“Better Me University”

Romans 12:2 ESV

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

As we go into a new year. I had to ask myself what limits I had allowed to hold me back or what changes I needed to make. It was a hard question until the answers started to come. First, I had changed my thinking. I got on a train and this old man started to talk to me and said change won’t happen if we don’t have a purpose or reason to change. I had to search my heart. I started watching videos on how to change my life. Every person said the same thing, change requires mental and emotional change. Two of the speakers stated fitness would help break the mindsets. After I listened to them the next day I went to church and my pastor talked about Mind control for a week, but this day he spoke about being aggressive with our thoughts. I listened closely because I was ready for change, and then he mentioned “Change is here”. It was the final moment that I needed to start my journey. The new trend that social media is calling “Glow Up season”. Well, whatever it is called I was ready for my change. Ready to take back my thought life and build stronger self-awareness. I speaker said something that helped me to stop chasing money and build my business from a different point of view. Success will never fulfill you. I was looking for the truth. I started to ask myself what would fulfill me.

Jeremiah 29:11 ESV

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and hope.

Truth is for me that sense of peace always came from living for God. Sharing his love with others and spending time in prayer. I allowed myself to get distracted by my financial setbacks and I missed what God was trying to tell me all along. Draw closer to him. I still could do the business, but I had to draw close again to his presence. I was in such a deep depression that I couldn’t even fight some days because I felt hopeless and really couldn’t explain it. I started with 2 chapters of words which led me to study faith on a deeper level. I could feel his strength to fight again.

Numbers 23:19 ESV

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

Romans 8:28 ESV

And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

I started setting my alarm to get up on my off days at 5 am. This still can get hard because of my work schedule. I joined a gym and hired a faith-based coach to help me get on track. I was so mentally broken, so I hired a therapist to help me deal with post-trauma and start to heal on a deeper level. I decided to dedicate time to writing and creating content so I could build my brand. I realized I needed a mentor to overcome and achieve things that I wanted to achieve, I couldn’t afford them, so I watched every video they made and tried to read all their books.

I don’t know what 2024 looks like but I am starting my New Year early and making the changes I need to make. I don’t know about you, but 2024 is going to bring a lot of joy and a lot of changes. I can’t say I’m going get everything right, but I’m going into the school called Better Me University.
