THINGS I WISH I KNEW 10 YEARS AGO...

Well stop everything!! Hold on .......

THINGS I WISH I KNEW 10 YEARS AGO! This could take a while. When I think about this chapter in our life so many hard life lessons and emotions start swirling. Fear, anger, hatred. This was during the period of my life where I felt a huge load on my shoulders.Strap in and let me take you on a ride my friend. I'm opening up a whole new can of worms......

THE FIGHTER...
Ten years ago....This was when we were still in stages of going through the adoption process. WHOA!! I wish I knew what I know now about the whole process. This was still the season for me when I had ZERO self confidence and no self belief in myself. Fast forward 12 years and that person has CHANGED!!. I WISH I KNEW THEN how strong I actually was and what I was capable of achieving. I look back at this season and I had so much anger at myself. I actually hated being me, resentment because nothing came EASY. Every little thing I felt I had to work that much more harder for than others. And now.....BRING IT ON. I take every challenge with strength and courage and FIGHT. With a new lesson learned every day.

LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY....
This would have been a huge game changer for me. Ten years ago I had no idea how to chase my goals or dreams, or even what to do with them!!. I didn't realize that every day you need to work on something that will bring you closer to your goal. Gaining the knowledge you need to move forward. I just kept listening to that voice saying I wasn't good enough or someone like me doesn't dream things like that! Now... after learning to love myself and it was possible to achieve all of my dreams, and focusing on my own education to continue to DREAM BIG....

THERE WAS MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT I WAS CONTINUALLY GOING THROUGH.
I guess when you are on a continuous cycle of struggling with health battles, you begin to think that this is your life and all there is going to be. I didn't realize that outside my normal there was a whole world of opportunities for me despite the hardships life was throwing at me. When I finally saw past my struggles, I started to understand who I was, what I was capable of achieving for myself and what it was I wanted to do in this life.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW..
Thinking back to who I was ten years ago. My comfort zone was my safe place and I never thought of stepping out of, does this resonate with you? Fast forward to now as I know myself so much better. It's something I strive to do EVERY SINGLE DAY. if you want to achieve something worthwhile and important you have to step out and walk a new path. Trying something new will bring you the success you want to build for yourself.

The truth, there is so much that I wish I knew 10 years ago. But you know what? This is the way life happened for me and I accept that and take pride in what I have achieved. How about you? wjhat is it you wish you knew 10 years ago. I would love for you to share... comment below  to share your thoughts. Can you relate to any of this ?
