My Story
I have lived the majority of my life as a victim, making the most of my decisions from fear. Most of my actions or lack there of was a direct result of not wanting to deal with certain consequences that I feared. Personally, I felt dis-empowered. And because I knew I wasn’t rising to my full potential, I was very good at hiding who I really was. I looked great on paper, did all the right things, but underneath it all felt very unfulfilled.
I blamed God for the good and allowing the bad. To be honest, I wasn’t actually living. I was simply alive and existing for the next day to arrive.
Have you ever had those moments where you were in the middle of a breakdown, and the only thing you could think to do was cry out loud to God?
I have.
Once again, I found myself blaming him for my circumstances. And just like that, a small voice inside of me said, “You have the power within you, get up!”
Sometimes all it takes is that small voice inside of you, a subtle shift in perspective to go from surviving to thriving. In that moment, I allowed myself to believe that I deserved more than I had given myself a chance to receive.
When I woke up from the illusion that I wasn’t worth my dreams, I began
feeding my vision
And what I want to emphasize to you is
You are worth the fight.
