Against All Odds, You Can Rise!

You have overcome some bad times, haven’t you?

You have faced horrid circumstances and you have wondered if you would make it through…

And yet, here you are, walking forward…

A little bruised perhaps…

A little shaken…

And maybe even, a little bit broken inside…

And yet, you rose and you kept moving forward.

Honey, you are stronger than you think and more capable then you think.

But there is a problem…

You feel stuck in place…

You have certainly overcome a lot but that now causes you to be wary of moving forward into the unknown…

But you want more than this current life experience and so, in order to get it, you KNOW you are going to have to venture away from the known trail…

You have to get on the narrow path and that looks dark and uncertain and you are not sure that you can do that… NOT AGAIN!

Your youthful bravado is fading fast…

Life has simply been too tough…

But you still want more…

And you know that you are born for more…

Abundance is crying out to you and somehow you know that you will not find it here on the sidewalk…

So, what can you do?

I have been through my fair share of trials…

And I know how fabulous it felt to reach what I thought was the promised land…

I was FINALLY a pharmacist…

I had FINALLY overcome the craziness of my past…

I had managed to stay at school against overwhelming odds…

I even had managed to marry an awesome loving dude in the middle of all the tribulations…

I was supposed to be THERE!

And yet, I had climbed the wrong mountain…

And I wanted to be on the one way over in the distance, not this one…

This mountain of everyone else’s agenda did not fill my heart with the hoped-for feelings of fulfilment and freedom…

I felt stuck though because it had taken such a long time to get here…

And ‘here’ was the practical thing to do…

‘HERE’ was the practical place to stay…

‘HERE’ was killing my soul though…

Just as your version of ‘here’ is doing to you…

And unlike many who learn to live with the internal deadening, you cannot.

It leads to depression, anxiety and many other mind ailments because you are fighting your very own nature and you cannot win that battle.

You may as well surrender right now…

And remind yourself that you are THAT person who triumphs and rises despite overwhelming odds.

Don’t you know yet that the worst battle you face is the one between your ears?

Don’t you know yet that nothing can really overcome you, unless you lay down and let it?

Yes it is scary…

To leave this mountain that you have finally arrived at…

To get off and go do something different when it took so long to build this life…

And yet, I would suggest that you do not wait until your own spirit gets fed up of waiting for you to move willingly and instead causes you to self-sabotage your very blessed self…

That happened to me…

Bankruptcy…

Depression…

Until finally, I surrendered and pursued my real purpose…

Though I still took a sideways turn as I went into real estate because I thought that seemed more reasonable but it was not the thing I was called to do.

And I knew it.

I wisely got off the mountain myself this time though I still made a mess of it when I left…

That side ways route served a purpose and got me free of the pharmacist job but it was not what my whole life was to be about and so I had to start again, AGAIN!

And AGAIN

AND AGAIN

As I kept trying to take more reasonable routes…

Because I did not trust that my calling would keep me going…

And so, I made it so by not trusting that I could live out the calling on my life and still be taken care of…

And finally, I truly surrendered…

Owned the fact that despite many, MANY odds, I had remained standing…

Nothing had completely killed me off…

And so I could learn to trust the calling on my life and just choose to wake up to living it out boldly!

And so here we are.

Singing, speaking, writing, inviting…

That is it.

All I do daily to live out the calling on my life…

Things that I was told were not practical…

And yet these are things that make my heart and soul sing…

And allow me to serve the people I feel called to serve…

Project 334k happens because I simply do what I am called to do.

334000 people worldwide achieving financial independence, living free lives and making a dent on the planet — My calling.

What is yours?

What do you really want your life to be about?

And what are you telling yourself, is impractical?

Honey, you have overcome incredible odds and still you stand…

The narrow path to your true destiny will not defeat you.

Choose you this day to serve the call on your life, will ya?
