I AM BACK!

I let life take control of me.

I let the little things in life supersede my goals, and myself.

But I'm back, and this time I am blogging my journey and myself.

I am going to be open and I am going to be me... WARNING. I will be real and raw.

And you may get a mindful somedays...

My thoughts so far...

A few days ago I realized how tough it is for women to support women, but even more so for latina women to support latina women.

I have received backlash from people I cared for, just for the simple matter of pursuing my dreams. I was not meant to work 9-5, I was not born to do meaningless tasks. I want to build my empire. I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to take risks.

I do not want to wake up one day and realize my whole life was given to a company who has decided I am of no use to them any longer. That I can be replaceable, and I find myself scrambling to get a job. Yes a JOB. Not a career.

Why wake up miserable every day and go to a place you hate, when you have the ability to soar and go beyond what is the normal? Why are you discouraged from being an entrepreneur, of finding your strengths and capitalizing on them?

I was told people don't think I have a real career because I CHOOSE to help others through Beachbody. I have a Bachelors and an MBA. I have a full time career at a great company, but guess what? I CHOOSE to work extra hours because I am passionate about fitness. I am passionate about self love, and I am passionate about battling depression.

Your body image and how you feel about yourself has an insane amount of control over how you feel, how you act, how you perceive yourself. If you are not happy with yourself... no one around you will be happy either.

It seems the Latino community only sees those with official titles as successful... your doctors, your nurses, your teachers... which is a great accomplishment to those who choose to pursue this path. My only hope is you find passion in your career everyday and that you truly care about those you are servicing.

For me, I was meant to think outside the box. I do not want to be limited to my abilities and skills. I want to go above and beyond and be the best I can be for me.
