As I stepped into a new decade, I thought my life would be different at this stage. At thirty-six, I did not expect to be divorced, no children, still fighting for good health, have more degrees than a thermometer and starting all over in my career. Somehow losing it all, I found out just who I was meant to be all along. I’ve made some mistakes along the way and here is my journey to finding the best version of myself. I want to encourage whoever reads my words to keep going, keep striving; you are closer than you think. Be stubborn and curious enough to see what happens and how it all ends.
Being healthy is so much more than our weight and what we look like. It is time to change our perspective of how we look at health and wellness. Wellness is about our emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, environmental, financial, occupational, and social relationships with ourselves and others.
It all starts with looking within ourselves. You have everything you need within yourself to make your dreams a reality. If you do not have a dream, GET ONE! Regardless of your age, social and economic status at this point in your life. It is all about to change. Change happens to us regardless if we are ready or not. Get ready for a shift. Your life is about to change, you will become the best version of yourself.
Today, think about what you want your life to look like. Go crazy, write down what you think is impossible. You may have heard sky is the limit. NO, we have put men on the moon, women have traveled into space. You better think bigger. Dare to dream past the sky, outer space is the new limit. I’ll be back to continue this journey and share more about the history that gave me my wisdom.
My history has prepared me, and allows me to speak authority to all areas of my life. The situations I have faced made one colossal mistake, I survived! I am stronger, more stubborn, determined, and powerful than I have ever been. Even on my weakest days I still feel strong. I may cry for a moment, then watch out when I wipe my tears and get back to work. Unstoppable is who I am.
“When we hold onto our history, you do it at the expense of your destiny” -T.D. Jakes
