Lesson 1 - You Were Built to Rise

You Were Built to Rise

You Were Built to Rise

No matter what you were told—even if someone said “no,” or “that’ll never work,” or “you’re not capable of achieving your dreams”—you’re still here. And that means something.

Maybe you’ve been overlooked. Maybe you’ve questioned your worth. Maybe you’ve felt invisible. But still, you create. Still, you dream. Still, you rise.

You rise when the world says sit down. You rise when your heart feels heavy. You rise when no one is watching, and when everyone is doubting.

That is strength. That is resilience. That is power.

Speak life into yourself. Tell yourself: I am capable. I am worthy. I can do all things. Not because it’s easy—but because it’s necessary. Because your voice matters. Your vision matters. You matter.

You don’t need to be perfect—just persistent. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just keep showing up.

Your art matters. Your story matters. Your presence matters. Even in silence, your work speaks. Even in struggle, your light shines.

You were not made to break. You were built to bend, to stretch, to evolve. You were built to rise.

So rise. Rise with your brush, your pen, your voice, your vision. Rise with your scars and your brilliance. Rise because the world needs what only you can give.

You were built to rise—and rise you shall.
