The Spiritual Side of Pageantry

There are two things every pageant winner has in common – I will reveal the first to you as it pertains to this post:



There are two major points I want to make within that statement.

Destiny
The first is that every winner is destined to win. Like I’ve stated before, winning a pageant can only ever be a desire, not a goal. This is because the outcome is completely out of your hands.
There is nothing you can do to alter the destiny of someone. This is where the importance of your spirituality is so vital with pageant preparation and in life. Your faith will provide you with the peace in knowing there is a higher power working and guiding you toward the purpose you were made to lead here on Earth. I believe everyone has a divine purpose.
There is a reason why you are competing in pageants. Maybe that reason has revealed itself to you or, like myself, it will reveal itself in the future, after you are done competing or have won a title.

Part of your ultimate purpose
Everyone has a purpose, but winning a title is not your purpose – it’s not anyone’s. It only plays a part in the overall journey and story to what you are meant to do and be. Remember that.
This is just as important to remember if you compete and don’t win a title as well. Your faith can give you peace of mind knowing that you are meant for something else, but the experience and knowledge you’ve gained from competing, whether you realize it or not, will be used to serve you in the future, to help fulfill your ultimate purpose.
Growing and connecting spiritually provides you everything – faith in yourself, love for yourself, compassion for others, feeling grateful, seeing the beauty in life, living in the moment, feeling whole and complete, strength to endure hard times, knowing every experience is bettering you, leading you towards the life you are destined to lead.
Ask, pray and meditate for the help, strength, guidance and wisdom to experience what’s necessary in order for you to become the woman you are meant to be. Your faith will never fail you.
You if need help with growing spiritually and connecting with God, I would love to help you. I am currently sponsoring my services a select number of clients. Contact me for more information.

Want To Win The Pageant? BE the Titleholder!

I just wrote a blog post about this over at TrueBeautyProgram.com and wanted to tailor this important information on how it can be applicable to winning a pageant. Once you believe in yourself enough to know you have every ability to win a pageant, you need to get yourself into the mindset of not only believing you can win, but to start acting as though you already are the titleholder! What, if anything, would you be doing differently? Would you carry yourself in a different way? Would you walk into a room a different way? You know that scene in Miss Congeniality when Victor, the pageant coach says "Yes, yes, yes. You wear the crown, be the crown, you are the crown!"  It’s funny, but it’s true! You attract what you ARE, not what you want, so from this day forth, do, say, think as you would if you already have the title!

Your Title is Not Your Identity

All of us know that when preparing for a pageant, the pageantry world consumes everything we do, think or even say. We watch videos, train, go shopping, train some more, check out the gossip online, watch previous pageants, attend appearances and so much more. And then if you win, it becomes even more a part of your world as you have appearances once or more a week, and are preparing yourself to compete for the national or International title on top of that. What happens after the pageant or after you pass on your title? Some women run into trouble after all the excitement of the pageant because they have started to attach and identify themselves with the pageant and/or title. You are NOT your title. WHO you are is not Miss Whoever. Life after pageants It is so important that from the start of training and there on, you do not mix your personal identity with your title because something bad will happen once that title is taken away or you're done competing and don’t w
