Unlocking Your Destiny...

There was a time in my life where I felt utterly lost.  I just couldn't seem to get myself on the right track and I believed I was a loser.  Most of my friends had great jobs, were getting married in exotic locations, having children, and living lives I desperately envied.  I kept thinking that something was wrong with me and I was a failure.  After all, I went to a great college, graduated from law school and was living in New York City.  What gives?

In my early 30s, I started reading self help books and came away with a new understanding.  I was constantly comparing myself to other people and in doing so, I was causing myself great heartache.  I started to realize that there is only one me and that it was up to me to create the life that I wanted.  I didn't have to envy others and have the same things they had.  GOD had created only one Precious Williams and I was to be unlike any other person in history.

At first, I was hesitant to make any real decisions or changes in my life.  It wasn't that I was comfortable with where I was, it was just that I was frightened with the thought that what if I tried new things and failed.  Then, I considered that I was not getting any younger and that NOW is the only time that mattered.  Not yesterday, not the future, but NOW.  NOW, I can change my life for the better.  NOW, I could be the women I always knew that I could be.  NOW, I was getting my mojo back!!!

Can I tell you how freeing it is to live life on my terms?  I awakened from my slumber and had a vision for my life that I never had before.  I had a boldness and fire within that made me a force to be reckoned with in the world.  I started writing this blog.  I became an an entrepreneur.  There was nothing that was not within my grasp.

Unlocking your destiny begins with your willingness to start anew.  The key is to to dream big and to think on a level that most people cannot even handle.  The comparisons with others or even celebrities has to stop immediately.  You are you and you are wonderfully made as you are.  Just as there is one Oprah, Beyonce, Queen Latifah and Hillary Clinton, there is only one you!!!

The greatest gift I have had on this journey is learning how to love myself, thoroughly and completely.  The more I put myself and my talents in the world, the more love I am getting back in return.  Unlocking my destiny began with a willingness to be a better me.  You can do this too.

Unlock your destiny...your future begins today...
