The Journey starts here

Spread the love

The Journey of a Thousand miles starts with one step!

This is easy to say but hard to understand for many. I come from parents who came from little but were making the best of life. They were very giving and loved me enough to help me with me. Yes they had their downfalls but for the most part, they only wanted the best for me. So I have been on a journey my whole life. Yes i have been trying to find my way. I have spent countless hours learning new things and Lots of money to learn how to make money. The one thing I found was, the money is only the side effect of the life you want to live. I sent a message to a friend and she told me she was content with her life. I am sorry, but for the first time in my life I don’t want to just make a difference in my life, but a difference in every life I can touch. I spent money and never finished so many programs. Why is that? There was one program that I came to a brick wall. Was it because of me or because of the program. When you end up in a program and have to spend even more money after you have spent a lot on the program, it can become disheartening! What do I mean by that? Well you have your time spent on the program and paid your dues. You get to a point where you want to do some advertising but you are very limited. They show you how to sign up with this one program but you find that you have just enough to get you in. After a week of trying you find your money tapped out and the program will not let you go any further. Now that can be a big 2X4 across the face. It was for me. I literally became depressed! I became shut down and just out of energy for doing what I was doing. The amazing thing was, just because I came to a locked door, I didn’t quit! There was more inside me than I could understand. It was not about me. It was about a bigger game plan. A bigger game. A bigger group. It was about helping people past the gate even when they cannot afford the ticket! That was not the end of me and somehow deep down in side I knew it! I cannot explain it, or even tell you what it feels like.

When I was in Quartzsite Arizona working on selling what I was building at the time, a little guy in glasses and a long robe showed up at my booth. He seemed to have a deep knowledge of things. He said, I have been watching you, and you have this beautiful Ora around you. I can tell you a little bit about yourself. I told him OK and he asked if I made the pictures there on the shelves. I said yes and he continued. I see you use a light color for your frames. He said that means I cherish friendship. I agreed and he continued to tell me that he studied colors in the Andes Mountains. That is all I remember from the conversation and at that very moment he was gone. I did not see what way he went and could not find him after that. That is one of those moments in my life that I would be doing great things. I cannot explain the feeling as it was powerful and at the same time scary to think I would be taking on so much more in life. I do not take that moment with a grain of salt, but feel it was one of those enlightening moments that I needed to kick me in the butt!

You see, I do not believe that we meet people unless we need them or they need us or there will be a time that we might even need each other. We are all connected somehow and that is what I believe I will be learning in this course I have chosen to take. It does not sound easy as I have a lot on my plate at this time in my life! I am taking the plunge not only to better my self but to help all of those around me.

So here is to a better life!
