You've Got Dreams...Now What???

I have created my virtual vision board (working on materials for hard copy) and I've been thinking, speaking, claiming, and working on achieving my goals.  I'm more focused, motivated, and determined than I have ever been. I KNOW that I am SUCCESSFUL!  But I must admit that there are times that I feel like I'm chasing someone elses reality.  I feel like I only want to be what I see others become.  I get discouraged and go back to being content with being a teacher.  I think to myself: You can't beat the salary, benefits, nights, weekends, and summers off! But I know I'm not happy with "my happy little life".  I know that I am more than what I am now and the Universe is waiting for me to claim my DREAM LIFE!  I hear ya, Universe! Loud and clear!

So now that I am in the process of designing the life that I want, I have committed myself to becoming focused on doing EVERYTHING that it takes to get there. I've already taken the first step by creating my own job title. Hello, I'm Sharmetra Pittman, G.O.A.L. Model Consultant. I don't need a certificate or degree to be a G.O.A.L. Model.  All I need is my God-given talents of listening, observing, talking, desire to help others, and my long (and steadily growing) list of life experiences to help me educate and empower others to do the same with their lives. That's it! Now of course I'll continue to research and utilize different tools and strategies that will assist me in helping others get optimistic about life. Hey, now that I think about it, I'll create my own tools and strategies (Note to self: add tools and strategies to the goal sheet)!

Well, what do ya think?  What do you dream about doing? Have you started working on making those dreams a reality? If not, ask me for help! I'm a G.O.A.L. Model! Are you?

You've Got Dreams...Now What???

Let the journey begin...

December 24, 2009. My 30th birthday to be exact. Weeks before my birthday, I cried, looked for answers, harrassed my friends and family about what to do, and almost gave up. What was wrong? I realized that I, Sharmetra, had never set any goals. Yep! Outside of the routine goals of graduate from high school and college,  I had not a clue of what I really wanted to be when I grew up.  I became a mother at the age of 20, and then again at 22, so basically everything I did was to take care of my girls. But I was still getting a feeling of being lost in the world.  I would listen to my husband talk about his dreams and goals and I could never join in because I didn't have any. My Bishop talked about having dreams and goals. Everybody is talking about dreams and goals. Except me. 
But!!!! There is a God!  It was like magic! On my 30th birthday, I woke up feeling new. Energetic! Motivated! Inspired! Why? Because there were little goals swimming around in my head just waiting to be accomplished!  On that day, I knew what I wanted to be. I knew that the one thing that I was absolutely great at doing and loved doing, was what I was destined to be. And that would be my goal.  I motivate people.  I empower people. I inspire people.  My testimony has to be shared so that others can know that there is life after mistakes. My goal is to be a mentor.  And that's what I'm gonna do!
