There was a time in my life when I worked two jobs for three years; a full time day job from 8am – 5pm and a part time night job from 6pm – 1am. Day in and day out, working to make the ends meet because I was living above my means.
During that time, I was not happy with how my life was progressing so to feel better about my circumstances, I rented an expensive apartment. I thought that if I lived the part, I would somehow be happy…but we all know that only made my situation worse. This was the 90’s and I was paying $900 a month in rent and I had a $2 job. Every month I called my sister to help make my rent; thanks Sherrie! I was working like a rented mule to maintain an unstable lifestyle of appearing successful. #viciouscycle
At that time, I had not matured and was still working through my brokenness, but I knew that what I was doing was not living and only existing. I knew that I was making choices that did not benefit me. That was the first step towards transforming my mind-set. I realized that in order to move towards a life that felt good in my heart, I had to make better choices.
So, I want to inspire anyone reading this, that if you are making choices that you know in your heart are not right for the life you want to live, it’s not too late to choose to be different.
