Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear and Why I Made The Smart Choice To Be Courageous and Bold!
Why I made the choice to be courageous and bold and use my gifts to start my own amazing life changing empire? I want to help change other women’s lives like I was able to change my own life.
As a child growing up in west Philadelphia I had the most phenomenal childhood with some fabulous people. These people would be become my family.
When I graduated from high school I found myself lost in a forest filled with tall trees and could not see nor find my way out. I lived this way longer than I want to even think about. Eventually, I found my way out of the maze that had me all bound up.
When I found my path my steps were stilled and I continued living in bondage gripped by fear. I didn’t realize it at the time. The only one thing I knew to be a fact; I had no faith in God, no confidence in myself and I was fearful of everything.
I was scared to try anything. Afraid to speak up for myself, which meant, and this is beyond crazy, that if someone said things to me out of their ignorance because they saw or thought they saw weakness in me I would respond with what I thought they wanted to hear and not that which was true or how I really felt. This is how I lived for most of my adult life.
I also had a major problem saying no to people whenever they asked me for things. I would say yes when my heart was saying no. I’ve lived my life according to other people’s feelings. I found myself caring for others much more than I cared for myself.
Why I Decided To Open My Eyes and Never Close Them Again
They reason I decided to open my eyes and never close them again is because I chose to trust God.
After becoming caregivers to both my parents, after being horrifically disrespected by my siblings and after my mother transitioned from my home in 2017, (my father had gone home in 2001), my eyes were opened and I decided to be true to myself for the rest of my. I decided to step out of fear.
I made up my mind to, one: encourage myself every day and two: run my businesses for amazing success. Well, my focus was on helping other women and if I help other women I’ll be helping myself in a profound way.
Being Encouraged Helped Change My Life
Here’s a brief story about being encouraged.
Growing up, I had no one to encourage me and because no one ever encouraged me in my life and because I had to learn certain things on my own, I can honestly say my life has been forever transformed.
Now it took time for things in my life to get better. And while I’m still planting and growing seeds I am enjoying and embracing my journey.
There’s so much I have gleaned and I am sincerely grateful. One thing I can honestly say is that I have always tried to live a righteous life. Honesty is important to me. I am grateful and my intentions to help other women are real and pure.
I know what it’s like to be scared and unable to use what God has given us because fear steps in for whatever reason.
Trusting and having faith in God makes all the difference in the world. This is how I have been able to do what I do every day, but believe me when I tell you, it took time to deepen my faith because I didn’t know nor understand what faith meant. Once I learned the definition of faith I have been better and I no longer live in bondage.
I finally realized that fear did not belong in my life. Being fearful is a waste of time. That is when I decided to step out in faith, be courageous and bold and use all of the awesome gifts in addition to the reservoir of information God has bestowed upon me. My life has never been the same. I cannot say this enough.
I dropped fear off at the wayside and I kept moving trying hard not to look back. Did I pick up fear again. Sure. Of course I did. A few times. Fear had been a part of my life for so long that I just couldn’t seem to forget or let fear go completely.
And then one day I told myself it’s time to focus really hard on all the things I wanted to accomplish and let fear and all it’s components go once and for all. I did it. I have an ebook all about how I let fear go to alter my life just in case you’re interested.
Since then I’ve been doing all kinds of life loving , life changing things for me myself and why. Why. Because I know I can. I know all things are possible with God.
That’s when I decided to pickup my writing once again. I have written a host of books for women all around the globe because my goal is to simply inspire, uplift and encourage women who may need to be encouraged.
One of my sincerest prayers is to beautifully transform the minds and lives of women so that they, too, can lives prosperous and opulent lifestyles. I thought to myself now is the time to share all that I had written. I know/knew it was and will bless women from all paths of life.
So I wrote Treasures Inside You, B.U.I.L.D and Cynthia G. Boyer. You see for me being an entrepreneur isn’t about how much money I can make. For me it’s all about how many women and girls I can help, touch, warm and transform. I started so many blogs in my effort to achieve my goals. I was all over the map with my endeavors until God’s Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. He told me to organize my business decently and in order. I did. Order is significant trust me when I tell you.
I took my time and with patience I’ve been able to build my websites and blogs placing them under the umbrellas to where they all belong.
I am overjoyed that I recognize all of my faults and shortcomings. I saw the need for change in myself. Believe it or not I was impacting my own life in such a negative major way. I’ve learned some great things in my life after I made the choice to step out of fear.
On this awe-inspiring journey I have learned that I am phenomenal. Yes, I am. More importantly I have learned a lot about myself. I discovered, after a long exploration, that I am as powerful as can be. I not only have the power to get wealth, but I am wealth. I give away and share my wealth every chance I get.
I have learned that I am a creative being capable and able of doing all that is possible, of course with God’s hands and help.
I am in a completely different space in my life and there is light illuminating my every step which leads and guides me into the abundance and prosperity that have always been an enormous part of my life. These are all the reasons why I decided to step out of fear and into the life that I have been created to live.
I’m so thankful that I can see it all crystal clear and I live it every single day of my life. I give God all the glory.
Loving His plan and purpose for my life.
