I don’t really know where to begin with my success story, there was so much wrong in my life and my way of thinking before toolstolife.com and Devlyn Steele. Before I had the blessed opportunity to work with Devlyn, I was severely depressed, suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. I had no real faith in myself and never gave myself credit for my accomplishments. I lived life as a victim and all my relationships in my life suffered from my crazy mental state, but worst of all I was tearing myself down psychologically with every chance I got.
Last year I was in the pageant for Miss California and I did everything I could to make myself known and seen by my community and K2 Productions (company running Miss California USA). I was successful grabbing attention, but I was not mentally ready for the pageant. There is an old saying of having the cart before you have the horse, well that analogy was me. I had ideas, hopes and dreams of how I can be of service to others, but last year they were just words. I was living in the past and the future and completely cut out the most important, the reality, the foundation for the future, the NOW!
I had made plans about what I would do if I were titled Miss California. I would daydream about what it would be like and how my life would change and how my attitude would change “over night,” if I were to be crowned. When this did not happen, I was crushed and fell into a deep depression. I felt the desperate need to hold on to something, so I held on to the idea of trying again for Miss California. Only this time I would approach the situation entirely differently, I would put action behind my words, and most importantly work on getting myself right, mentally and emotionally.
Not becoming Miss California last year was actually a gift, an amazing second chance and opportunity for me to get things right in my life. It gave me the opportunity to work with Devlyn Steele and work on his program toolstolife.com, which changed my life.
One of my first conversations with Devlyn was about the pageant and how I felt overwhelmed by the idea for returning, even though I had over 9 months to work toward it. Devlyn explained to me the pageant was the major goal, but there were smaller goals we were going to work on to get to the large goal. He mentioned the idea of having to eat a whole elephant and how it would seem overwhelming if you looked at the size of the meal. But if you did not look at the elephant and just took bite by bite, consistently over time you would eat all of it. At first I did not understand him and what he was trying to tell me. I was too consumed with the fear of not raising the funds I needed to be in the pageant, getting sponsors and being able to match what I had accomplished last year. I did not have faith I could loose the 10 lbs. I had eaten over the Holidays up till April from depression. I was blinded to the fact I was living as a victim, that I could not see or digest what he was saying, but I had faith that Devlyn could help me.
I had two positive things going for me, one that I had faith in Devlyn and what he was saying to me, and two I am a hard worker. Well that is what toolstolife.com is all about, work and commitment to yourself. I made that commitment to work on myself with the help and guidance from Devlyn and toolstolife.com.
Working with Toolstolife and life coach Devlyn Steele gave me the tools I needed to take control of my life and help me deal with everyday situations in a more positive manner. I learned how to be proactive, take responsibility for my actions, build a stronger character and create a new and improved me. I have finally been able to move past major negative behavior patterns that were self destructive, see opportunities as they come, and look at life in an entirely new way. I found the strength in myself to be a powerful and positive force in my life and in others. I find opportunities in situations now, where in the past I would have complained, considered everything a problem and be consumed with feeling overwhelmed and sorry for myself. I am now proactive and I am directing my energy toward positive endeavors.
Because Devlyn and Toolstolife.com helped me discover the tools needed to be successful and positive, this year has been a life changing experience. I now have a program named after me in my community called, M.A.S.C., Miss Alameda Says Compost. This M.A.S.C program has allowed me to help my community and city work toward its’ diversion goals in reducing waste and green house gas emissions for 2020. My community now acknowledges me as Miss Alameda and my efforts toward helping clean up our environment. I have become a local celebrity in my city and this is only the beginning. Since I have become proactive, I have been able to make my visions and dream a reality. I also have a movie in the production stages that will be starring me. The movie is called Recycle Woman and it is also going to be a tool to use towards spreading the word on the importance of cleaning up our environment and being proactive positive beings on this earth.
I am also preparing for the Miss California USA Pageant and I have a week and a half, left till I leave for Palm Springs, where the event is held. I am working through my emotions and nervousness in a much better and controlled manner compared to last year. I have grown as a person and the people in my life can see the positive changes. I am happier and my relationships are in more harmony than before. I have learned to take control and be responsible for my actions and attitude. Most importantly I have learned to put myself first, take care and love me. As a result I have the room and energy to help others! I am living in the NOW and taking care of today. Taking care of what I have to do in the present has made the days that follow, easier to manage and my objectives and goals attainable and successful! I will have more success to report after the Miss California USA Pageant and Recycle Woman Movie…
Toolstolife.com really does work, with the effort, honesty and consistency, and dedication to the program! It is true, you take control of you and take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself!
Track Record:
I have maintained and found more sponsors.
I have lost the 10 lbs and look better than before.

Most importantly I have found emotional and mental release and I am now meditating and living in the NOW!!!
