From a very young age I believed we all have a purpose and that there’s a specific reason we were born. I couldn’t explain why I felt this way, I just knew.

But some days it feels ridiculous, right? If we have no clear way of living our purpose, if we buy into the skepticism of others, and if we keep feeding our own self-doubt, it can seem impossible.

I know how frustrating it feels because for years I struggled with these problems as well.

I followed a cookie-cutter life by going to school to get a doctorate degree in Pharmacy with the intention to graduate and land a high paying job. Deep down I knew I wasn’t fulfilled, but since everyone else was going through the motions too, it felt wrong to want something more.

For almost a year I dipped in and out of depression as I wrestled with the decision of finishing my degree or leaving to pursue my purpose.

Once I realized I was more afraid of getting to the end of my life and never living into my full potential… everything shifted.

I made a bold decision to not continue to get my doctorate* and I committed to going for my dream! (*I am proud of all of the work I did to graduate with a 4 year degree though.)

Yes, it was risky. Yes, I was scared. Yes, I worried if I had made the right choice. But there was another part of me that KNEW this was going to work out because I had a “secret weapon.”

The day I made my decision was the day that I enrolled in a program called the DreamBuilder that taught me the “Invisible Side of Success”. I immersed myself in the material that was based on over 30 years of research studying the most successful people in the world and how they used 10 spiritual principles to turn any dream into reality.

I felt like I hit the jackpot!
