Name Change

           Why did I change the name of the blog from Melanie's Journey to Financial Freedom to Melanie's Journey? Because reaching financial freedom is only one of the ventures I will strive to acheive while walking out this journey.
            I had school today and my family has heard me say how hard every semester has been and only by God's grace have I made it, but this semster I have wanted to quit and run away. I have been in labor before twice and this semester is as painful as labor!!!!!!!!!!! Why do I feel this way? Im getting an grown up degree and wasnt ready for what came with it. Its kind of like graduating high school and being the class clown, and now you have to go to college and your jokes arent funny, no one knows you and no one is waking you up to go to class, when mom always woke you up. Grown up stuff!! I need the pit bull to kick in ASAP. Here she comes !!!!

            I watched this video and it helped me pull myself together. No, Im not making sales calls , but I hit a plateau of knowledge and the only way to get past it is to dig in deeper, study smarter not harder and refocus my time. I was watchin a mercedes benz commerecial and it said the owner posted in his shop "The Best or Nothing" I sat and stared at that quote, bescause if we lived our lives with this in the fore front of our minds the 2% of wealthy people would have to move over and watch us rise in wealth with them. We get stomped by our own enemy that reside " in a me" I am my greatest hinderance and Im sure Im not alone. It doesnt matter how many people cheer you on , if you cant see it for yourself you or maybe I should say "I" will be limited on what I can acheive.

          I will strive to complete this grown up degree, but my true measure of success is when my son's become their best selves. Thats success to a parent!

This blog page was all over the place today. I will be more focused next time!! this is just where I am today.  Please excuse my blog if it reads like the Zora Neal Hurston book "There Eyes Were Watching God." (awesome reading, but took me a moment to understand it). Lets keep walking..............
