Have You Followed Your Dreams Lately?

I think my family has been through some crazy times here lately. Or the craziness is really just a thing of the past. Sometimes you have those who like to leave their hand on the stove until it's too hot for them to keep it there any longer. Sometimes that final intensity of the heat makes you think, damn I'm too old for this mess. I got to do something different. That's what made my sister (shown above) want to start her own business. She's always been creative. Very talented. She can look at anything and draw it, raps, sing, and is just business minded period. She's never been the one who likes to work for others. So when she said she was opening her own business and selling herbal soaps and etc, I was ecstatic about it. I can say that's how I got started in writing as well. Not necessarily exactly the same way, but let's just say I left my hand on the stove while I figured I should just write a story about this drama instead. I didn't all the way channel the negative energy directly into that at first. And when I say channel I mean, when you come across anger, it has to come out in some way. Whether you drink it out, smoke it out, fight it out, talk it out, whatever the case may be. It's got to come out. I use to be the type that would verbally and physically fight with you when I'm angry. And I also was the type that held it all in until I exploded and when I did it wasn't really pretty all the time. But that one time, that ONE TIME, I felt like I couldn't do either anymore. I was at an all time low. I had to get it out. I was always good at writing so why not take my situation, turn it into a story that I can control the outcome in and get it out that way? That's how Aint That a Bitch was born. Then later on, it got picked up, like years later. The name has been changed to He Doesn't Deserve My Love and it will now be in all stores as of May 30th of this year. Including Wal-Mart.

Just to think that the one who broken my heart and left me in pieces influenced me to pick up a pen. Now that entailed me to go after my dreams and become an author. It's not a get rich quick scheme either. You have to really know the business, your game, your brand, dedicate your time,and just keep writing. That's really with anything you are trying to do especially if you WANT TO DO IT. But the key word is never give up and don't set limitations over yourself or allow anybody else to speak limits over you. WE ARE CREATORS so we create the world we live in. I'm no longer that girl I was when I first picked up a pen and began to write. I was 24 years old then. That was 10 years ago and I've evolved a lot since. I've repeated many of the same mistakes I was making then during my "growing" era as well but hey that's life. You still don't ever allow anybody to speak limits over you. Still don't allow anybody to speak death over your dreams. CAn't stop them from doing it but you definitely can decide whether or not you want to believe it or not. I choose not to and I keep going. Keep fighting for what you want. And never give up. Those who tell you otherwise either gave up on their dreams for one reason or another. They didn't' have enough faith and courage in themselves to do what you are setting out to do.

One thing I want to share though is I read this book called the Secret, and although I strayed away from it sometimes, I love that book. It's so positive and helps you retrain your way of thinking. Cause if you think about it, with us being creators, we created alot of things that we are going through right now. Just speak life over yourself and into situations you are in and stop entertaining the negative. Do it for thirty days and see how much of a difference you have made an impact on yourself and in your life. I just recommend you get the book altogether. The whole Secret series. It's AMAZING!
