A Dream Come True
LIVING MY DREAM & MAKING LOTS OF GREEN!
I'm beyond thrilled to write my 1st of many blogs in this amazing community! Officially living my dreams now & it feels absolutely awesome. Being big on research, I've invested a lot of my time in finding the best place for me to learn ways to build my online businesses & am very grateful to have found what I was looking for.
It's extra cool for me to be able to learn from everyone & contribute to everyone's success in whatever ways possible. IMHO there is no such thing as competition in business (I know it may sound cray), as there is enough space & resources for everyone to win.
I've always dreamed of being able to be a successful business owner so that I could manage my time, talent, and money in ways that work well for me & my family. It's very important for me to be able to offer opportunities to loved ones & show everyone interested how to live their dreams.
I find it interesting that a shift in perspective can be exactly what is needed to make the major life changes that many of us want. I'm looking forward to being one of the voices that inspire folk to look within, listen to their heart, and access/utilize the information necessary to be a rock star in their lives!
FROM RESENTFUL TO JOYFUL
After living a life full of resentment that could've been justified by the ongoing discrimination I face(d), I decided to learn how to deal with unfair treatment in ways that are kind to myself & the person who is being condescending. The natural human responses to being treated in an unkind way are to fight, run, and/or fawn. None of these methods yielded the results I wanted, so I've learned to use what I consider the superhuman method.
Now I speak up & stand up for myself with peace & simply notice when folk are confused about my human rights. When folk are confused about me sharing the same rights they are demanding from me, they usually begin an emotional war & I've learned to choose not to enter it. Instead, I keep my energy pleasant & mind focused on who I am so that I guarantee that I don't become the fighter they are consciously or (often) unconsciously trying to get me to be.
Living in a world of sexism, ageism, racism, colorism, homophobia, and classism can be a challenge for many of us. I'm looking forward to providing solutions to the unavoidable inner conflicts that biased treatment can bring up in both the person who is being condescending & the person who is being underestimated.
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF PEACE?
The search for inner peace led me to observe everyday human interactions & notice the common goal of ego gratification instead of fairness. I also noticed people relying on negative energy to get their way. Not only was it eye-opening to understand people with whom I interact with, but I was able to recognize the awful habit & subconscious belief I shared with folk who turned mean when (seemingly or actually) mistreated. This led me to examine my belief system & change it to what I intended for it to be.
Currently, my belief system is rooted in the idea that I deserve to be peaceful. Even (& especially) when I make a mistake, I deserve to maintain a high level of peace. When people I'm interacting with make a mistake, they also deserve to maintain their peace & I no longer think I have a "right to turn up" if there mistake means I don't get my way.
When people discriminate they are making a mistake. Weather it is on purpose or not, it is a mistake to believe that another person is inferior in any way. We have all been brainwashed to believe that some of us have more rights than others & that some of us automatically deserve respect, admiration, and the benefit of the doubt. We've all been effected one way or another by the imposed beliefs of what beauty is & that if you aren't rich you aren't worthy.
So instead of continuing to be emotionally effected by a sick world, I learned how to understand the brainwashing & focus on empathizing instead of taking the B.S. personally. The journey to a peaceful outlook wasn't easy & although I know we all have our own dues to pay, I hope to be able to help people make choices that eliminate habitual self-made suffering.
When generating & maintaining a high level of positive energy is the goal, I tend to make decisions that work out well. It also enables me to be more patient with people who clearly don't know how to keep the good vibes flowing. It was once a dream of mine to be able to be myself in a world that views me as a 2nd class citizen. I wanted to be able to be confident that I am a beautiful human when (sometimes) I'm treated like a dumb, illegal, ugly, invisible, emotionally unstable girl who is in constant need of someone's help. And it worked! It's no longer a dream to be liberated, because I made it my reality!
It's an honor to be on this journey with you all. I sincerely look forward to connecting with the folk here who are committed to spreading positive vibes & sharing great opportunities to everyone in our global community.

As a salesman one of the life lessons I learned is I do much better promoting my product if I imagen that I have accomplished my goal.
