Stepping Out on Faith

Personal experience:

A little over a year ago I decided to take my financial future into my own hands and become my own boss. To me it was an easy decision to make. I had my future in mind. I was tired of making other people rich and other people’s dreams come true. I was ready to make my own dreams come true. So I stepped out on faith.

Since I was little I always had what some people would call a wild imagination. But it was only my dreams. I wanted to live in the biggest house with the nicest car and the biggest yard. I wanted to vacation in the most exotic places and do the things where money was no object. But like most people I was told that I had to finish school, go to college, and get a job. So that’s what I did. I brushed all my dreams under the rug and became regular.

But being regular is not me. It’s not fun. It’s not an option. All through college I had my mind on my work and I also had my mind my dreams that were so quietly swept under the rug. I had got to the point where I was tired of the regular routine of life. I took it upon myself to get out of the regular.

I tried several opportunities that didn’t work. Then the discouragement set in. I was starting to think that I was made to be regular and boring, to live a boring non-fulfilling life. This went on for several years. Every so often my dreams will show up and try to come out. But I would just shove them back under the rug. I had accomplished graduating from college and now I had to find a job.

For years I had been looking and looking for a job in the field that I spend four and a half years in school studying. And believe it or not, until this day I have yet to find one. I graduated in 2008. During these years of looking those dreams never would die. Funny thing about our dreams is that they always have a way of coming back no matter how much we try to leave them or forget them.

After years of no job or low paying retail jobs I was TIRED. I was tired of fulfilling other people’s dreams and wearing myself out in the process. I wanted my own dreams to come true. And I knew nobody could make that happen but me. I had finally come to my breaking point and my point of clarity.

A couple years ago I came across a couple opportunities that would allow me to pursue my dreams and help others with theirs. I thought, “How awesome would it be to be my own boss to become financially free and help others in the process.” I decided to jump on these opportunities. And am I glad I ever did.

I am no longer feeling the pressure of a life of regularness. Yes, I know it’s not a word. LOL! Knowing everyday when I wake up I am working to make my dreams come true and to help someone else excites me. It takes me from regular to particular. There are not a lot of us that run with our dreams. Will you run with yours?

Will you be particular?
