Oprah's Guest Tererari Trent Changed my Perspective
I had to share this as it made me remember why I’m doing what I’m doing. It also helped me to get re-focused on my goals. I don’t know if you had a chance to watch Oprah yesterday. There was a lady on the show named Tererai Trent, from Zimbabwe that had a truly inspiring story. As a child she didn’t have very much, no running water or electricity, but now she is on her way to achieving her PHd. Once she knew that her dreams were achievable nothing could stop her. She had a desire that was fueled by her passion to help women and girls in poverty.
What really stuck with me – as a stay at home mom of two- was that this outstanding women, now living in America, is a mother of five, she worked two jobs, took care of her sick husband and earned her bachelor’s degree. It made me realize that I really don’t have obstacles standing in my way. Yes, I am a stay at home mom of two, but because I committed to being with them I have chosen to work from home. Of course, some days things flow a little more effortlessly then others, but instead of settling I have chosen that I will live my best life. This is my only shot.
I know that you have big dreams. I believe that they were all put in you for a reason and you have the necessary skills and abilities to achieve those dreams. You just have to take action. When the intention is clear, everything will start to come together.
In everyday and in every way, I am choosing to see the opportunities, big and small in every instant of my life. I want you to be inspired. Live your life passionately and deliberately. What inspires you right now?
