Your Journey begins...

You can do it. Do what, you ask? You can have the life that you have always dreamed of. You can have healthier relationships, better leadership skills, and better money management.  The dreams you have…they can come true. All of them. Nothing can stop you. Are you shackled by past hurts? Does the future terrify you? Are you tired of sitting on the sidelines, of life~watching others having the success that you desire? The “you” you are today doesn’t have to be the person you are tomorrow.

What is the “secret”? Is it having an education? Is it winning the lottery? Having rich parents? Knowing the right people?  Does the answer, no, shock you? Although it would be great to have an abundance of all those things, not everyone is lucky too. I believe the “secret” is already inside you.

Dolly Parton is quoted with a saying that doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. "Find out who you are, and do it on purpose"
 
If someone asked you, “who are you?” what answer would you give them? Would you tell them what you do for a living? Would you tell them that you’re a house wife, a mother, a friend, a teacher, a daughter, a football fan or a funny man? I didn’t ask what you do for a living; what your hobbies are; what your relationship status is; or what your personality is….I asked who are you!

Keep in mind no one can answer this question but you. Your mom can’t answer it. Your wife or husband can’t answer it. Your counselor or minister or best friend can’t answer this question—but it must be answered if you are ever going to have the life you desire.

Finding the answer is going to be a journey that will take a life time. It is a journey we are going to do together. There may be some ups and downs. There may come up questions that can’t be answered. But it will be ok. Don’t look at the unknown as a defeat—but as an opportunity to grow. No matter what stage of life you are in—you can discover who you truly are—and perfect that person.   ~Kendra~
