Chapter 1: Embracing Patience

Years ago, I chose to gift myself with patience, maturity, and grace, and the benefits have been remarkable. This choice has enriched my life not just financially, but also in terms of time, wellness, beauty, and overall life quality.

When I made a firm decision to stop working for others, I wasn't quite sure how I would earn a living. Gradually, I had to break away from the dependency of a steady paycheck every two weeks. I dabbled in various projects, earning some quick cash here and there, before I fully committed to my writing career. I take pride in the fact that I was less concerned with the "how" and more focused on ensuring I would never have to return to a conventional office job. I was determined to wake up without an alarm clock, although I was unsure of the exact path to achieve that.

Patience revealed to me that the journey inward is the only way forward!

I allowed myself the necessary time to acclimate to this new reality. Initially, I felt lost, and to be honest, I still don’t have a clear vision of where this journey will ultimately lead. What I do know is the income I aspire to earn and how I wish to utilize it. The means by which it arrives are less important to me. I trust that the opportunities and successes that arise from my courage to express my unique truths through writing will find their way to me.

Just as I am patient with life’s unfolding, I gifted myself the virtues of patience, maturity, and grace years ago, which have paid off significantly. This investment has enhanced my life in various ways, and I feel like I'm just beginning!

It all began with a singular thought and an unwavering dedication to it. Instead of succumbing to negative "what if" scenarios, I crafted my own positive inquiries that opened doors to favorable possibilities:

• What if it all works out?
• What if this journey is precisely what I desire and require?
• What if I am destined to be on this path?
• What if my words are what someone needed to hear today?
