Finding the power within myself

My success is finding strength to take control. When I started this program I was afraid of facing the real problems of my life, finding excuses not to change. The real problem was within me, I couldn't even look at my self in the mirror without feeling shame and self doubt.

I was ready for change and I heard about tools. At first I was so ready to start I could not wait for the next day, trying to move forward at fast as I could, not living in the now but always looking ahead for some kind of reward, like just going through the program was enough. Well, that was a yes and no, it was planting the seeds but I was rushing not getting the full benefits.

I became overwhelmed, not by tools but with my own self realization. I had to stop, the program was moving ahead but I wasn't, at least not as fast. I was not ready to make the changes I knew I had to make to move forward.

In the back of my mind I was getting prepared to make that leap, but without realizing it I was making changes, and what I thought was a huge leap, ended up being small, but important steps.

Now I am creating my opportunities shaping my life how I want it. Im just starting to get the ball rolling, and once you get momentum and start to feel confidance you cant help but keep moving foward.

To date I have finished a 9 unit  course from sac. state, stopped smoking, drinking, lost 30 lbs, started a band and have an interview for the job Ive been working for.

Oh yeah, and the most important thing I feel great and I love myself
