Have you ever yearned for something so deeply yet found it elusive? The ache of unfulfilled desires can be disheartening, even demoralizing. But from my own journey, I've learned that life often tests the strength of our desires. It challenges us to see if we're willing to endure and persevere.
Consider this: In 2020, I stumbled upon a practice that revealed my deepest desires. The exercise involved jotting down ten daily goals without referencing the previous day's list. Starting on May 30, 2020, I faithfully recorded my aspirations until June 23, 2020. Among those daily inscriptions was a powerful proclamation: ‘𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡'. The desire for certification burned within me, yet financial constraints kept it out of reach.
Although I ceased the daily ritual in 2020, the desire persisted, becoming an unwavering goal in the following years. Fast forward to May 2023, a pivotal moment entered my life. After a heart-to-heart conversation, a remarkable individual declared, ‘𝙀𝙅, 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙤. 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙝.' I shared my long-standing goal of being certified as a coach, and she responded with unexpected generosity, pledging financial support for my business.
A few days later, true to her word, she fulfilled her promise with a monetary gift. Suprisingly, the amount matched the exact sum needed for my ICF Certification. At the time, debts and bills loomed, and I was torn between paying my debt or paying for my program. The purpose behind the gift was clear—to support my business. And so, with gratitude in my heart, I chose to invest in myself. The funds went towards registering for my CLC program.
Twenty-four weeks of dedication and learning later, I emerged as a certified Life and Transformational Coach. The journey wasn't without challenges, but it was a testament to the power of unwavering belief and persistence.
Why share this story? I did to encourage you. If there's a goal on your list that has persisted for years, it's because your soul recognizes your capacity to achieve it. Don't give up. Keep believing, working, and trusting that, in due time, your aspirations will manifest.
Today, I say to you, your time will come. Keep refining yourself—grow, learn, unlearn, and relearn. Fine-tune your mind, prepare for the answers you seek, and watch as the universe aligns in your favor.”
