Day 9 – Wake Up Like a Boss With Steve Harvey: Clap for Your Damn Self
You ain’t here to blend in. You here to stand out.
I learned a long time ago—your haters? They your biggest fans in disguise.
They watchin’. They lurkin’. They talkin’. And guess what? That’s a GOOD thing.
‘Cause if they watchin’, that means you doin’ somethin’ that’s got their attention. You makin’ moves. You shakin’ the room. You disruptin’ the norm.
But here’s where folks mess up—they waste energy tryin’ to prove somethin’ to them haters.
Stop it.
You ain’t gotta convince nobody. You ain’t gotta get their validation. You just gotta give ‘em a show.
Shine so hard today that they gotta grab shades.
Glow so bright they can’t ignore you even if they try.
See, when you walk in your purpose, when you stay in your lane, when you clap for your damn self?
That’s when the world—and your haters—gon’ have no choice but to pay attention.
But don’t do it for them. Do it for YOU.
Clap for your damn self today.
Celebrate yourself.
Honor how far you done come.
Stand tall and let your light shine unapologetically.
You ain’t here to blend in. You here to stand out.
You ain’t here to dim your light so others feel comfortable.
You here to shine like God designed you to.
So today?
Let ‘em watch.
Let ‘em whisper.
And while they do?
You put on a show. You show up. You show out. And you clap for yourself like you the headliner.
Let’s get it.
I agree you don’t need validation but from GOD man don’t matter lol thank you Mr Harvey
Steve, this hits deep! Today, I’m clapping loud for myself, celebrating every step I’ve taken and shining unapologetically. I’m not here to blend in, I’m here to blaze a trail and inspire others to do the same. Let’s show up, show out, and let our light radiate! 🙌✨ #WakeUpLikeABoss”

I agree so much with this Steve, what’s funny is I didn’t sign up to be in your Instagram group but some how some way yesterday it popped up on one of my Instagram pages. So I opened it up but every time I clicked on the links it didn’t pull up anything. Fast forward to this am I copied it and paste so I could see all what was going on and I’m glad I did because I was able to see this motivation. Times haven’t been the easiest but this just gave me a boost to keep striving even more! To someone else going through similar never look back you got this stay head held high & keep going forward.
