Success
Action speak louder then words ! It is not was you say it is what you do.
The strategies that I am using today are geared towards a more successful tomorrow.
As part of my success I am investing in my self. I start to plan my future that I believed was gone due to my 264 months of imprisonment.
I am planning my future by setting long term goals and break them down into SMART goals .
S – Specific
M – Measurable
A – Achievable
R – Rewarding
T – Time bound
Success for me , in the past meant having a big house , being financially stability or holding a major professional title .
Recently I have thought about the legacy that I would like to leave behind. it is about the people that I was able to touch and help to over come some obstacles. Its about pushing myself to do and learn new things even when they are difficult.
One important strategies I utilize is taking the thinking error ” I CAN’T” from my vocabulary.
“I CAN’T “- thinking you are unable to tolerate something unwanted or uncomfortable situation.
“I cant ” used to control my life , negatively I use to tell my self that I cant write in English (look at me now ) ,I cant lose weight (just lost 30 LB ) , I cant walk a mile a day (walked 5-7 miles a day) , I cant run ( I ran 1/2 a mile a day ) .
Today I know that I can do any thing that I set my mind an my heart into . I just need to plan , and not give up.
Even though 2025 already started I am working on my release plan , adjusting it and setting SMART goals .
It is NEVER too late !
” Traumas are not signs of failure but success and mistakes are lessons , not life sentence “.
