Lets move people...

Ya'll…. Lately I have been on fire! I feel so motivated to just work on my goals. When I was in school I felt like that was the season I was in so it was hard for me to work on something else. Which is not to say I was setting them aside but I'm literally investing in school, and I'm also investing so much time for the future. We have seasons in our lives and to respect them is powerful.

Fast forward to today. So lately I have been in a great space mentally to finally accept inspiration from others. When you have a ton of trauma or past bull shit in the way, its hard to accept help. I felt like I couldn’t absorb what people were saying because there were so many others demons that were taking up precious brain space. When I'm not in a good space, I find all of those people so annoying! I mean I love you Brene, but not today.

I watched the Beyonce documentary and felt inspired by her. She is a freaking power house, and she isn't called 'queen' for nothing. Than I watched the Brene Brown special. You guys!!! If you have not watched that, get over yourself and watch it! Than I watched Knock Down the House. Hot damn! I was like ok… Lets do this! And my brain was lit on fire! I have ideas just popping in my brain like popcorn. And you know what? I'm holding onto that feeling with 2 hands, because quite honestly, when school starts up again, my time and my money is ASU's so kiss me goodbye. So I'm trying my best to get all of these balls rolling (heehee). I've been practicing lashes, I've been writing posts like my life depends on it, I'm getting other ideas solidified and locked in place, I'm working out. I'm just lighting shit on fire because I am fire! Can I get an amen?

On the flip side, my inner voice is a bitch and saying things like "Gasp! What if you're bipolar and this is just a manic episode?" I just recently read about bipolar disorder so that’s why my head is in that space. I also think "is this stupid? Who is going to want to read all of this crap?" "Earth will be destroyed by the time you graduate, don’t waste your time." Than I realize, I can do whatever I want, and if I want to create my own life, and write a blog that helps people, I sure as hell can.

And so can you! For the low price of $99.99. Kidding! Its free. Just read it. But really. You can do whatever you want. I have loved food and nutrition for as long as I can remember. It was an important staple in our home, and as a person of Latin decent, all we do is eat! And one day (after months of debate), I said fuck it and literally drove my self to the community college and registered. My pits were spicy, and I was so terrified, but I took the leap. Classes started the next week! But I did it and that first step is half the battle! Because one day, when all is said and done and I am a registered dietitian with a BS in Nutrition and a MS in something else, I'm gonna be my own boss. I am going to create my own company and work for me and only for me!

If you want a life that you love, you have to create it. It is not going to create itself. And, you have to work harder than anyone else that you know. Guess what, people are going to call you crazy and dumb and criticize, but don’t let it stop you. Because that’s on them. That is usually their jealousy talking because they wish they had your drive and dedication. If they did, they would be encouraging. Here's a thought to knock your socks off. Have you ever met someone who is more successful than you, criticize you? Nope. Take my bestie Beyonce. When she sees new artists emerging, she encourages, she uplifts, she shares their work. Why? Because she is not threatened. She knows what it takes to be in their shoes and having people root for you and support you is fuel to your fire. 

There's plenty of room for everyone. You can still start the blog that you want. Its not over saturated. You can start the Instagram account you wanted. You can still start the podcast. You can still start the clothing line. You can still write the book you have always wanted. You can do it! There is room for everyone!

Light shit on fire people! Do it! Do you think those that you admire had it easy? No! And neither will you, but you will make it! And if not, dust yourself off and keep going. Try it 1000 more times. You'll get it I promise!
