I am on a success journey that I have been on since January 2015 when I made a decision to become a better version of myself. I was broke and lonely. I made a decision to change my life which was a positive first step.
I had been praying for marriage and money for the longest time and as 2014 ended I had neither. Needless to say, I had prayed and fasted to a point when one day my throat literally closed when I tried to eat an orange after a 3 day dry fast, I screamed until it opened up. Stupidity is defined by Isaac Newton as “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”. My journey started with a lot of soul searching and being definite about what I really wanted.
I was coming from a Pentecostal background of push till you get an answer, so as I banged and banged on heaven’s door for answers, God told me that I had to have a purpose in life and everything else will be added unto me. God told me I was not the kind of girl who was born to be somebody’s trophy wife, he told me that I was a world changer. God basically told me to stop being a brat about marriage and begin to discover what I was born to do.
The journey of discovering my purpose has been fun and wonderful. I identified these 5 pillars of success; spirit, body, mind, business and people. I developed strategies for each by way of a vision board. And today I am in a happy space as I discover what I was born to do.
I am strategic about everything I do. For example in 2016 when I asked a piece of a decadent chocolate cake with lots of sugar what it was going to do for my body and it told me it was going to kill me I threw it away and stopped eating sugar for life. I watch what I feed my mind with. I am careful about who I spend my time with. I am happy to report that I have a new purposeful life and it’s a good one, I have not prayed for money and marriage in a long time. Now in my prayers I seek the presence of the Lord, somehow my prayer request list is no longer of importance. I am grateful, happy, still single and not yet in the cover of Forbes magazine.
