like I was hungry.
People often want to call me that exception like Oh my God, you're the exception.
No, I'm not the exception.
I'm a average ordinary woman who chose every day to make one more extraordinary decision.
I just was crazy enough to believe that that it doesn't matter.
The color of my skin doesn't matter.
My religious background doesn't matter my origin.
It doesn't matter.
My mom's bank account.
My dad's been come when I was born.
None of that means my future.
That's just the circumstance that I came from.
That's not what defines my future.
I just believe that not a lot validated it.
But faith is believing in the unseen anyway, So I had enough faith to go.
I know like I know, like I know, like I know I don't necessarily have to see it yet.
Let me tell you, in orderto have something different, you are going to have to do something different in order, have something more.
You have to do something you haven't done yet.
I have to say the things I didn't want to say.
Do the things I didn't feel like doing that have the life I know I wanted period, period, and all I did was give instructions for here.
Do this bite size.
Do this bite size?
Do this bite size, bite sized, digestible, palatable pieces of what you could dio when you look up and you don't have to have a magnificent change over 12 months have a small change over 30 days, and the small change over 30 days your breakthrough comes will come in.
Needle point moves on you.
Look up, look up in five years and not recognize your life.
Refusing to listen to the negative shatter my own head, refusing to listen to other people's perception of me creating something from absolutely nothing.
So I got you know, there's the books.
There's the TV, there's all that stuff.
But my biggest accomplishment is being willing to give myself 1002nd chances.
And every time I got to 1999 I press reset.
Yeah, I didn't ask permission.
I gave notice a some point.
I have to stop asking.
Can I be great?
Can I be brilliant?
Can I be okay and still be accepted?
I just stop asking permission and just gave notice unapologetically not in a brighter doses way, not in a way that shrunk anyone else.
In a way that said, I only got one life.
I'm arrived.
This one to the wheels fall off.
And then all the other stuff came as a result of a decision I made right?
But it was a decision.
It was a decision.
But it was and it didn't come from, you know, a motivational experience.
It didn't come from an inspiring teacher.
It came from hitting rock bottom.
