Choices
When you begin most anything, for most people anyways, you want to be successful and you’re searching for a way to make money.
Maybe you heard passive income is your best friend?
Money was what I used to track my success and affirm my decision in the beginning of everything I started.
But.
I quickly learned that expecting an overnight success or a quick path right up to the top, was delusional.
I had to learn to appreciate the small wins. Set small goals, within the bigger picture, and make actionable steps to reach each of those smaller goals.
Once I started to hit those small goals… to feel those teensy bits of success, it became clearer and clearer to me that this was the way to hit those bigger goals. IT ACTUALLY WORKED.
But why?
Why did it work?
I did not get “lucky”.
To spend money and start up something, to take a risk. I had to prove to myself that it was “worth it”.
Then you know what I did?
I. MADE. IT. WORTH. IT. Y’ALLLLLLL
I was not only Fɪɴᴀɴᴄɪᴀʟʟʏ ɪɴᴠᴇsᴛᴇᴅ and used that energy to keep going....
I started to become Eᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟʟʏ ɪɴᴠᴇsᴛᴇᴅ. I’m doing this for me. And only me.
I was OBSESSED with seeing how many people my posts could reach.
I couldn’t put my phone down y’all.
I was obsessed with reaching those small goals.
I was obsessed with creating and changing up my content.
And I LOVED every second of it.
It was EXACTLY what I needed in my life at that time.
And it gave me motivation to work towards goals... and I had NEVER HAD THAT!!
I was just going through motions of life.
Then I became what you are seeing/reading now...
Someone who L O V E S to motivate others and write for others and loves to share their journey so that it might help others.
I became so emotionally invested that I put obscene amounts of time into building this page, my socials, self-development, learning and trying something new every day, and everything you see here.
And there came a point in my journey where it would be STUPID for me to quit.
why would I ever quit and walk away from touching lives, helping them see they aren’t alone.
I can’t.

So read that quote again if you made it this far.
The decision to start is a small hurdle you’ll overcome, if YOU MAKE IT WORTH IT.
The decision to continue is a different kind of hurdle that you have to CHOOSE every single day. You have to choose what and who you spend your time on.
Choose wisely.
