered 💋

[succulentsiren]

Girl, it’s time to get out of your own way. You’re too gifted to rot away and suppress your magic. Start facing your fears and conquer them. For once, allow yourself to flourish.🌹

[milkoomi]

⋆˚࿔ a new canvas means a new you 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

a mini series on the art of becoming a better you

chapter 1 | chapter 2 | chapter 3

chapter four — THE ART OF SELF RESPECT

when you live a life where you don’t respect yourself, your boundaries, your health, your mind, your emotions; just anything about you, you’ll end up living a life where you’re walked all over, where people take advantage of you, where you’ll find no successes or achievements— you live a life feeling lost and feeling empty, feeling like your mission in life is to be meaningless. we’re taught to respect others, but we’re never taught to respect ourselves. we, as individuals, need to have the highest level of respect for one person. that person being us.

ᥫ᭡. where to start

decenter men

i was talking about this the other night with my best friend, but way too many people (women, men, trans women/men, literally anyone) center their lives around men. the patriarchy has stolen so many people’s individuality, stripping them of finding their own personality, their own interests, opinions, hobbies, etc. and that is one of the main reasons people don’t have any self respect. decenter men.

a man should not, and never define who you are as a person. a man should never make you feel like you are undeserving of your own successes. a man should never make you feel any less than what you truly are! men should never be a source of validation for you as a person. it doesn’t matter if you’re a man yourself (cis or trans), it doesn’t matter if you’re a woman (cis or trans), and it doesn’t matter if you’re nonbinary/gender-nonconforming; you should never ever— and i mean ever— center your ideals, thoughts, opinions, hobbies, interests, and your entire self and life around a man.

too many people are so focused on men and what men think about them. and let me just give you some food for thought: when have you ever done something solely for yourself without the back thought of a man’s approval? i’ll admit, back in high school i spent all four years thinking about men and seeking validation from a man. from my freshman year all up until my senior year i was in back to back relationships because i couldn’t even fathom the thought of being without a man. and you know what that did for me? it made me miserable, it made me more insecure, and it made me put myself into situations that the person who i am now would be insanely repulsed by because what the fuck was i thinking? majority of my teenage years were spent centering my life around men, and i was miserable.

now, at my current age at this point in my life, i am so unbelievably lucky to be engaged to the man of my dreams, but! i remember when my partner and i first started dating, my therapist asked about 5-6 months into my relationship, “do you feel like you depend on him for your happiness?” and it made me think, “oh my god, what if i am? what if all the anxieties i have about my relationship are because i rely too much on him for my own happiness?” while my relationship with him is the healthiest, happiest, and most healing relationship i’ve ever been in, i had to learn to be okay with being by myself; with being in the company of my own, without him, because i can’t depend on him for company or happiness or peace— i have to depend on myself for those things, and he’s just my wonderful partner that i get to enjoy and experience life with. he’s not my entire life. he’s only a part of it.

you have to learn to be happy and to find peace with being by yourself. your whole life can’t be surrounding the idea of a man.

here are a couple posts that i’ve found to be really helpful with how to decenter men:

“decentering men and recentering yourself” by @honeytonedhottie

“how to decenter men” by @femmefatalevibe

stop seeking validation from others

not only do people seek validation from men, they seek validation from literally anyone. parents, teachers, bosses, friends, classmates, colleagues; people are looking from validation from all the wrong sources. you, yourself, should be the only person you seek validation from. you should be setting your own standard from yourself.

again, looking for validation from any outside source only makes you lose yourself more and more in the process. you forget all about what you want and need from yourself because you’re so focused on what other people need and want from you. validate yourself, affirm yourself, just be there for yourself. you don’t need anyone or anything else telling you that you’re doing something right. you’ll know what’s right for you because you should know yourself better than anyone else!

set boundaries

chapter three was all about learning how to say no and how to set boundaries, so i highly recommend going back to that chapter and reviewing it since i go more in-depth on that topic!

setting boundaries for yourself is one of the best things to do to regain your self respect. knowing what exactly you want from yourself and from others and setting that line will not only protect your happiness and peace, but it will also show an immense amount of respect that you have for yourself to others who may think that they don’t have to respect you.

ᥫ᭡. self respect as a whole

respecting yourself means respecting your peace, your privacy, your thoughts, your opinions, your emotions; you as a person. it protects you from things and people that could potentially harm you, whether it’s physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.

protect your peace. protect your happiness. protect your mind and your body. when you disrespect yourself by partaking in an overuse of harmful substances, having unprotected sex with someone you don’t even have a genuine connection to, or accepting behaviors from someone who’s constantly hurting you or betraying your trust you become a doormat for people to walk all over you in life.

i have known too many people, myself included, who disrespected themselves and faced one too many hardships in life. it makes us miserable and that misery turns into so many mental health issues that can sometimes cause too much harm that it makes it 100 times more difficult to recover.

self respect doesn’t have to be hard. you can always start small by just taking care of yourself! this has been a recurring theme in this series, but here i am to say it again: prioritize yourself! respect that you have needs and wants and do things for yourself that make you feel good and that benefit you. self care is vital, and respecting the fact that your own health needs to be in check is a wonderful first step towards gaining more self respect.

you have to show up for yourself, you have to immerse yourself in activities/hobbies/media that’s actually good for you— not what you think is good for you, you have to be kind to yourself, and you have to love yourself, babes. seriously, self respect can be a really simple thing at the end of the day and it can come so easily to you if you just let it be. don’t make your life harder by disrespecting yourself.

ᥫ᭡. final notes

we’re nearing the end of this mini series! chapter five will be the final chapter! i’m so thankful that this series has been shown so much love so far and i hope that it’s been able to help you guys as much as it helped me! i know i’ve been writing all of these, but something about creating content like this really motivates me to keep moving forward with my own self improvement journey.

i hope you guys always know i’m with you every step of the way in this journey. you never have to walk it alone, trust me! i know i always talk about being there for yourself, but other people (who are genuinely worth it, of course) can be there for you too! we’ve all got the same goal: to better ourselves. it’s going to be a difficult and long journey, but we’ll make it together!

with lots of love, juno 🌷

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, maintaining a healthy and positive growth mindset is essential for personal development and overall well-being. A growth mindset is characterized by a belief that our abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. It empowers us to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and persist in the face of obstacles.

### Understanding the Meaning of a Growth Mindset:

At the core of a growth mindset is the belief that we have the power to shape our own abilities and outcomes through effort and resilience. People with a growth mindset view setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth, rather than as indicators of their fixed abilities. This mindset encourages continuous self-improvement and a willingness to step out of comfort zones.

### Tips for Cultivating a Healthy and Positive Growth Mindset:

1. Embrace Challenges: Instead of shying away from obstacles, see them as opportunities to learn and grow. Approach challenges with a positive attitude and a willingness to put in effort.

2. Learn from Failures: View failures as valuable learning experiences rather than as reflections of your abilities. Analyze what went wrong, extract lessons, and use them to improve in the future.

3. Practice Self-Compassion: Be gentle with yourself and avoid self-criticism. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, especially during difficult times.

4. Seek Feedback: Welcome feedback from others as a way to gain new perspectives and insights. Use constructive criticism as a tool for self-improvement.

5. Cultivate Curiosity: Stay curious and open-minded, continuously seeking new knowledge and experiences. Approach learning with enthusiasm and a desire to explore the unknown.

6. Set Goals: Establish clear, achievable goals that align with your values and aspirations. Break them down into manageable steps and track your progress along the way.

7. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Surround yourself with supportive and positive influences. Engage with people who uplift and inspire you on your journey towards growth.

### Conclusion:

In conclusion, maintaining a healthy and positive growth mindset is a powerful tool for personal development and success. By embracing challenges, learning from failures, and nurturing a mindset of continuous growth, we can unlock our full potential and thrive in all aspects of life. With determination, self-reflection, and a commitment to progress, we can cultivate a mindset that empowers us to achieve our goals and lead a fulfilling life.

why should you solo date?

self-discovery: spending time alone allows you to get to know yourself better. you can explore your interests, preferences, and thoughts without external influences.

boosted confidence: doing things on your own can build your confidence and independence. it shows that you can enjoy your own company and handle situations without relying on others.

for example, imagine you are planning and executing a solo travel adventure. it will require you to make various decisions, from choosing destinations to managing your itinerary. this practice can enhance your confidence in making choices independently.

relaxation and mindfulness: solo dates give you the chance to relax and be present in the moment. you can enjoy activities at your own pace without worrying about anyone else’s schedule or preferences.

personal growth: taking yourself out on a date can be a form of self-love and personal growth. it encourages you to prioritize your own happiness and well-being.

flexibility: when you’re alone, you have the freedom to do exactly what you want, when you want. you can change plans on a whim without needing to consider anyone else’s desires.

creativity and inspiration: solo time can spark creativity and inspiration. without distractions, you might find new ideas or solutions to problems that have been on your mind.

stress relief: taking a break from social interactions and responsibilities can reduce stress. it’s a chance to recharge and focus on your own needs.

enhanced appreciation: spending time alone can help you appreciate your relationships more. it gives you a chance to miss your loved ones and value the time you spend with them.

you can participate in most everything on a solo-date. whether it’s going to a café, visiting a museum, or simply taking a walk in the park, it can be a fulfilling experience. some of my favourite solo date activities include going to the cinema, visiting the farmers market, and reading at the park.

definitely always use your head when deciding where to solo date. avoid remote/risking hiking trails, bars and nightclubs, and large social events (festivals).

happy solo dating!

the world is your playground

you're not controlled by anyone. you're not controlled by circumstances. you're not controlled by experiences. you're not controlled by the past and future. you're not controlled by religion and deities. you're not controlled by the youniverse. you're not controlled by your parents. you're not controlled by money. you're not controlled by grades. you're not controlled by work. you're not controlled by illness. the only person that controls you, is yourself and the frequency you align with.

you are the creator of your reality, nothing can enter it unless you allow it.

now that we have established that you create your reality, how can we alter the creation that we are currently living? by changing our frequency (i don't mean being happy 24/7 and changing your vibration, that's something else). to change your frequency, you have to align your thoughts, beliefs, actions, emotions, and feelings, to your desire. in short, you have to understand that you have it already, its already yours. because as we mentioned before, nothing can enter your reality unless you allow it, unless you're aligned with it. for example: how can money come into your life, if you don't allow it/align with it, or how can suffering leave your life if you allow it/align with it.

after that, it's simple, just persist with the understanding that it is yours and nothing that the physical reality shows you is real because, in the end, it's all just an illusion that was constructed by your old story/your old frequency alignment. the physical will show you the new story/new frequency alignment, but at this point, you will be so fulfilled in the mental, that you won't be attached to it. you need to shift internally to the point where you're not emotionally dependent on seeing changes in your reality.

to change your reality, you must shiftxwithin. 🌱

you have a choice. you can stay in the room where you are the best, where people rely on you, turn to you to learn, to improve. you can satisfy your ego and bask in the awareness that no one is above you.

or you can step into the room where you are not the best — where, in fact, you might be the worst at what you do. you can finally realize that there will always be someone better than you, humble yourself, cry, and wallow in self-pity.

you can remain in the room where you are praised and admired, or you can surround yourself with people who are better and more experienced than you. you can accept that there’s still a long way to go, that your talent and effort are nowhere near enough, and struggle to keep up with those who are truly better than you. then — and only then — you can unlock your true potential.

it is only by believing you’re far behind others that you’ll improve more than you ever thought possible.

why discomfort breeds growth

studies show that we grow most when we step outside of our comfort zones. according to a study published in the « journal of experimental psychology », being exposed to challenging and unfamiliar tasks increases brain plasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and develop new neural pathways. when you’re the “worst” in the room, your brain is forced to engage, learn, and adapt — activating areas responsible for problem-solving and critical thinking.

the “zone of proximal development”

lev vygotsky, a developmental psychologist, introduced the concept of the "zone of proximal development" (zpd) — the sweet spot where tasks are just beyond your current abilities. learning happens most effectively within this zone, but only if you're willing to confront challenges head-on. surrounding yourself with people who are more skilled or experienced than you puts you directly into this zone.

embracing failure as a learning tool

a 2011 study by ayelet fishbach and lauren eskreis-winkler, published in the journal of experimental social psychology, highlighted that experiencing failure can actually improve motivation and learning. the researchers found that when individuals interpret failure as an opportunity to learn rather than a threat to their ego, they develop greater resilience and determination in achieving their goals. this approach transforms the initial discomfort of not being the best into a powerful driver for personal growth.

how to start stepping into the “hard” rooms

adopt a growth mindset: psychologist carol dweck's research highlights the power of a growth mindset — believing that skills and intelligence can improve with effort. view every setback as an opportunity to learn.

reframe comparisons: instead of feeling inadequate when others outperform you, see them as resources. ask questions, learn from their methods, and let their expertise challenge you.

set stretch goals: aim for targets that feel slightly out of reach. they should scare you just enough to make you uncomfortable — but also excited to try.

stepping into the room where you’re not the best is scary. it might hurt your pride. but science is clear: true growth comes from struggle, humility, and persistence. the next time you feel like you're the worst in the room, remember — you're in the perfect place to unlock your potential.

Become Your Best Version Before 2025 - Day 15

The Power of Self-Talk

Hi Goddesses! Let's talk about something we all do every single day, often without realizing it, talking to ourselves. You know that little voice in your head that's always commenting on everything? Yeah, that one. Let's make it work for us instead of against us!

Think about it: would you talk to your best friend the way you sometimes talk to yourself? If you just had a mini "oh…" moment, you're not alone. I used to be the queen of harsh self-talk until I realized I was basically being a mean girl to myself 24/7.

So today, we're going to transform that inner critic into your biggest cheerleader. Not in a fake, toxic positivity way, but in a real, authentic way that actually sticks.

Let's look at how we can flip the script:

The Inner Dialogue Check-In

First, let's catch those thoughts! For just one hour today, try to notice your self-talk. No judgment, just observation. You might be surprised at what you hear. Are you:

Beating yourself up over tiny mistakes?

Comparing yourself to others?

Dismissing your achievements?

Using words like "always" and "never" about yourself?

The good news? Once you notice these patterns, you can start changing them.

The Language Swap Game

Here's a powerful trick: imagine your thoughts are text messages you can edit before sending. Let's practice some rewrites:

Instead of "I'm so stupid for making this mistake" Try: "I'm learning from this experience"

Instead of "I'll never be good enough" Try: "I'm growing and improving every day"

Instead of "Everyone else has it figured out except me" Try: "Everyone's on their own journey, and I'm exactly where I need to be"

The Mirror Exercise

This one might feel weird at first, but it works! Every morning when you look in the mirror:

Give yourself one genuine compliment

Say one thing you're proud of

Set one kind intention for the day

Start small, even a simple "Hey, I like your energy today" counts!

Building Your Confidence Playlist

Create a collection of phrases that make you feel strong. Your personal highlight reel might include:

Times you overcame challenges

Compliments you've received that felt truly meaningful

Your proudest moments

Little wins that made you smile

Keep these handy for when your inner critic gets too loud.

The Permission Slips Exercise

Write yourself permission slips, just like in school, but these are for:

Making mistakes and learning from them

Taking up space

Saying no without guilt

Being a work in progress

Changing your mind

The Reframe Game

When you catch a negative thought, ask yourself:

Would I say this to my best friend?

Is this thought helping or hurting me?

What would someone who loves me say instead?

What's a more balanced way to look at this?

Your Daily Self-Talk Rituals

Pick one or two of these to try:

Morning power phrases (said out loud!)

Gratitude check-ins with yourself

Evening appreciation moments

Celebratory self-high-fives (yes, really!)

The goal isn't to never have negative thoughts. It's to catch them, question them, and choose whether to believe them.

Your Challenge for today

Notice your self-talk patterns for one hour (set a timer if it helps!)

Pick ONE negative phrase you use often and write down a kinder alternative

Try the mirror challenge (even if it feels silly at first)

Remember, changing your inner dialogue is like learning a new language, it takes practice, patience, and lots of gentle reminders. You've got this, and more importantly, you deserve this!

See you tomorrow for Day 16!
