You wake up each and every day. Some days you feel fulfilled and others you feel blah? 
You have this feeling in your gut, that theres more you should be doing. Yet you allow the uncertantity, the lack of knowledge, and fear to limit you from fulfilling that purpose?
I've been there, that was me! And I know it might be you too!

You see, it wasn't easy but one day, I realized there has to be more than just feeling stuck and unsatisfied. I knew I didn't want to live my fulfilling someone else dreams when I could be working on fulfilling my own. Then and there I realized that it was time for me to grow, it was time for me to become the woman that I knew I could and will be. When I began to realize that change started with me, I got intentional about fulfilling my dreams. I knew I had to be who I was meant to be.

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary flourish is defined as:

• To grow luxuriantly (thrive)
• To achieve success (proper)
• To make bold & sweeping gestures

And purpose is defined as 

• Something set up as an object/end to be attained (intention)
• Resolution, determination

We all have a purpose on this earth, and the purpose we each have is unique. That purpose is not only meant for you but its meant for those around you and beyond. The thing about purpose, is that it can be pointless when it is hidden! While our purpose is at times developed privately it is displayed publicly!

As you grow in your purpose, you flourish. And when you flourish you learn to thrive and prosper in your environment. Working towards your purpose, requires you to GROW! You WON'T be the same, you will have GOOD and BAD seasons. But no matter what state of life or season you are in, I can promise you this, there is ALWAYS opportunity to flourish!
​
​I love this quote:
​

Susan reminds us in this quote that as we grow, there are tests, there is adversity, there are challenges, but if we stand through the pressure, growth is on the other side. Don't allow ANYTHING or ANYONE stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Don't let the growing pains scare you from your dreams. If it scares you, your doing it right!

Remember that every beautiful flower and plant you see started as a seed. While we may start small we all have opportunity to grow into something great.

Lets flourish in our purpose together!

Hello Friends & Welcome to Flourish in Purpose!

As I sit here today, 2017 is coming to a close, and I don't know about you but I am so excited for what 2018 has in store. As I was thinking about my goals for 2018, I took some time to think about the things that were holding me back. Fear, doubt, worry were at the top of that list. The more I thought about the things that I have allowed to hold me back, I realized that the only person limited by by those excuses was ME!  

Have you been there? Have you been piled in excuse after excuse? If your anything like me you know that your excuses don't care nothing about you! (Improper English I know ha!). You can make excuses until your dead in the grave, and guess what they still don't care! Once you realize that YOU are your biggest competition, and once YOU decide to get out of YOUR own way, I can guarantee you whats on the other side is so much greater!

When I decided to get out of my own way, it lead me to where I am today, right now! It brings me to this platform, Flourish in Purpose, a blog set to encourage and empower you to flourish (grow) in the purpose you have. Whether you realize it our not we all have  a purpose and while we are on this earth we have to work daily to fulfill that purpose. While everyones journey is different, the tips and insight I am going to set to help anyone no matter where you are in your life, business, and even faith. 

In the upcoming blogs I am going to share what it means to flourish, things i've learned in my journey, and tips to help you along the way. I am also going to be sharing my favorite resources, books, podcasts, websites, blogs etc. along the way.
