My truth that I have decided to share. As you can see in the photos, both were taken in two different times of my life, which is only 6 years apart. That woman on the left was so unhappy with her life. She used to look in the mirror at herself with such disgust that it caused her to cry on a regular basis. The biggest issue that existed was not what was seen by the eye, it was internal. Outside looking in, anyone would think that she was happy with a great life, marriage, and family. However, that was far from the truth. That woman on the left was depressed, abused, and struggling everyday to live. The only thing she had to live for, and that kept her going, was her kids and her dreams. One day, she finally decided that enough was enough. She had finally chosen herself.
Excerpt from The Alchemist mentioned that the world’s greatest lie is that “A certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate”. You decide what part is the lie. For me, my life has not been controlled by fate, I’ve decided to control my fate by what has been instilled in me through my dreams. So when you look at that woman on the right, she took control over what was happening to her. She decided that she would not be a victim of circumstances and lie down for people to run over her. She is chasing her dreams and making them a reality. She was asked recently, “Are you really that happy?” To answer that question, “Yes, absolutely!” Because she overcame a struggle that not many know of. She fought for herself. She found herself and continues to grow every single day. She discovered the love that she was missing, which was self-love. She is living on her own terms and nothing less! That woman on the right is fearless, strong, and carefree! She has found her happiness. She now looks in the mirror and softly states to herself, “Damn girl you fine, you have truly glowed up! You go girl!”
With me sharing this, I want you to look at your life right now and decide are you happy. What can you do today to make it better? This life is given to us to live it to the fullest! Not to settle for the bare minimum. So if you’re living just to live, you are living the greatest lie. Don’t lose control of what’s happening to you. Take control of your life today because you control your fate.
Blessings, love, and positivity
