TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY


I was always taught to be Self-Sufficient, Independent, Self-Motivated and to NEVER depend on anyone to help me get to where I want to be in life. I'd like to say Thank You to my loving and self empowered mother for planting those seeds in my head at a very young age. When things are always given to you, you NEVER appreciate what you have. TRUTH! 

When I wanted a car, I got a job and I paid for it myself.  It's not that my family didn't have the money to get me a car, believe me, they had plenty. It was the fact that they knew I would get more enjoyment out of purchasing it MYSELF. It might not have been the newest, fastest and most luxurious car, but it was MINE. Instead of spending my hard earned cash on coach purses, I saved till I could afford a decent car. I was proud of myself for finally being able to do things FOR myself. 

And here I am now. Years later still improving myself and wanting a better life. When opportunity knocked I ignored it 3 times. Maybe it was my own ignorance getting in the way Or maybe it was my own fear. The fear of really owning something, maybe that's what made me block out the information a dear friend was trying to give me. A year later the opportunity had presented itself once again and this time it was delivered by an acquaintance. I took a moment and thought long and hard about my decision and then my mother's words rang so clear in my head. I finally got what she really meant all along. You control your life, your ups and your downs. Life wont wait for you to be prepared for it, you MUST be prepared for life.  

The questions that I was asked: (The reason why it finally clicked in my head)

If you continue to do what you've been doing, where do you see yourself financially in 5 years?

If something unforeseen were to happen to you or your family (lay-off, illness, injury, etc) how long can you survive on your savings?

Those questions scared me. I'm sure I could call a family member for help, but I was taught to do everything on my own. I refused to even think for a second that I'd go back on everything my mother instilled in me and ask someone for help. So, I opted for a Plan B and I'm so glad that I did.

I took what I thought was a huge risk by getting involved in a company that I had no clue about. I did some investigating on my own and found out that I missed out years ago on this amazing opportunity. Now that I'm involved my life has drastically changed. I'm no longer a slave to my alarm clock. I can control how much or little I work. I have the ability to work anywhere in the world as long as I have my laptop and my phone on me. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be sitting on a beach, drinking a cocktail while chatting with a friend on the phone than being a slave to my 9-5 job. I'm over it, the whole slave to a desk routine is something of the past. It's 2012, it's time to get involved in the wave of the future. It's here.... staring you right in the face.

All you have to do is decide if you want it. I made the right choice at the right time. You on the other hand might like getting up at 5:30am everyday for work or if you're a night shift person. You might actually enjoy living like a vampire. I on the other hand choose Freedom and the Sun :)
