There's more to life...

Something became vividly clear to me while sitting at Starbucks…it’s really not about me. Never has been, never will be. With or without me, the Earth and the contents therein will continue to turn. I was a functioning idiot up until the age of 21. It was my way, the highway or we can square up. Real talk. If I lied to you (shrugging shoulders), I lied to you. If you said something I didn’t like, a confrontation came with it. My heart was good, but it was also selfish. Then….life hit me. I believe that there are only a handful of individuals my age that know what Rock Bottom looks like. If you do, and you made it out alive, I know your heart just skipped a beat two times over when you read those words. Rock Bottom gave me knowledge that I couldn’t acquire anywhere else. It felt like it was the place where everything I had done in my past was waiting to get “reacquainted” with me. It’s the place where everything that I had been running from, as Jeezy puts it, “was gaining on my a**.” All at once. The place where I met Karma face to face and knew it was for real. Rock Bottom is that place where all those things I THOUGHT I was, stared me down and let me know, “you ain’t sh*t!” It’s that place where I laid all my facades down, next to my screwed up morals. It’s that place where regardless of what people did to me, I vowed I wouldn’t do the same thing to them. I went in a spoiled little girl and came out a grown a** woman. It’s that place where I stopped judging people, because just as many fingers that I point at others, are pointing back at me. Rock Bottom is the place where I learned to be honest, just for the sake of being honest. I learned that karma does not discriminate and there is no respect of persons. It all catches up with all of us in the end. It’s that place where I learned that it’s more to life than just wearing the letters and who knows my name. Rock Bottom was that place where I learned that my God deserved more time and effort than my relationship with any single human being on this Earth. I was wrong before I went there. So wrong. It’s really not about me. Really it’s not. I’m a real individual, but I had to die to myself before I could become who I am today. Today I’m committed to a cause and a purpose that’s much larger than myself. Down there I realized one thing…that it all catches up with you in the end. And it became vividly clear to me…that it’s really not about me. Never has been never will be. Don’t be like me and have to hit Rock Bottom before you realize that…

An advocate for real change…motivating you from the inside out.

Welcome to my world…everyday will be a different day. No two days will be the same. I hope to motivate you, to become your own change. This entry is dedicated to my 22 Founders who realized many decades ago that individual selfishness will not get you world wide change. See you tomorrow…
