The beauty in betting on yourself ..

The concept of taking risks and being receptive to change can be quite scary for one right?

Especially in this year .. from the pandemic and major social change that has occurred can only heighten that fear. It’s understandable.

But .. change is inevitable and most importantly, this concept is NECESSARY in order to evolve into the best versions of ourselves.

As a woman who’s been on earth for nearly 31 years, I’ve learned that some of the best experiences that have occurred in my life is when I decided to take a leap of faith, step out of my comfort zone and truly bet on myself .. knowing that I’m worth the reward that comes with risk taking.

I took a couple of major risks in my life as of recently with investing in stocks in order to potentially create another source of income for myself and I just ended another milestone in my professional career at a company that has truly allowed me to see my worth and the desire to advance more to serving the younger generation in my community to the best of my ability.

But also and more importantly … can I just be honest and say that this blog was A BIG RISK for me! Seriously!

I’ve always been an individual who’s constantly THINKING .. which can be bittersweet, but knowing that there are THOUSANDS of other blogs on the internet amongst other things, my main concern was being the same and not being recognized fully for the purpose and essentially brand that I have envisioned for this years ago, even when I did not feel worthy to start it. Nonetheless, after much consideration, prayer and an amazing support system, I continuously work on letting go of those thoughts daily and just going FOR IT! Following your heart and if any of you believe in an higher power, but to me when God speaks to me .. that is all the confirmation I need. Colossians 3:23 says it best .. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters”

I’ll keep this one short and hope you all (whether it is 2 or 200 eventually 😇) to continue to check in and look forward to the amazing content I have in store. From perspective, traveling, foodie experiences and most importantly lifestyle and words of motivation and affirmations .. my purpose is for those who follow is to truly know the importance of BETTING on yourself and not worrying about the “what if’s” in life and to train yourself on just being more PRESENT and finding the worth in just that.

Until the next post ..

❤️ & ✨
