A Different Kind of Breed

I want to tell you a little story because it’s important, and it’s a big part of why I do what I do every single day.

At the time, I was working full-time in a job that I actually loved. I had the title, the office, the colleagues I absolutely adored, and I felt really “important.” Every time I talked about my job, I was proud of myself and couldn't wait to get to work.

I had the big, beautiful house, the car, and all the nice things… although our furniture was bought from IKEA, and we had to assemble it ourselves. (Lol… thank God that season is over.)

I was married to an incredible man with two small kids at home, but I also knew I wanted to make a change in my life and that I wanted something… better.

Investing $60 in myself seemed like a lot, and that tiny investment took months for me to actually act on. Eventually, I opted for three equal payments of $19.99… on a credit card.

But then began my journey of taking care of myself, loving myself, and truly discovering who I actually was.

Shortly after that, I was suddenly fired and lost my job without any notice. I came home in tears and hugged my husband. Then three of my best girlfriends showed up with food, wine, and the contact number for a good lawyer… lol. (We Queens always stick together and fight for what’s right.)

But that day, I decided to trust that little whisper from within my own heart and soul that said:

“Trust the timing of your life.”

That day, I went all in on my own business, and it’s now been well over 11 years of being my own boss.

But let me tell you…

The stakes got higher the higher I climbed and the more I grew.

That $60 investment turned into a $2,000 investment that helped me unlock a new level.

Then that $2,000 investment turned into a $10,000 investment for a coach and mentor that helped me unlock something else.

Then that $10,000 investment turned into a $1,000,000 investment, and voila…

Eventually, you find exactly what you’re looking for, but this…

It does come at a cost, and some people will always think you're "crazy"…

For some, the cost is a whopping $60, and they are "happy" with their life.

For others, there are no limits because they know they are capable of anything they set their minds to and have a bigger vision for their life and their family.

But here’s the real truth I learned from all of this:

Your spirit isn’t cheap. It’s just that humans are, and they are conditioned to be cheap. (Usually instilled in them from a very young age.)

Your spirit isn't scared, worried, or stressed. It's just that humans are full of fear, worry, and stress. (Usually instilled in them from a very young age.)

I also learned that if I wanted a better life, I had to stop being the shy, scared, broke, DIY, single mom who couldn’t afford an extra $60, who bought everything cheap, used, on sale, or secondhand, and who wouldn’t dare spend $110 on a pair of new Lululemon leggings for herself because she could buy four pairs at Old Navy for that price.

She had to go bye-bye. She had served her purpose, but her time was now expired.

I had to become someone new, and that?

Well, that’s a lot of fucking mental work to overcome yourself.

That work? It's the hardest work you will ever have to do in your entire life… Mastering your mindset.

I also learned that whatever it is you want, you can have, and whatever you need, you will always be provided for.

And that's not a hard work thing… that's a spiritual thing.

Either way, I just wanted to tell you today…

Trust that little whisper within that might be telling you to leap, try, buy, start something, let something go, or go do something.

Say YES to your life and say yes to facing all of your fears, and just see how different and incredible your life can become.

Most people won't be so brave and courageous.

But the brave and courageous ones?

Well, they're a different kind of breed.

Have the best day.
