I felt like I was dying on the inside and I didn’t quite know why. I was suffering from deep depression, my performance on the job was poor, along with declining health. I also started contemplating suicide. This went on for years. Another tough pill to swallow was my daughter telling me I wasn’t a good father and it was true I wasn't. This pushed me deeper into the dark hole I was already in. The day she decided to come live with me was shocking, but it was the beginning of my resurrection. The unconditional love she and my girlfriend provided saved my life.

That's when I realized I had a Purpose. If they believed in me it was time that I started believing in myself.

Their unconditional love empowered me to be the best version of myself. I wanted to pay them back in some way, so I decided to climb out of that dark place, because I knew they were worthy of the best of me. They became my “Why” Who else was going to protect my baby girl, educate and encourage her to be the best version of herself? Who else was going to support my girlfriend as she chased after her dreams? These were my responsibilities. They saved me so it was time to thank them for never giving up on me.

 

The old saying, “Give someone their flowers while they’re still here” is what I wanted to do. I also wanted to tell them and the world to Cherish what you love, Chase your dreams, and most importantly Live in your purpose. With so much negativity in the world it's important to celebrate anyone who has excelled or made the decision to become more than they have been in the past and all those who have supported them during their transformation.



How many people in the world fit this description like these two women in my life. They need to be celebrated!

It made me THINK different. Thinking differently led me to BECOME a different person. When I became a different person, I started to ACT differently.

I used to always think of the negatives and only the negatives. "What's the reason this wouldn't work"? I made excuses and gave up at the first sign of adversity.

"As a man thinketh so is he."

 I knew I couldn't be better if I didn't think better. I started to spend time alone meditating. Getting to Know Myself and

connecting with God. I began to learn about manifestation, positive-thinking, affirmations and protecting my peace. 

My thinking changed how I saw myself. I realized "Anything is Possible." I started to view my job not as something "I had to do" but something "I get to do" in order to fund my dreams. Being grateful for the opportunities in front of me was huge also. Now it's time to start moving towards my purpose. So how can I become the MJ of this thing?? I needed to train. I had to learn about investing in myself, shedding those things and people that were hindering my progress. Self-evaluation was key; it was hard, painful, lonely, but necessary.
