Just Being Real

Believe in Yourself & You will be Unstoppable!

It’s taken me a long time to even attempt to get my mindset in the right place, and truth be told, I’m still working on it. I’m a real person, just trying to figure things out in the midst of all the chaos we call life. I’m far from perfect. I’m not here to put on a show or chase followers for the sake of it. I’m just being me, trusting that the right people will find me, or I’ll find them.

For the longest time, I’ve let excuses and worries hold me back. I’ve procrastinated more than I’d like to admit, often distracted by my phone, not by social media, but by game apps. OML, yeah… that has definitely got to change!

I’ve been running another company for years, one that isn’t aligned with my passion. It’s been leaving me feeling unfulfilled. But don’t get me wrong, I’ve learned a lot from the experience. Still, when I look back at how much time I’ve spent not doing what lights me up, it hits hard. It’s a wake-up call. There comes a point when enough is enough.

So here I am, putting it out there. Declaring it. I will take control. And maybe, just maybe, knowing I’ve said it out loud to you, will help keep me focused on my purpose. We’ll see how it all unfolds in the months ahead.

Life is hard. I’ve been through my share of failures, mistakes, betrayals, and heartbreaks. There were times I felt like I was drowning in it all, especially when I tried to figure it out on my own. That was tough. But when I finally found my way back to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, things started to shift, everything changed.

Through all the storms, I’ve come to see the blessings, the reasons, and the growth. The pain shaped me, moulded me... in actual fact, the trials made me stronger and I found inner strength I never knew I had. And when I stopped making everything about me, when I let go of the anger, rage, and sadness, my eyes opened.

Why didn’t I see it sooner?

It’s true that your environment shapes you. And it’s true that bad experiences can twist your character if you let them. But don't fear trying something new because of it, you’ll never know what you’re missing. So take risks, smart ones with no regrets. Just be a whole lot more aware of where you place yourself, it can either build you up or pull you down.

Every choice I’ve made, I’ve made with no regrets, including choosing my husband. (That’s a story for another day... Let’s just say, God knew what He was doing!)

Here’s to being real, being brave, and walking boldly into purpose.
