yes yes! i feel like we always are stunned when we actually take a step back and really look at ourselves. we are so protective of ourselves that we have become so good at hiding our truths. its amazing. but when you look deep into yourself, you start to see the things you have been unconsciously trying so hard to hide!
The first time I came to know you was from that nice book the secret. I’m still amazed how much I learn from you every day and how much I’ve changed since then. Yes yes no one is asking me to sacrifice to takecare of my them. So I’m going to do me. I’m going start taking care of me. Thanks
I have just started journals. I have four. 1.A spiritual 2. My giraffe journal, what areas I need work on like fears. 3.My tree journal, growth journal, wisdom.4.Finally, Bossy lady. leadership goals.
I have put everybody’s joy and happiness before mine and I hand it all out never leaving me any but I realized that I need to put myself first because life is to short and I know now that I can not make everybody happy and that, that isn’t my job it’s there’s and that stretching myself out only hurts me and I realize now it’s my turn to take of me before I take care of anybody else
Lisa, just hearing the words of having "outgrown procrastination" were the kick in the brain I needed to get my mind out of the rut I let it get trapped in. Whether it gets trapped in guilt, fear, or disbelief I have to remember that my thoughts determine my actions and my actions determine my future & possibilities! Sometimes I need that reminder to live in lessons Ive learned so Im not backtracking into bad habits & old mindsets.
WOW! Lisa...This is so Prophetic! My BOL was when answered the question on "fear"... you said that "10 years later that person will turn to you and say;"I didn't ask you to ..." WOW. for many years I have been existing in that and believe it or not I have heard those words from my grown daughters and thought they don't "Love Me"..but hearing you today ...Gave Me Life! I have been following you for sometime and you have been my therapist, you have changed my life and I will one day meet you and Thank you in person! Keep saving... picking up the pieces and putting us back together "Beautifully" You ARE A BLESSING! All My Love "The Mosaic Woman"
My BOL moment came as I was taking notes! I wrote "Move, GLOW (instead of grow) grow, leap inside the fear & imperfection while moving forward. I kept the word "Glow" because as we embrace our fears & imperfections by taking action in our commitment to move forward we will GLOW! Thanks Lisa! I LOVE your inspirational, real down to earth vids!
I can't decide whether I'm about to cry or to yell because of a strong feeling of relief when I watch your vids. Your energy and light come right through the screen, Lisa! I send you a huuuuuuuuge warm hug. I know what means to willingly be a sacrifice for long - just to finally discover the altar never existed. BOL!!!
I will never forget when My very best friend said to me "I so admire you I don't know how you do what you do" & FINALLY I SAID TO HER I HAVE THE SAME struggles YOU ALL DO I JUST DON'T SAY NOTHING" To FINALLY just say those words gave me so much freedom...I couldn't tell them because they needed me ...Wow I need Me... If I could just show up for me like I showed up for others my life would be completely different. Thank you so much Lisa for showing up in this season in my life ‼️💞
BOL! Thank you so much Lisa for sharing your voice, gifts, and grandmother's wisdom with the world. We need you! My BOL moment came when I heard you speaking at Mind Valley. All my life I have been told covertly and overtly to shrink back, play small, your light is too bright, dim your light, hide your light, be quiet...but you gave me permission to shine, to shine without limitations and restrictions and unapologetically so. Everyday I take two things in my spirit that you spoke into my very being: I shine fully and unapologetically and I never enter a room waiting to be accepted, I walk into a room knowing I am already accepted, all with a good attitude and in love. Those two affirmations have been a game changer in my life. Thank you my dear sister friend. I love you. Blessings.
You can sincerely feel your presence because you have CHOSEN to love us all unconditionally. WHAT A GIFT. GOD'S BLESSINGS UPON YOUR LIFE ARE SO OBVIOUS. The way you approached your son's birthday yearly was unique. I shared that with my children to help them along. Learning to just do you is sobering no matter when you realize it. Thank you for sharing!
BOL!!! This sent me into tears because I realize that honestly, nobody said they wanted my joy or to be my burden!!!!! It's so simple. I honestly can stop putting 80% into what's overwhelming for me and take more action in What I love and be happy and successful!!! Thanks Lisa! I love you! Career change!!! 💃
Yes YES! Since I met you through the internet a few weeks ago (I took your 90 minute class), I have been blown away. So many things I knew BUT was afraid to take action- you addressed! God answered many of my prayers through your ministry! I am so grateful for your free class, I am no longer allowing fear to hold me back, I am taking Radical action! My light will no longer be dimmed in the presence of others.
Thank you Lisa Nichols for this BOL “They’re not here to burden you, they’re here to give you the opportunity to see your strength, see your grace, see your compassion.”
I’ve just finished reading Abundance Now book and definitely felt everything you said helps me to grow my business. I’m in my second round of reading and making notes then I came across your channel. ( I’m a firm believer that good books should be read three times) since discovering your channel, I’ve had the most rewarding feelings so far and I endeavour to follow up actionable steps to “funding my dream” In your episode “How to stay humble while owning your brilliance” I have so many Yes YES! Moments all I can say is I am owning my light because what I do is so different to what has ever been done before that sometimes feels lonely and people look at me strangely but you know what keeps me going is my inner voice cheering me on, my passion is bigger than me, my passion is my deepest desire, my InnerZeal is God manifested and so I know I have to stay humble when I go up a gear reaching millions of people I remain me, wake up in gratitude for my life, writing 10 things I’m grateful for as I open my eyes. So your episode remaining humble is a reminder not to freak out as I climb the ladder- sharing what I do as a result of creating a dance fitness brand called InnerZeal Reggae-Robics, which helps bring back the fun in fitness exercises. Our MTM tribe is a reminder to keep doing all the things I am already practicing. Thank u for reminding me that I’m a servant leader it is exactly what I do! I serve & lead. Thanks to your book! I’m taking more disciplined action for financial increase. I’m extremely grateful to be on board the tribe. Everything I’ve been doing before I met you had brought me to this place where I am now. A positive thinker I have no negative chatter! I work on my good every single morning and what I love the most is when u said look in the mirror and speak your affirmations. This lifted me up even further! Going from doing my affirmations in bed to looking in my eyes, YesYesss!! Truth transforms! giving thanks Lisa!
This was exactly the message I needed today. As someone who is trying to build a business that no one around me seems to support as I'm also struggling financially right now, I am REALLY hard on myself.. literally making myself physically sick with stress sometimes. But I know that's not fair to do to myself. I need to be kinder to myself and this is SUCH a great reminder. I can't show up as 100% to clients if I'm not even being 100% for myself.
I look be this episode! I always felt burdened trying to make ends meet for my family. My dad passed away while I was 8 and my mum got into acar accident that limited her abilities, it took me 10yrs to grow up, hustle and start providing for my siblings and mum. I wanted the best for them that I worked so hard and felt like nothing was enough. But from today onwards I choose to do what I can do without pressure and feeling burdened but with joy and grace. Thanks Lisa
Hey Lisa. Ive been everything to my children and husband. Its left me with PTSD and Bipolar w psychosis. Im about to start intensive therapy. My daughter is on a downward spiral but I cant help her right now. I just finished Abundance Now and am on No Matter What. You are so in tune on self awareness. Its just what I need right now.
What a beautiful thing, you Lisa, a beautiful dark skinned woman from the USA has deeply touched the soul of this beautiful pale skinned woman from Africa. #BOL I AM beautiful. I AM enough. My imperfections genuinely do make me perfect for the job of helping others. My gift is in connecting with people, understanding them and inspiring them. I have been waiting to be perfect before I got started on my calling to help people. Your shows have helped me on BOL's on more topics than I can write right now. Thank you and BLESS you
Let them see you move learn grow leap, inside of the fear. The pressure builds up when we want the people looking into our lives to see perfection. You just signed up for stress and they DIDN'T even ask you to be perfect.
Thank you for all the amazing tools ❤️Thank you for sharing your life & home! BOL I don’t know if it’s my ego or a real fear of letting my kids and family down but I’ve reached this level of success that I worked really hard for and now I am always trying to live up to what I THINK I’m supposed to do! Like traveling to Michigan from Kentucky every two weeks, taking care of everyone’s needs because I feel like that’s what they expect of me and it’s literally been killing me physically, emotionally and spiritually ! I’m exhausted all the time we aren’t saving money and paying things off like we should because I’m giving all of me time, money and resource to others because I don’t want to let anyone down !!! So my BOL I HAVE TO DO ME TOO!!! Time to let my family off the hook & LIVE!! Get my happiness back get my health and body back!!!! I will do this from a place of power and ease!!!❤️ THANK YOU- I SO needed this today because I have not been able to figure out how to do this and I know my family doesn’t want me to lose my Life and joy ! Love you Lisa - THANK YOU😘
yea girl, especially as women we are the care givers so we tend to often put our family before ourselves. but, what is gonna happen when we arent there to care for them because we ran ourselves into the ground!? im glad you are making the moves to take care of yourself FIRST! just because you have the thought process to put your everyones needs first shows you are a very caring, loving and strong women. make sure you put yourself first always! you need to continue to remain strong and healthy to care for others. Best of luck to you!😊
BOL my love ones only need me to love myself so I can love them from my overflow I am the only one that needs me to be perfect. If I fail I will just fail forward. Love you so much Lisa
Assurance!!! I missed that the first couple of times and needed to hear that. Also # BOL the various ways we get to interact with others IS NOT meant to burden us but show us our strength, compassion , and others characteristics we want to feel more assurance about but miss while trying to own someone else's joy . Thank you for the breakdown of how to do this differently from a place of powerful assurance...I'm excited for my first LIVE BOLs at SW2018 Orlando next week 😃
Wowzzers! I so have been wrapping myself around the idea that it’s Ok for me to move on and love my family from afar! This hit home!!! Time to make the rest of my life the best of my life!!! Thx u!!😘
“Im new at this” I’ll be telling myself this everyday. I’ve been at this life thing for 26 years but there’s ALWAYS a new day that I never had before and remember to give myself grace 🙌🏾
This was everything for me! I thought in life providing for everyone was needed. But yes it’s just stressful. And I’ve never put myself first. Of I just love myself and give to myself. I’ll be more valuable to my loved ones ❤️
I love this Lisa! This was something I need to hear! I have found that loving myself through all my imperfections, no matter what, it does give me grace. It allows me to pause and reflect on where I am at and how far I have come now. After graduating with my M.S. in Arts Management, I realize all the emotions, stress, and worry I had when I was trying to finish my program, I had no choice but to love myself even more. I felt like I had so many things against me, like being in the wrong jog, being single and alone, I had to really love myself more. I had to push through my fears. I had to give myself grace. I had to realize yes, I am not perfect. Even when my boss was never happy, old partners that were let down and that I couldn't be everything to everyone. I had to just focus on my degree and on my son. I had to do what I needed to do to get things done. I am so grateful for never giving up, staying focused and producing amazing results from doing that. I am grateful that I owned my mistakes, stayed accountable and then trying again. I went back to school for me and to try to build a better life for my son and I. We are on the edge of success!! Thank you Lisa, You are amazing and inspiring!!!!!
I believe historically I’ve fallen in the ‘Sacrificial martyr’ category, and that taking on the responsibility for others joy / satisfaction needs to decrease. Moving forward, I’m committed to doing consistent acts of self care and letting those around me benefit from my overflow. I’m willing to let those around me watch me learn, be transparent so that I can love and share from a place of power. My community is here to give me the opportunity to show my strength. Thank you, sister in the journey! :-) BOL!
I loved your message...Thank You! My life changed when I started telling myself "what's good for me, is good for them." A few years back when I was in an extremely difficult situation, I got my journal out and started listing what was good for me. I noticed that my mind would start thinking about the other person and how they would feel, etc. (an old bad habit of mine) and I just kept re-directing my attention on writing down what was good for me. I realized that if it's good for me, then I have to trust God and know that it's good for the other person, regardless of what my ego tells me. After letting go of always worrying or projecting how someone else will feel and putting myself first, instead of last has allowed me more freedom and space to flourish...more than I could have ever imagined. This is a great exercise...try it out and see for yourself! xoxo
In my life, all my life I've been so bogged down with helping others; before even considering myself and my needs. No more. My Ah ha moment was when you said allow people to watch you learn and grow; and stop trying to make people think you always got it all together.
Thanks for this video, it was conformation that I made the right decision to focus on what I desired and needed. I always thought about what my husband or kids wanted before considering myself. I'm on a new journey of possibilities for my life and have dug up my dreams that I thought where buried.
Blessings Lisa!! You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for putting your voice, your journey, your wisdom, your grace and beauty out here to help us move forward.
Wow this is me....mother of 6 girls. Ready to live for me but still making excuses. Slowly letting go of being everything for everyone but not for myself. Thanks so much.
Wow-good stuff Miss Lisa! I never thought of it that way but I do put a lot of pressure on myself thinking that I have put the burden on myself of being the one who has to show and teach and prove myself to my grown children. That was an eye opening and freeing video. Thank you!!
Thank you i love to hear I have a sister in you. I a mom also of two boys and I was really strike by the fact as a working mama I had to think that everything I must do is for my family and if I can't give I would be a failure. Thank you for that reminder of not giving too much pressure on myself for the things I still cannot do for now for them. I love it when you say to do things that I love and makes me happy. Thank you sister .
BOL from this video and others: Is for me to quit feeling guilty, just because I think I'm gonna let somebody down by telling them no, and to become comfortable in my "No" and also my "mistakes" knowing that I am not perfect but a work in progress, and being okay with that 😊.
Thank you, Lisa. Thank you for being so fearless vulnerable, yet so strong. You follow the very instruction Jesus gave Peter after he fell; to strengthen his brothers after he'd gotten up. I gain strength from yours and I gain new perception every time I listen to you. Thank you for choosing Lisa.🤗
Someone at some point disguised opportunity as tragedy and named it "failure", we need to remember that mistakes are really an opportunity to learn and grow
Thanks Lisa, I’m Mum to a bright and beautiful 13 year old who is my only child. I now have this on my schedule to wish him happy birthday and add from here on in... ‘now remember Sweetheart that this is my first time in parenting a 14 year old!’ 😅 woooo hoooooeeee what a pressure releaser Lisa!! Thank you x 🙏🏼
Wow! First, let me say Lisa, you look beautiful and I love that dress. As usual this was so inspiring and thank you for sharing. I too, appreciate the #BOL from Shanise. I really like that, "I have to do the things that I am not doing to get the things I haven't gotten yet. #YANA. Also Shaniqua's #BOL that her failures are feeding her. #YANA. Another #BOL from you is that, "My fear is that I will let myself down or I want be able to depend on myself." WOW! And #BOL that, I do want people in my life to see me succeed only or just see my perfection." Thank you for having so much insight and giving me my mail. It is so soreal when you are able to hear someone say how you have been feeling and all of the pressure we tend to put on ourselves.
God Is The Greatest I'm So Grateful And Thankful For God Blessing You Into My Life All Your Content Is Empowering And Life Changing May God Continue To Bless You.
You have a great gift and I am very grateful I listen to you. I had a lot of fear but listening to you have given me courage to move forward and listen to that fear. Allow it to walk with me but not allow it to keep me from moving forward #BTOL. Fear is helpful yet terrified. Thanks for being you Lisa! Hope you have a bless day.
yes girl lisa will get you up on your feet before you know it! im so happy i have a black women who is this strong to look up to. there arnt many out there that i can connect with on this level😊
Black Girl Entrepreneur Yes I am happy especially when you trying to elevate. It so much she have taught me.! Strong black woman who know who is and extremely honest. I love her!!
Hey Lisa!!!!!! You are so right of me needing to do me#BOL# . I needed to hear this at this point in my life. We as being the one in the family that everyone rely on is hard but I got a #BOL# from this message. Thanks Lisa you are the BEST. #YANA!!!!!!!
Glendora Hawkins Hi Lisa, I want to be a professional student to always to be able to learn. I don't have the means to stay motivated to always to keep learning. I have a learning disability I have taken on the pressure of everybody else. You mentioned in Teach People How to Treat You, fear, forgiveness, guilt. I haven't been able to really love me the way I once did. Lisa you said, " being willing to forgive yourself . It's because I am holding myself hostage to something. Something I did or something I did not do. A time when I stood up to fast. Did to much. I loved to soon. I stayed in it to long. I abused myself. Or abused someone else. I have the gift of song that needs to be perfected and comedian out look that also needs to be perfected. I have a grown son I did a lot for him. I was living my life for him. He told me last week that he hurt me and this is why my life is this way. Feedback Lisa
Suddenly realized I've spent my life trying to let others know I've got it all together - not letting them see I needed help, that I was stressed, or over my head sometimes. Yikes!
I'm here Lisa!!! 🤣💋🤣 It's Jucinta Chantelle from IG, I was on live watching your son talk about Self Esteem... I signed up for the webinar it's scheduled for 7/29/18... I'm gonna go & watch the old videos... But let me stop typing go & Listen to what Shanika has learned ... It's sounds good lol💋
OMG. I been stressing myself out to provide the things my daughters never asked for but I pressure myself to give it even when they said I don't want it. Omg
I have a tendency to match, and mirror other people's negitive emotions, and do ANYTHING to make them happy. BOL!! I don't need to live to make others happy. It should be a byproduct of loving service to myself and others.
I am willing to do anything I will be 49 in February and I have done amazing things in my beautiful life but I've always put everybody else first therefore I have not taken care of myself. I am willing to move mountains I am willing to physically move myself which I think I need eight holes change to get myself where I need to be
yes yes! i feel like we always are stunned when we actually take a step back and really look at ourselves. we are so protective of ourselves that we have become so good at hiding our truths. its amazing. but when you look deep into yourself, you start to see the things you have been unconsciously trying so hard to hide!
I love the place you've been filming your video. It looks sooooo relaxing. I love open-air relaxing places like this.
Lisa you look amazing. The setting was gorgeous! I feel like I have a best friend in you. I love this community. You’re so appreciated!
The first time I came to know you was from that nice book the secret. I’m still amazed how much I learn from you every day and how much I’ve changed since then. Yes yes no one is asking me to sacrifice to takecare of my them. So I’m going to do me. I’m going start taking care of me. Thanks

How has it been working for u?
My smile is back!!! What you are sharing is so true!!! Failing and learning lessons is not a bad thing, it is an awesome journey!!!
I have put everybody’s joy and happiness before mine and I hand it all out never leaving me any but I realized that I need to put myself first because life is to short and I know now that I can not make everybody happy and that, that isn’t my job it’s there’s and that stretching myself out only hurts me and I realize now it’s my turn to take of me before I take care of anybody else

My mom shared your story with me and every sense I WON'T stop watching you! Thank you, thank you THANK YOU for sharing!

Wow. I am slowly letting go of trying to be so perfect. Indeed, those in our care aren't here to burden us but help us see our strength. Thanks Lisa
I am beginning a new journey and I want to walk through it “from a place of confidence, love, peace, strength, power, grace, and ease” 💜💜
I am attempting to begin a new journey..its so hard. I have no idea where to begin.
I look be this episode! I always felt burdened trying to make ends meet for my family.

Your son's response had me tearing up! 😭
Hey Lisa. Ive been everything to my children and husband. Its left me with PTSD and Bipolar w psychosis. Im about to start intensive therapy. My daughter is on a downward spiral but I cant help her right now. I just finished Abundance Now and am on No Matter What. You are so in tune on self awareness. Its just what I need right now.
Yes! Telling the truth really does “set us free”.
What a beautiful thing, you Lisa, a beautiful dark skinned woman from the USA has deeply touched the soul of this beautiful pale skinned woman from Africa. #BOL I AM beautiful. I AM enough. My imperfections genuinely do make me perfect for the job of helping others. My gift is in connecting with people, understanding them and inspiring them. I have been waiting to be perfect before I got started on my calling to help people. Your shows have helped me on BOL's on more topics than I can write right now. Thank you and BLESS you
My breakthrough out loud is, but I just needed to hear someone say I believe in you ! Thank you
Love the words grace and ease, joy and gratitude. It hits home
Sister, I came to comment on that BEAUTIFUL dress, but then BOL. Thank you.
ok! i was like. lisa is working that dress! i thought i was the only one thinking that lol
I know right . Lisa you are beautiful
Let them see you move learn grow leap, inside of the fear. The pressure builds up when we want the people looking into our lives to see perfection. You just signed up for stress and they DIDN'T even ask you to be perfect.
I learned that I need to stop doing things for others! And I need to do for me! Especially when they are not doing for me! (Focus on me)
This is so for me... just starting on the quest to better my self and becoming whole!!!
Thank you for all the amazing tools ❤️Thank you for sharing your life & home! BOL I don’t know if it’s my ego or a real fear of letting my kids and family down but I’ve reached this level of success that I worked really hard for and now I am always trying to live up to what I THINK I’m supposed to do! Like traveling to Michigan from Kentucky every two weeks, taking care of everyone’s needs because I feel like that’s what they expect of me and it’s literally been killing me physically, emotionally and spiritually ! I’m exhausted all the time we aren’t saving money and paying things off like we should because I’m giving all of me time, money and resource to others because I don’t want to let anyone down !!! So my BOL I HAVE TO DO ME TOO!!! Time to let my family off the hook & LIVE!! Get my happiness back get my health and body back!!!! I will do this from a place of power and ease!!!❤️ THANK YOU- I SO needed this today because I have not been able to figure out how to do this and I know my family doesn’t want me to lose my
Life and joy ! Love you Lisa - THANK YOU😘
yea girl, especially as women we are the care givers so we tend to often put our family before ourselves. but, what is gonna happen when we arent there to care for them because we ran ourselves into the ground!? im glad you are making the moves to take care of yourself FIRST! just because you have the thought process to put your everyones needs first shows you are a very caring, loving and strong women. make sure you put yourself first always! you need to continue to remain strong and healthy to care for others. Best of luck to you!😊
Nicely stated here and I had forgotten about how much could be done in 90 days. Thanks for the reminder.
BOL my love ones only need me to love myself so I can love them from my overflow I am the only one that needs me to be perfect. If I fail I will just fail forward. Love you so much Lisa
Assurance!!! I missed that the first couple of times and needed to hear that. Also # BOL the various ways we get to interact with others IS NOT meant to burden us but show us our strength, compassion , and others characteristics we want to feel more assurance about but miss while trying to own someone else's joy . Thank you for the breakdown of how to do this differently from a place of powerful assurance...I'm excited for my first LIVE BOLs at SW2018 Orlando next week 😃
Wowzzers! I so have been wrapping myself around the idea that it’s Ok for me to move on and love my family from afar! This hit home!!! Time to make the rest of my life the best of my life!!! Thx u!!😘
Yes! Yes!! If we all would live our lives organically as we did growing up life would be less stressful, foot loose and fancy free and full of joy!
“Im new at this” I’ll be telling myself this everyday. I’ve been at this life thing for 26 years but there’s ALWAYS a new day that I never had before and remember to give myself grace 🙌🏾
This was everything for me! I thought in life providing for everyone was needed. But yes it’s just stressful. And I’ve never put myself first. Of I just love myself and give to myself. I’ll be more valuable to my loved ones ❤️
I love this Lisa! This was something I need to hear! I have found that loving myself through all my imperfections, no matter what, it does give me grace. It allows me to pause and reflect on where I am at and how far I have come now. After graduating with my M.S. in Arts Management, I realize all the emotions, stress, and worry I had when I was trying to finish my program, I had no choice but to love myself even more. I felt like I had so many things against me, like being in the wrong jog, being single and alone, I had to really love myself more. I had to push through my fears. I had to give myself grace. I had to realize yes, I am not perfect. Even when my boss was never happy, old partners that were let down and that I couldn't be everything to everyone. I had to just focus on my degree and on my son. I had to do what I needed to do to get things done.
I am so grateful for never giving up, staying focused and producing amazing results from doing that. I am grateful that I owned my mistakes, stayed accountable and then trying again. I went back to school for me and to try to build a better life for my son and I. We are on the edge of success!! Thank you Lisa, You are amazing and inspiring!!!!!
I believe historically I’ve fallen in the ‘Sacrificial martyr’ category, and that taking on the responsibility for others joy / satisfaction needs to decrease. Moving forward, I’m committed to doing consistent acts of self care and letting those around me benefit from my overflow. I’m willing to let those around me watch me learn, be transparent so that I can love and share from a place of power. My community is here to give me the opportunity to show my strength. Thank you, sister in the journey! :-) BOL!
I loved your message...Thank You! My life changed when I started telling myself "what's good for me, is good for them." A few years back when I was in an extremely difficult situation, I got my journal out and started listing what was good for me. I noticed that my mind would start thinking about the other person and how they would feel, etc. (an old bad habit of mine) and I just kept re-directing my attention on writing down what was good for me. I realized that if it's good for me, then I have to trust God and know that it's good for the other person, regardless of what my ego tells me. After letting go of always worrying or projecting how someone else will feel and putting myself first, instead of last has allowed me more freedom and space to flourish...more than I could have ever imagined. This is a great exercise...try it out and see for yourself! xoxo
In my life, all my life I've been so bogged down with helping others; before even considering myself and my needs. No more. My Ah ha moment was when you said allow people to watch you learn and grow; and stop trying to make people think you always got it all together.
Lisa, you bring forth my tears... Thank You!
Thanks for this video, it was conformation that I made the right decision to focus on what I desired and needed. I always thought about what my husband or kids wanted before considering myself. I'm on a new journey of possibilities for my life and have dug up my dreams that I thought where buried.
Blessings Lisa!! You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for putting your voice, your journey, your wisdom, your grace and beauty out here to help us move forward.
I will watch this video again and again until a get it ! Thank you Lisa
Wow this is me....mother of 6 girls. Ready to live for me but still making excuses. Slowly letting go of being everything for everyone but not for myself. Thanks so much.
thank you for you being you by helping me with the tools that is going proceive more and more ,,,
thanks Liza, you just made me to realize that its all about me, and I am doing it for me, other people are just a privilege.
Wow-good stuff Miss Lisa! I never thought of it that way but I do put a lot of pressure on myself thinking that I have put the burden on myself of being the one who has to show and teach and prove myself to my grown children. That was an eye opening and freeing video. Thank you!!
I love this message and the warm atmosphere of the video. Thank you Lisa!
Thank you i love to hear I have a sister in you. I a mom also of two boys and I was really strike by the fact as a working mama I had to think that everything I must do is for my family and if I can't give I would be a failure. Thank you for that reminder of not giving too much pressure on myself for the things I still cannot do for now for them. I love it when you say to do things that I love and makes me happy. Thank you sister .
BOL from this video and others: Is for me to quit feeling guilty, just because I think I'm gonna let somebody down by telling them no, and to become comfortable in my "No" and also my "mistakes" knowing that I am not perfect but a work in progress, and being okay with that 😊.
Thank you, Lisa. Thank you for being so fearless vulnerable, yet so strong. You follow the very instruction Jesus gave Peter after he fell; to strengthen his brothers after he'd gotten up.
I gain strength from yours and I gain new perception every time I listen to you.
Thank you for choosing Lisa.🤗
It feels so much better to do the things for me and not for anyone else
I'm my hero and my best friend
Lisa you are wonderful! I waching and listening you every day ☺.Congratulation and many thanks for helping as to be more confident in our life!❤❤❤❤❤
Someone at some point disguised opportunity as tragedy and named it "failure", we need to remember that mistakes are really an opportunity to learn and grow
Thank you so much. You are a beautiful inspiration ❤️
Thank You sooo much dearest sweeties 💐🙏🏼
You’re such an inspiration
Stay Blissful Eternally 😇🕉💖
This is my first time writing on any post ever. But I just wanted to say thank you.
This is so good! BOL I need to stop doing things for others and do me! Do what makes me happy! This is right in time
Thanks Lisa, I’m Mum to a bright and beautiful 13 year old who is my only child. I now have this on my schedule to wish him happy birthday and add from here on in... ‘now remember Sweetheart that this is my first time in parenting a 14 year old!’ 😅 woooo hoooooeeee what a pressure releaser Lisa!! Thank you x 🙏🏼
Wow! First, let me say Lisa, you look beautiful and I love that dress. As usual this was so inspiring and thank you for sharing. I too, appreciate the #BOL from Shanise. I really like that, "I have to do the things that I am not doing to get the things I haven't gotten yet. #YANA. Also Shaniqua's #BOL that her failures are feeding her. #YANA. Another #BOL from you is that, "My fear is that I will let myself down or I want be able to depend on myself." WOW! And #BOL that, I do want people in my life to see me succeed only or just see my perfection." Thank you for having so much insight and giving me my mail. It is so soreal when you are able to hear someone say how you have been feeling and all of the pressure we tend to put on ourselves.
God Is The Greatest I'm So Grateful And Thankful For God Blessing You Into My Life All Your Content Is Empowering And Life Changing May God Continue To Bless You.
I love that new hair style. You look amazing.
You have a great gift and I am very grateful I listen to you. I had a lot of fear but listening to you have given me courage to move forward and listen to that fear. Allow it to walk with me but not allow it to keep me from moving forward #BTOL. Fear is helpful yet terrified. Thanks for being you Lisa! Hope you have a bless day.

Glendora Hawkins Hi Lisa, I want to be a professional student to always to be able to learn. I don't have the means to stay motivated to always to keep learning. I have a learning disability I have taken on the pressure of everybody else. You mentioned in Teach People How to Treat You, fear, forgiveness, guilt. I haven't been able to really love me the way I once did. Lisa you said, " being willing to forgive yourself . It's because I am holding myself hostage to something. Something I did or something I did not do. A time when I stood up to fast. Did to much. I loved to soon. I stayed in it to long. I abused myself. Or abused someone else. I have the gift of song that needs to be perfected and comedian out look that also needs to be perfected. I have a grown son I did a lot for him. I was living my life for him. He told me last week that he hurt me and this is why my life is this way. Feedback Lisa
I'm crying now 😭I love him he didn't ask me to love him
Lisa amazing video i always follow you,,,,i will do whatever it takes to be succesful
Suddenly realized I've spent my life trying to let others know I've got it all together - not letting them see I needed help, that I was stressed, or over my head sometimes. Yikes!
I'm here Lisa!!! 🤣💋🤣 It's Jucinta Chantelle from IG, I was on live watching your son talk about Self Esteem... I signed up for the webinar it's scheduled for 7/29/18... I'm gonna go & watch the old videos... But let me stop typing go & Listen to what Shanika has learned ... It's sounds good lol💋
Lisa, this really blessed me! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video
Lovely just lovely
Looking forward to your lifestyle vlogs, Ms. Lisa. I equate fear as opportunities for learning. And sometimes you have to do things afraid. #BOL
yes yes Amen thank you I had to let people go.
I love u Lisa thank u can't share what I learned but some things has changed
Ok,I need to replay this.
I love you too Lisa❤ thank you again
Wow you really are amazing and your videos are really inspiring
Beautiful dress!
Thank you.
OMG. I been stressing myself out to provide the things my daughters never asked for but I pressure myself to give it even when they said I don't want it. Omg
My bol is if you help others, you too will be rewarded. I read that somewhere. I do believe it. I hope so.
This video was a great video!! i watched it in Ms. Madsen class
I have a tendency to match, and mirror other people's negitive emotions, and do ANYTHING to make them happy. BOL!! I don't need to live to make others happy. It should be a byproduct of loving service to myself and others.
#BOL..Never thought about these things the way you are directing me to think .. thank you . This is emancipation for me ..
Yes YES I had a inside aha, I don't need to perfect for myself or for others. I have know in my mind but I felt it just how. 🌟💗🤝
Great one thanks ma
BOL i'm learning to love myself.
Right on time 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Thank you Ms.Lisa needed this 🙏BOL 🙌
Lisa, I l❤️ve your dress. Awesome colors and you are beautiful from the inside out.
I am willing to do anything I will be 49 in February and I have done amazing things in my beautiful life but I've always put everybody else first therefore I have not taken care of myself. I am willing to move mountains I am willing to physically move myself which I think I need eight holes change to get myself where I need to be
