Introduction

It was the beginning of my third year of teaching, and I dreaded the start of a new school year. Locked into a profession that was not my passion, a career that I felt was distracting me from my true dreams, goals, and all the desires that I held in my heart. I woke up every day despising going to work. I knew what I wanted to do and what I should've been doing with my life. But, instead, I was putting my time and energy into this profession that was sucking me dry. It was taking away my happiness; I wasn't the same vibrant person as I was before. I started to isolate myself from my friends and family, and I wasn't putting much effort into my appearance. I was miserable, yet I signed up for another year to teach. But two weeks before my last year of teaching in public school, I had a life-changing realization.

It was August of 2019, and I decided to visit California: a place I wanted to live in since I was a teenager. While I was visiting, a friend and I went to Redondo Beach. I had never been there before, and I was excited about getting out and exploring the city. We were walking along the pier and trying to decide where we were going to grab lunch, and that's when it happened, a moment I'll never forget. As we engaged in casual conversation, I looked up and saw the door inside of this seafood restaurant. It was a royal blue door with a small circular glass window with black trim around it.

You're probably wondering why this door was significant. I'll explain: Months before my trip to California, I had a dream. In this dream, I was working in a seafood restaurant. Working in a seafood restaurant was ironic because I don't eat seafood. For this reason, the dream stood out to me, allowing me to remember it so vividly. My shift had just started, and I dreaded going out and having to serve and cut the fish. I remember leaning against the wall next to this door, looking out of the small window, apprehensive about having to go and work. (Notice a theme here.) The door in my dream was a royal blue door with a small circular glass window with black trim. Yes! That's right, the same door as the one I saw in the seafood restaurant while walking the pier at Redondo Beach.

The moment I saw that door in that restaurant at Redondo, I froze; goosebumps covered me. My friend had no idea what was happening. I cried tears of joy. As I call it, the universe—or God—spoke to me and gave me a sign. That same door that I saw in my dream was right in front of my face in real life. It was a spiritual moment for me. At that very moment, I knew that it was a sign from God. To me, the door symbolized a new opportunity for a new beginning. Something extraordinary was on the other side of that door, symbolically speaking. I had been contemplating moving to California, which is why I visited in the first place, but I didn't know where, and I didn't know how I would be able to, being that I never lived outside of Texas. I can't lie, I was afraid. But it wasn't until that moment on the pier where things changed. Freedom was on the other side of that door. The thoughts of not having enough money, not knowing anyone, starting over, all that worry and anxiety went away. The universe spoke, and I listened. I knew right then that it was my time. It was time for me to move. I said, This is it; I'm moving to California. And that's when a shift began to happen in my life.

If you're feeling anything like this, you are not alone. Millions of people aren't enjoying life the way they should because they're stuck on the hamster wheel of life. Millions of people are stuck working day in and day out and not living in their gift, fulfilling what they were placed on this earth to do. I'm here to tell you that I was one of those people, but that all changed when I decided to let go of fear. I understand how you can be afraid of the uncertain, but I'm here to tell you how to let go of that fear and use your discernment to listen to the universe and yourself to find your purpose.

By the end of this book, you will have a clear understanding of how to execute the five steps to live in your gift and live a more purpose-driven life. The information in this book is simple but powerful, and it will enable you to do anything that you want in your life. You will learn how to cultivate the right mindset and change your perspective to a growth mindset. You will realize the answer to what's been holding you back from achieving your dreams and goals. You will be able to identify who you are and become more connected to your true self. You will also learn the secret to having the most fulfilling existence and, most importantly, how to unlock the potential in you to find your gift and live a purposeful life.

I'm the perfect advocate for this because I know that you've been looking for answers, knowing that there's a better way. I've been there too. I am now in a place where I live in my purpose, and I couldn't be more fulfilled. I left a profession that I knew was holding me back and took the first step out on faith, and it's the best decision that I've made thus far. My life changed for the better when I applied certain philosophies to it; I found that I could use the teachings of authors such as Napoleon Hill, Carol Dweck, James Allen, Eckhart Tolle, and Jerry Clark to my life. I also had the opportunity to be mentored by some of the most successful people when I was living in Houston, Texas. Leaders such as Holton Buggs and David Imonitie Jr, and several others planted seeds in my mind that allowed me to have the knowledge, wisdom, and level of discernment that I have today. I went through it, I lived it, and I'm going to share my story with you and how
