YOU have a PURPOSE...
I would like to bring the conversation to a more serious note for this blog post. I have been having battles with myself about where my life is heading and if I'm happy with how things are going for me at this point. I can honestly say I'm not 100% happy with what I do now and I say this because I know God has bigger and better plans for me. There has been many doors shut in my face and I never really understood why because I know my capabilities and I know I'm talented at anything I put my heart and mind to. It took for me to actually meet a certain person and take a look at how I saw so much of myself in him to realize I was doing all the wrong things. I prayed and prayed and God finally gave me the answers as to why I'm in the posisiton that I'm in now in life and my career. I was blind to what He placed directly in front of me. I turned down opportunities because I just thought I knew it all. After praying about my situation one night and then dreaming about it, I KNOW SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS is only 1 step away..I want u guys to think about whatever it is in life that makes you happy and fulfills your lifelong dream and tell me what have you done to reach that goal. God places things and/or people in our lives for a reason so what or who is your motivation...Say what's real

This is a topic that really hits very close to home for me. People who are close to me and know my story, know that I have been through a lot in my life, starting early in my childhood. I have always been gifted academically and excelled in school. I knew that I was going to go to college when I was in middle school, it was just a matter of figuring out what I was going to go for. Having grown up in a large family, with poverty all around me, I soon learned that the only way out was to get an education and a career. My junior year in high school, I took a psychology course and was hooked; its now my passion. I went on to get my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from East Carolina University.
ReplyDeleteSince then, I have been faced with much adversity. I went to graduate school for one semester at a private university in Atlanta, GA without so much as a place to live once I got there. To say that I was stepping out on faith is an understatement: it was a leap. God touched the heart of one of my classmates and she took me in when my cousin would not. At one point, I had three jobs while also going to school. When I had to, I walked to work and school. However, my tenacity was not enough. I could not afford the tuition and was forced to move back home to Fayetteville in April. I was devastated to say the least. I felt as though my life was falling apart and my dream of becoming a Doctor of Clinical Psychology was fading along with it. Like many people, I was unemployed for a few months. I practically lived at the unemployment office. After applying for countless jobs from clerical posions to banks to furniture stores to even bars, I made the decision to get another job in retail in July. I didnt see how or when I was going to be able to finish getting my master's degree. I definitely wasnt making enough money at Charlotte Russe to live let alone save money. I fell in a major state of depression. I am so happy to say that Monday, God blessed me with a good paying job with benefits. I will be able to begin to save money and plan to apply to UNC-Charlotte next fall. As Danyelle stated God does everything for a reason. Of course I often question things and wonder why things cant just go as I plan. But I am learning that its not my plan that matters. It's His.
My motivation is my own will and determination to succeed. I often tell myself that failure is not an option, and it truly isnt. I have to make it. And one day, I WILL be Dr. Burns PhD., so help me God.

wow^^^ that story is really inspiring.. Im not going to say much, but i will say this.. everything happens for a reason. situations, people, places all these things come into our lives for a reason.. we are not the ultimate in those situations. whether it be good or bad if we put our trust in the almighty, then we will be ok. whatever your dreams and desires are.. if you strive for it, with determination, dedication, Education, and end it with action there is no dream or goal too big. stay blessed. peace and love--Klash
