Dreaming of Hope, Growth & Love

I'm really excited about this team that I’ve discovered and joined.  I've been dreaming for quite a while that I wanted a team of like-minded people to work and build with, and boy I tell ya, this is it!  This is my answer.  I'm nowhere NEAR where I want to be, but for the first time in a long time, I really have that drive to make this happen.  We have a challenge this month!  $1000 bonus, for doing some scary but fun “schtuff” that is going to help others!  I’m totally DOWN!

 

Last night I was reflecting on my call with my mentor.  She shares about these opportunities that she's presented with to talk to people and share her passion and help them find theirs.  I mean she flips the script on telemarketers, tech support, door-to-door salesmen... She's appreciating and taking full advantage of every single opportunity that comes at her and she’s changing the lives of these individuals.

 

I wanna be like that!  I'm trying.  I printed off some business cards the other day to take with me to Walmart, I had the perfect opportunity but I totally chickened out. I was really frustrated that I didn’t do what I set out to do.  When I shared this with my mentor, she reminded me that it was my first attempt and that the next time will be a little bit easier.  And every time I practice, it will get a little easier each time!

 

So, a little backstory… stay with me here. I have a point.

 

I was in a relationship with a narcissist for 5 years.  That did a number on my self-esteem and confidence… especially in speaking and using my voice.  (You can read more about that HERE) The verbal and mental abuse was real y’all.  But I refuse to be a victim!  I’ve spent the last 4 years of my life healing and growing from that abuse… yes, I attempted healing before exiting the relationship… but I learned my lesson.  I make a lot of mistakes, and sometimes I make them twice or three times, but I do learn… eventually.  

 

Here’s my point… this journey with this team, it’s about more than financial freedom for me.  It’s about gaining more personal freedom of using my voice and believing in my voice.  It’s about me helping, encouraging, and teaching others to do it as well.  I honestly don’t sell a product (for real, it’s against the rules actually), I’m literally seeking out people that I can share my story with hopes of being honored with the privilege of hearing their story and seeing how we can help one another.  True, authentic, mutual friendships where there’s nothing but hope for growth and love for each other.

I’ll close with an affirmation that I wrote for myself. 
“I recognize all opportunities and register them as such the moment I lay my eyes on them.  I am prepared and open to each and every opportunity that is presented to me.”
