So I jumped onto the ‘learning new skills’ bandwagon and signed up for MasterClass. It’s not cheap - R250/ month, R3000.00 per year. I picked Ru Paul & I was blown away. So what can a drag queen teach us about self-love, authenticity and the magic of make-up? Key Takeaways:
1. Not everyone has to like you.
2. You don’t have to like everybody.
3. Be still, vibrate at the right frequency & the right people & right things will come to you.
4. Don’t shrink yourself for other people’s comfort. If I’m too much for you, you’re not my tribe. @RuPaul

5. Take out the old tape that’s playing in your head.
6. Sensitive souls when disappointed go from anger, to cynicism and disappointment. Don’t take it too seriously. Its all an illusion, let’s have fun.
7. If you’re rejected, it’s not you, it’s them. Let it go. @RuPaul

Reflection: what do you see? What do you allow yourself to see? What are you not seeing?

14. Walk in with all of your energy. Don’t dim the shine. You were not born to blend in but to stand out.
15. Think of a place of love, comfort & acceptance and imagine you’re there.
16. Anxiety means you’re living in the future. Be in the moment. Nothing’s that serious.
