Determined to Thrive

             Determined To Thrive 

           Wellness Wisdom Wealth

This blog is a creation of my own determination to thrive. After getting to a point where I was tired of struggling. Exhausted from years of fighting to simply survive. I began reading self help books, listening to motivational speakers and researching every aspect of health and wellness you can imagine. 

I remember listening to one of those motivational speakers, they were talking about skipping rocks at a lake. As the rocks skips its way across the water, each time it lands it creates ripples going out. They said "the problem is most people go through life simply existing. Taking life as it comes, changing nothing unless forced to, just existing until the ripples hit. Don't wait for the ripples, be the rock!"  “Be the change you wish to see in the world" create the ripples, make waves, “rock the boat." Don't go through life reacting to life as it comes. Live - take action - let others react to the ripples you've created. Stop merely existing and just letting life happen. Live. 

I was already at the point of wanting drastic change, but listening to that speech really solidified my resolve. Determined to change my life, and build one I can be genuinely proud of. 

I continued reading self-help books and articles, reading anything I could find on health, wellness, changing yourself and your life for the better. I began researching finances, budgeting, saving, investing, how to increase your income, side hustles, money management all of it. 

At this point focusing not just physical well-being, but all aspects of personal wellbeing, determined to thrive in all areas of my life.

I believe that if our health isn't properly being cared for it will inevitably reflect in the rest of our life. Nothing can work quite right if the condition of our health isn't  addressed first. I also believe knowledge is something we should strive to obtain as much of as possible and in turn share that knowledge with as many people as possible. They say “knowledge is power," in my opinion because it has the ability to drastically change the decisions we make, as long as we know the information pertinent to said decision.

There's a lot I've learned in the last few years, about health and nutrition, the benefits herbs have to offer our health and overall wellbeing, how to prioritize personal wellness mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially, regardless of the storms that may come. 

In my search for how to best overhaul my own life, to get myself to a better place, looking at the bigger picture of where/how I want life to be, breaking it down to the tiny minute details that have become the steps I need to take to achieve my larger goals, I've learned a lot that in my opinion is worth sharing. Especially to those who may be in a similar place wanting to change their lives.

They say dream big, and if your dreams don't scare you a little they're not big enough! Well my dreams are vast and I'm starting this journey at ground zero and working my way up. With this blog I plan to share that journey, the knowledge I have about herbs, nutrition, and personal wellness and the financial wisdom I'm gaining along the way. So if you'd like to learn about nutrition, herbs, gardening, or how to budget when you're flat broke, ways to increase your income with $0 to start with, how to best manage money when it starts flowing in to build personal wealth and work towards financial freedom, stay tuned! I'm going to do my best to post a few times a week about herbal wellness and financial tips as well as update on my personal journey, what's working, what's not and show realistically what can be achieved when you want to change your life. Even if, like me, you're starting with nothing, except an unyielding determination to thrive.
