Are some people just born successful? That may explain why some just seem to rise to the highest level of success in everything they do. I have a different view of success. It is always intentional, achieved by hard work, and sacrifice.

Recently, I made some serious life changes. I decided to eliminate anything or anyone that were barriers to my success both spiritually, personally and professionally. It was both cathartic and satisfying to make changes of this magnitude. This change was tough and did not happen in one day. It has taken nearly two years to implement.

Once I started realizing that what others think really does not matter, I woke up with less stress, anxiety and fear. For me, the key was to live with integrity. I live an authentic life more each day.

I have developed a new trust in myself to make the right decisions that better my life. Some people do not have my best interests as a focus. They are just not in a good place themselves. You also have to be careful who you share good news with and why you are sharing it. 

The message for me today on May 1, 2022 is pretty simple. Make a goal, set actions, create a timeline and then achieve that goal. Success comes through a dedicated, relentless focus to achieve something. Just go do it!

This is really all I will eat at home. I do have canned vegetables that I eat - green beans mostly. 

It starts with an empty refrigerator and meal perp...

Eggs, fruit, avocado and salsa!
