I was recently interviewed on Instagram live by Realtor/Coach Devin DiNofa, extraordinaire and the one and only David Meltzer. If you do not know who David is, the movie Jerry McGuire was about him. I didn't get to tell him how amazing his story was and how much he inspired me, but the interview got me thinking about the role that taking massive action has played in my life.
As a child, I had a natural entrepreneurial spirit. I started selling flower arrangements door to door at just 8 years old. I found other ways to earn money at that young age, even if not entirely legal, due to a lack of parental guidance, LOL; my mom was young, single, and struggling.
I was always willing to work to achieve my goals. At 12, I had a paper route with my brother that serviced an entire hospital. I was already a good salesperson, and we did really well.
At 16, I landed my first job at a restaurant, and by age 21, I became a co-owner of a cafe with my then-boyfriend. However, my drug addiction took hold, causing me to spiral out of control. My turning point came when I became pregnant at 26. Uneducated, single, and broke, I had few options, so I channeled my energy into starting a catering company, which proved incredibly successful. From there, I pursued my real estate license, and my career took off.
My success in real estate came quickly because I worked hard.
Taking daily, massive action since I was a child got me through situations that most people would have never survived. The action was the key to unlocking results. As I honed my mindset and adopted a more positive attitude, I grew more disciplined and consistent in my work. These qualities gave me an unwavering sense of confidence and faith that, no matter what, I would succeed. Personally, I was still struggling, though. I had a failed marriage and another daughter to care for as a single Mom. In addition, I was drinking too much, insecure, and unhappy.
Later, I learned to control my mind and to be aware of my seat of consciousness through a daily meditation practice. This practice enabled a simple yet powerful combination of action, discipline, mindset, and consistency.
In my early 40's, I got purposeful. I began to apply this same combination to other areas of my life. I created a seven-year plan and put it into motion. I began to practice self-care. Much to my surprise, I had accomplished nearly everything on my list in just seven years, regardless of how insurmountable it initially seemed. I had discovered the power to manifest my dreams and become a magnet for abundance.
I used to have a distant relationship with God, but I came to understand that faith is about trusting the universe and your place in it. Then, as I opened myself to change, I found that miracles occurred when I embraced life's challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.
The bottom line is that you can shape your destiny through consistent, positive action. This, plus an unwavering faith in yourself and the knowledge that the universe wants to give you the essence of your desires.
