I attribute my success to being spiritually connected first. I gave up doing it as a Leo and I just do it God's way now. I don't worry anymore. I got on my knees last year and said, okay, I'm tired, I can't do it my way, I'll do it your way. I pray every morning and I work out because you have to have a routine. That's how I carry myself and work out so that I'm balanced throughout the whole day. I tell God to use me, bring me to positive people, put me in front of people who need to see you. He gives me the signs and I've made a difference in a lot of people. At this point, being confident and spiritually connected is key, and knowing that from every fall, there's always going to be a learned lesson for the positive. No matter how bad it is at the time, when we start doing that and we learn something from it to do something differently, then that is the whole lecture of the downfall, bringing us to a very positive outcome or future endeavor that is waiting. If we hadn't gone through that, then we wouldn't have known how we could have handled it differently.

Not to fear anything. I think first they have to be aware, aware of where they're at. They have to have that self-awareness and have to have the goals that they want to accomplish, and create a plan to get there and a vision. I did the Proverbs and Solomon, right? He chose wisdom over riches, to have the wisdom to do it how God wants us to do it. You plant the seed, put the time in, water it, have the patience, these are all virtues, and then reap the harvest. If people can learn to do that, then they can do anything. Even though we can't do everything all at the same time, one thing at a time, but nothing's impossible. For somebody who cannot multitask, my advice is gonna be single-task, but you have to step up. It's about being confident and understanding that we need to fall to get up, to learn, and to move forward. That's how we learn. If we don't fall, then we never learn.

I think for me, at this point, being confident and spiritually connected is most important, and knowing that from every fall, there's always going to be a learned lesson for the positive. No matter how bad it is at the time, we can't comprehend or break it apart, but when we start doing that and we learn something from it to do something differently, then that is the whole lecture of the downfall, bringing us to a very positive outcome or future endeavor that is waiting. If we hadn't gone through that, then we wouldn't have known how we could have handled it differently. It's about not being content, learning from it, letting it go, and moving forward. Family is very important to me. I have my mother with me. I love challenging my children and empowering them. Since they were in kindergarten, I would ask them who are we praying for, what are we thankful for, don't do something Jesus wouldn't do, if somebody falls pick them up. I raised them almost by myself, and if they had a problem, they needed to come with 3 solutions and pick one.
