Change is the only thing CONSTANT!!

Over 3 years ago, I made a decision to leave Television, a field that I dreamed about since I was a child...my decision didn't come easy. After giving myself almost 4 years to check out the news industry, I came to a cross road and I realized that maybe I needed to go in a different direction. This decision was partly due to the hectic schedule of television, the clawing up the ladder and other issues I choose not to mention. I had to decide which direction I wanted to go in and what was more important in my life. After much meditation and prayer, I chose my home life and to try something I've always dreamed of doing above everything else...working for myself!

When I put in my resignation I was scared, but I didn't allow my fear of change to limit me...so I pressed on.  I have yet to have regrets about my decision to branch out and explore my life.
I truly believe God has my back so I've been letting go and letting God do his work. Being independent and working for myself have been very interesting to say the least!  I could never receive the knowledge I've been fortunate to receive from any university on the planet. In addition, I've expanded my social circle tremendously.   I've had ups and downs, but I never let those stop me and I've adopted looking at every experience as a part of a larger picture and try to learn the lesson in everything I do.

There is no doubt that change can be intimidating.  However, it's vital that you identify your goals, believe in yourself and most importantly take action...unstoppable action toward your goals.  If we are not working toward something greater, we will continue to just "exist" on a daily basis. Existing in my opinion is much harder to do than accomplishing goals. Whenever I accomplish a goal I feel exhilarated, my confidence level shoots up and I start to feel like I can do more!   It's also important to note that small goals are made up of larger goals. We sometimes feel like everything we do have to be big, but it's the smaller pieces that add up to the bigger picture and create a steady pace of positive change.

Many are challenged when it comes to facing change, but at the end of the day, it's all about perception. Our world is constantly evolving and in order for us to keep up with the times we have to be open-minded. There is an entire world out here for us to explore.   Step out on faith, try something new, CHALLENGE yourself more and get out of your comfort zone, but know that change wont happen overnight, but it's ok because anything that is of worth takes time.   Get comfortable in your uncomfortable zone!

Success and Prosperity is within all our reach!
