I've been caught in, yet another crossroads. Uncertain of my next move, I analyze my life and what will bring me the most happiness. It seems taking a subtle approach is best. I have always chased my dreams. "If an opportunity doesn't knock, I build a door."

But what's the bigger picture?

Things have changed since I first branched out into the industry. I had so much fire and passion. I knew and still know that I am unstoppable. Problem is, why do I tend to get in my own way? Too much time on my hands leads to uncontrollable thoughts about my life and where I'm heading.

I am no long 17 years old, fresh out of high school. I am a 25 year old woman trying to build a foundation for myself. I know that my life is great. I know I have been blessed with wonderful friends and family. I don't take what I have for granted! But I do want to be sure I continue heading in the right direction.

Should I continue down this same path, slowly inching closer and closer, but end up with the same results?...or...Should I take a step back, master my God given abilities and take three steps forward? After fighting with myself, the answer is obvious now. I need to take a step back and work on ME. That is the only way I'll be happy and make something of myself.

I have thrived on the excitement of not knowing what's next, taking risks most people wont, but it's time to build a routine that will lead to greatness.

Life is about change and growth. I don't want to live with regrets or hold myself back from being the best that I can truly be. I may not be rich financially, but I'm rich in life and I thank the Lord for guiding me and protecting me. Every day is a blessing and a chance to love even harder, grow as a person and do something greater than you did yesterday.
