BUILDING PEACE FROM PIECES

WHEN THAT GOAL SEEMS OUT OF REACH ...

1/17/2024

 
INTRODUCTION

​
As always, the New Year came in pulsating with potential and promise. We find ourselves yearning, once again, to prevail. You might have decided you will do “it” this year. Or, that declaration might be just a smoldering at this point. 

​Whatever you vow to achieve in the year 2024, I invite you to, first, decide to discover the innate strength, resilience, and boundless possibilities that reside within you.
UNVEILING THE DREAM 

Several years into my professional journey, a compelling vision emerged—the notion of law school. This wasn't a whimsical childhood aspiration but a calling that resonated in the tapestry of my adult years. However, this dream faced staunch opposition; financial constraints seemed insurmountable, and the naysayers were quick to cast doubts.

Fueled by Faith

Contrary to external skepticism, I never considered my dream unattainable. Why? Because deep within, I embraced an unyielding faith in myself and my aspirations. It wasn't about proving others wrong but proving to myself that dreams, fueled by determination and unwavering faith, can materialize into reality.

Igniting the Stubborn Spirit

This journey wasn't a passive stroll; it required embracing the "stubborn" part within—the tenacity to persist in the face of adversity. Doors began to open, revealing opportunities unseen by my eyes and unimaginable by my mind. What others dismissed as impossible transformed into a tangible reality.

Inspiring Question for You

Have you ever harbored a dream that others doubted or questioned, perhaps even yourself?

​
Take a moment to reflect on that, for within the answer lies the potential for a transformative journey.
EMBRACING DREAMS 
Dreams, whether simmering or boiling yearnings, echo the need for change. 
Seeking external approval can be gratifying, but moving forward without it, despite disapproval, is the true test. Decisions should align with your beliefs, not influenced by external pressures.

Deep Dive:

Now, what is your inner voice telling you? 

                  Begin your journey. Now.

​No step or starting point is too small. Waiting for the stars to align only prolongs the start of your transformative journey. It's in these imperfect moments that true growth occurs.

Your Unique Path
​
Your journey to setting healthy boundaries and prioritizing yourself starts with a single step. Seek guidance, explore options, and remember that your path is uniquely yours.
Your successful journey requires:
  • Seeking guidance when uncertainty clouds your judgment.
  • Exploring various options to align with your authentic self.
  • Prioritizing yourself over external pressures.

Uncover Your Story

​Your story of triumph over adversity is waiting to be written. Begin now. In the spirit of Iyanla Vanzant's wisdom, 'let your inner voice guide you, for within it lies the key to your fulfillment and transformation'.

  You can do hard things.

CONCLUSION 
Remember, you possess the strength to create a more fulfilling life. Awakening the hero within requires courage, determination, and a willingness to take that first step.
Soul yours,
