I just realized that I qualify to tell my story literally minutes ago, it’s a stage in my thankfulness process that I forgot.

Five years ago my life was very, very different. I was living in Africa, I’ll omit the specific place for privacy, but my goodness, I always dreamt of traveling! There was a type of life I had dreamt about that was so different from the life I was living.

So I created a vision board. It seemed to me that it was a win-win situation because either The Secret was real and I would get what ever I desired, or it was wrong, in which case I’d at least be happy while I was wishing. I was happier either way.

My vision board was my free space. I added all the pleasures I could think of! I added New York, Las Vegas, Miami, San Francisco, Oakland, Europe, an insanely passionate love story, curly long hair, an expensive house with a pool, to get a diploma and to have lots of cash.

Now I just looked back today and realized that I got absolutely all of that and more! I don’t actually have lots of cash but I have good financial security! I also wished for a car but I am in a situation where public transportation is easier but I can definitely get one if I chose to. I feel like I was blessed in so many ways and I am just so thankful!

Keep your thoughts positive, believe in what you want, focus your thoughts, do your part and God really does the rest!!
