It all begins with a decision.

It all begins and ends with a decision!

no one in my past ever came up to me and told me I could do something. I grew up looking for a mentor, a guru. i found him but I didn’t do anything in the process! i wanted success without the work. i gave up early and wanted others to do it for me until the day i hit rock bottom

left there empty and lost. this is not a story of self-made succuss. its a story of being sick and tired and running to the only source i knew to find help and that for me has always been God. because if i work and he doesn’t build the house then its pointless!

this will be an unfolding story of the how God has taken someone who is lazy, unmotivated, undisciplined and undefined and absolutely weak and with his grace will make beauty out of ashes and afterwards at the end proudly look at it and say “it is good”
