I was once a young girl, filled with dreams that sparkled brighter than the stars. I knew I was destined for greatness; my voice was strong, and no one could tame my wings. But as I grew older, I walked into rooms that tried to silence me. Slowly, my voice was tamed, my spirit was quieted, and my ideas were cast aside.
Yet, I rose again. I learned that life would try to bring me down, but I would always get back up. I tried to speak out once more, but then they told me I didn’t dress well enough for life’s grand occasions. “My dear, you are too young, keep quiet. Only you, with all these big dreams? If you don’t shut up, do you think you are better than all of us?”
To the young man, they said, “Before you ever earn that kind of money, you must wait. You can never be richer than me! Me, who is older than you by seven years? Do you think life will just favour only you?” And soon enough, you lost your dreams too. You stopped dreaming big and began to see only the imperfections.
“Maybe I am not smart enough. Maybe my dreams are truly unrealistic.
My nose is too big.
I have a broken tooth.
I am in a wheelchair.
I am disabled. How can I speak to billionaires?”
Dear Royalty, my message is simple: You Are Capable.
A few years ago, I found myself in a similar situation. My close friends and family showered me with “motivational words,” but instead of feeling uplifted, I felt even more discouraged. The more people believed in my ability to achieve the seemingly impossible, the more the pressure mounted. It was overwhelming. Perhaps you are in a similar place. You don’t need any more motivation. Deep down, you know you are capable, you are beautiful, you are worth it, but it still feels like a lie, to you. You don’t believe it.
Here is what I have to tell you: you are your biggest motivator. You are not just beautiful; you are capable of taking on the world. The world may call you disabled, but you are able.
Embrace your dreams again. Speak up, stand tall, and let no one silence you. Your wings are still there, ready to soar.
You have a unique voice that the world needs to hear. Your experiences, your perspective, your strength – they all matter. Do not let the world’s narrow definitions limit your boundless potential. Every challenge you face is an opportunity to rise higher, to shine brighter.
Remember, the greatest achievers in history were often those who faced the most daunting obstacles. Your disability does not define you; your spirit does. The fire within you is more powerful than any limitation the world tries to impose on you.
So, go out there and claim your space. Dream boldly. Live fearlessly. Let your light shine so brightly that it dispels the darkness of doubt and despair. You are a beacon of hope and strength, a testament to the incredible power of the holy spirit.
Believe in God, believe in yourself, for you are destined for greatness. The world is waiting for your footprint . Rise, Royalty, and let your wings carry you to the heights you were always meant to reach.
Your sister
