Following the powerful message she shared in her CMA acceptance speech, Lainey Wilson talked to ABC News about the daily affirmations she encouraged women to start using. "It's something that I haven't always done but it's something that I'm doing now," she explained. "It's getting up every day and looking at myself in the mirror and saying, 'I am beautiful. I am smart. I am fearless."
The country music star went on to acknowledge the long journey that led up to her success, explaining that she'd be in Nashville for 12 years working to make her dreams a reality with aspirations of music stardom starting when she was 9. The words she shared for her younger self double as another inspirational message to the many girls who look up to her.
"I would say the feeling that you're feeling and the dreams that you envision, it's going to happen," the "Things A Man Oughta Know" singer told the outlet. "I would say, 'Trust yourself, trust your gut, trust the Lord. Stay true to yourself. It's going to be some hard and dark days, but at the end of the day, it's what you love.'"
