Identify and Reject Generational Curses
Experiencing mishaps can become a frequent pattern in your life. These mishaps may evolve physically, mentally, emotionally, or situational in nature, and may, at times, cause havoc in your life leaving you feeling trapped and in complete despair. As Grit Girl, I believe that you have the ability to identify the strongholds that have been holding you back in life. However, in order for you to identify the strongholds in your life, it is imperative that you experience vulnerability and become laser focused on the generational chain you want to break.
Just because you have seen your family members struggle with similar issues or illnesses doesn’t mean you are required to accept the “hand-me-down!” You are gritty and you are capable of rejecting anything that is formed against you.

People may try to cancel you out or sway you from living a victorious life because you have experienced failure.
