Manifesting your dreams

Hello. My name is Lindsey. I never graduated college and I don't even manage or own a business. I'm a single mom who has taken on the endeavor of homeschooling her kids. I have a part time job. So how is someone like me supposed to know anything about manifesting dreams? Well, it's because I'm somebody who's got a PhD in the school of hard knocks.I could literally write a book and entitle it, "what NOT to do if you want to acheive success." You see, I have life experience...AND I have learned and grown because of it. If you read my profile, you'll see that I say, "I am living proof that someone can hit rock bottom, more than once, and pick themselves up. Two years ago, I checked myself into rehab for addiction to methamphetamine.

That was my second rock-bottom.

The last two years, I have worked at improving me in every way. I won't lie, I still have a long journey, but I am proud of how far I have come. I'm a good mother. A trustworthy daughter. A true friend. A hard worker. A devout Christian. Today, I have embarked on a journey I know is going to change my life. I realize it may not happen tomorrow or even in a couple months, but it IS going to happen. You see, a huge part of manifesting your dreams starts with what you believe. What you think. What you tell yourself about yourself and the world around you. If you believe your current circumstances, or your past, or what others have done to you are preventing you from acheiving your goals, you will manifest the same dysfunctional cycles over and over again until you learn you have more power than you think you do. Can I be really honest here? I'm going to take that chance. I have always been a big believer in God, but only within the last two years have I really begun to find my identity in Him. Only in the last two years have I really started BELIEVING differently. I believe God is a lot cooler than most give Him credit for and that He gives us more power over our lives than we even realize we have. And I believe He lead me here.Want me to get real?

Good.

I no longer blame my parents, ex-husbands, ex-friends, drug dealers I hung out with, or or anyone else for why I went down the road I did. I no longer sulk for hours because my life wasn't fair and "these people did this,' and "those people did that." Did people do some crappy stuff to me? They absolutely did. Did some things happen that were completely unjust? I could write a book on that too! But you know what? I've done some pretty crappy stuff to others. I've been unfair. And I've been forgiven. And I've learned that letting go of past offenses does wonders for your future. It's challenging sometimes, but necessary. One of the most helpful things I ever read about forgiveness was this: "Forgiveness isn't saying what the other person did to you was okay. In fact, it's saying that what they did was so NOT okay, you're not going to focus on it and allow the hurt to shape your identity." That resonated with me.

I hope tonight that I can encourage others on the way, too. Life can be hard, but thank God we're not alone!!

Please feel free to follow me and get to know me! I am here to make friends as well as learn, grow, and acheive my wildest dreams! If I can help you along the way, I want to.

God bless,

*Lindsey*

A Truly Relating Story here Lindsay.
In fact my first ever website was about changing the cycle.

I believe there are many of us with a greater purpose to do some good works for God. As this line of communication is in the Book of Rev:) and I also believe the internet is the finder of the 144 thousand:) as described.

Peace and Power to you friend.

Can't wait to see you fly
Rob

Rob thank you!! That's very interesting about the Book of Revelation and the 144.000. I have always wondered about that!! I have had visions of Jesus returning over the last few years. I don't feel like mere words adequately describe what it will be like in HIs presence.

I truly appreciate your kind words and encouragment. I can't wait to get it all set up and figure out exactly what I am doing. I know God is moving big time right now in people's lives!! It's cool to watch it all unfold.

I think its cooler to be INVOLVED:)! inside those folds. So much is unfolding in front of me right now it Almost overwhelming.

WOW. I am one to be intrigued of your dreams! > ? as it is also a written lol.

Hit me up anytime if I can be of service in you journey Lindsey.

Much Love

Life has its ups and downs Lindsey. Sometimes the most pleasant results come not from up but going sideways! Welcome aboard!

Well said Lindsey. Your journey sounds like it's been very tough. But I love the attitude you have gained because of it. The journey of creating a successful business is very hard as well. But you have a proven history of overcoming challenges. So I know you will eventually succeed here as well. Either way you'll have the support of this community.

Welcome to wealthy affiliate Lindsey, looks like you are ready to start that new chapter in your life, coming to WA will equip you with the skills to create that online presence and business.

You have been on a journey and congratulations on working it through.

Our past is that and hopefully, it doesn't define our futures.

Best wishes and enjoy your journey.

Wow! Very encouraging and powerful read! Thank you for sharing your story! You will definitely do great things and help lots of people!

All the best!

Hi Lindsey. This is a fantastic first blog post here. If the content you create for your site is as good as this then I have no doubt that you will achieve your dreams sooner than you think.
You clearly have a lot of life experience and sharing that and showing others what you’ve come through will build powerful bonds.
Good luck with your business 🙂

Thank you SO MUCH for that!! I really love to write and I also REALLY love to inspire others and give them hope. That's something I absolutely LOVE about this website. Everyone is super helpful and encouraging. It creates an atmosphere of success!! God bless!!

You're very welcome Lindsey. Your blog post is actually the second one in the past week that has really moved me.

There are a lot of blog posts here on WA every day and most of them are mediocre at best. Don't get me wrong - I admire almost every one of them for the effort that has gone in to producing them. But generally they offer little value and are hard to read.

Your post on the other hand was a brilliantly written and engaging read which had me hooked from the start. You are clearly a talented writer and your life experiences will resonate with a lot of people.

I'm already looking forward to your next post!

thank you Lindsey for sharing your story you are strong women , i wish you all the best and success in your life

kinds regards

Fatima

Wow! Lindsey, you are strong.
You have the right attitude and mindset now which is very healthy.
I like your saying you are somebody who's got a PhD in the school of hard knocks ... awesome and confident.
And the one, "I'm going to take that chance" ... action taker.
Well, keep it up and your future will be very bright.
All the best to you, Lindsey, and may God bless you and your loved ones. Cheers.

Lindsey, thanks for sharing. Mahatma Gandhi once said,

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever”

I worked for 2 very successful entrepreneurs who built billion dollar businesses, One was a drop out, but a smart one from Ivy League university, the other a migrant with primary education.

So, you can be successful. I leave you with the following quote...

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world”

Stanley, thank you for sharing! I was hoping to find a mentor, but then I came across this site and it looks like I may have found several. That prospect makes me feel very excited! And who knows? Maybe one day you and I can mentor someone on here! That would be pretty cool! How long have you been with Wealthy Affiliate?

2nd month... yes, lots of members with great and unique experiences here...
