The other day I was sitting on the phone with a friend of mine. After pitching some ideas around their head to see what they would think, and out of nowhere I get
"CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?"
They said I have been watching your blog, and I really like it. It makes sense, but in my head, I am wondering what makes you such an expert.
Where does the stuff come from?
If they had the question, I am sure you do too.
I thought I would include somewhat of an idea and let you know what I think. I am not a psychologist. I am a mom, wife, daughter, and sister.
My perspective is a little different.
I have always been a little different than everyone around me. I have always looked at things from a different perspective than my peers and even people that are older than me. During difficult times of my life, I have always looked at things from a different perspective.
For example, I have suffered like many others. It was a terrible situation. Someone had hurt me when I was a young child. I was completely surrounded by people who were there to remind me that things were NOT my fault. That is when I started looking into the reason people did the things they did instead of just being angry that they happened.
THIS KIND OF THINKING MAKES ME DIFFERENT THAN OTHERS.
I have been loved by most people in my life.
I believe this to be what makes me different than others. I am not trying to say everyone has loved me because I have managed a restaurant. Haha, I am sure I have groups of haters. I was surrounded by a handful of people who were absolutely crazy about me. My mom and dad, my grandparents (real and hand-picked), and all my aunts. These people are where my foundation comes from.
This doesn't mean that all of these people are even close to being perfect because they were all very far from it. Since they loved me, and I talk like a clapper on a ducks' a** I was able to learn so much from these people. I watched what they did and how they did it. I am not talking about the successes of their life. I asked questions inside my head of why did people do the things they did even the wrong things.
I have been gifted with the ability to talk.
When I was deciding about what I want to do the next time around I had to really think about what I was good at. I have always spoken my mind and been able to influence even the most stubborn people to do things that they never thought they would do. This ability is just a gift. There is no other way to explain it. I can talk to anyone. Sometimes it makes people very uncomfortable but not me. It is almost something I enjoy to get people out of their comfort zones.
I have been outside of my bubble.
I am not claiming to be some war hero, a highly educated person that has some knowledge that you don't. I got my degree online, and it was overpriced and useless (if you ask me). I am a veteran though. I did study business in college. I did move to Florida, where I knew barely anyone.
I just lived life.
I have paid attention to how people act.
I know that what I have to say will help someone.
It will make someone ask themselves WHY.
I want to be part of the WHY movement. I want to make a change. I want to change people.
Thanks for liking sharing and anything you do.
Love You.
