Life Lessons With Coach Destiny

Sometime the hardest thing for a person to do is to look in the mirror. I'm not talking the mirror that you have on your bathroom wall but the mirror that reflects the truth of who you are. I heard this song from lil wayne it encouraged me to take a good look in the mirror to see who you really are and what you want from your life. At times we get so caught up in trying to be what others think us to be or what they want us to be. So,  this is my challenge to you take a DEEP look in the mirror, tell what do you see?

I was watching a sermon by T.D Jakes about a month ago on how in order for us to live out the calling that GOD has placed on our lives that we have to let go of some the baggage that's holding us back. From that sermon I picked up on 4 essential bags that I think that majority of people are holding on to but need to LET GO ... 1. SIN : Whether they be past sins or present sins, we all have sinned and fallen short but we can't allow ourselves to become slaves to those past mistakes. Ask forgiveness from your higher power, ask forgiveness of the people that you may have hurt and lastly forgive yourself. 2. GUILT: This one bag alone can strangle  the life out of you if you let it. We all at one point or another pick up the guilt bag,  the things that you wish you hadn't done or said but you did anyway. I carried my guilt with me and through life kept putting more into it until one day it almost took me out. That's when I decided to get rid of this bag, we are not pe

Sometimes I close my eyes and wonder exactly what my life would be like if all my dreams instantly came true.

I want to be an  Director of my own non profit,  a author, a motivational speaker,a life counselor, a mother, and a wife. But most importantly I just want to find lasting joy. i don't know why I can't overcome these fears I mean almost died before my 18th birthday having a second chance at life should have catapulted me into living my dreams without fear but it did the opposite.  Every since my mom died I have taken so much upon myself and I haven't been able to release the myself from it but I am ready now. I have to because I can't continue to live in the shadows of my own dreams. Don't get  me twisted I have accomplis

Most people even those who are closest to me don’t know that I almost died before my eighteenth birthday actually it was about a week before spring break of my senior year. I don’t talk about it much but it was the event that I believed shaped my adult hood and not totally in a good way. Since, that day I have lived with constant nightmares of that night, that week, that entire two years of my life afterwards. So, in order to truly move pass it , if you don’t mind I have to take you through it, I remember that day vividly I had a cold but I went through an entire day at school and although I felt sluggish it was business as usual. I remember coming home hanging with my siblings and my father, then I went upstairs to my room. I got sicker and it felt like a regular asthma attack and then I made my way downstairs and it got worse. The last things I remember from that night, I went down stairs to get my dad and I remember fighting for air, the last thing I said before I passed out was
