I've always had a desire to write my own book. The one thing that stood in the way of me accomplishing my goal was that one dreaded word: FEAR! Fear of failure. Fear of what others would think of me. Fear that I would overwhelm myself because I just didn't have enough time. A variety of fears and insecure thoughts prevented me from taking a leap and writing my book. That was until January 15th, 2020. I made the decision to stop getting in my own way. I made the choice to pursue every goal I desired, and live life without regrets.
I started this process with creating my vision board. I added various images of the word “author” on my board. I gave myself a timeline on when my quotes needed to be completed, when my book needed to be complete, and when my website needed to be ready. I had to remain disciplined in my pursuit of success. I always wanted to create my own quotes considering my belief in the value quotes can add to your life, so that’s what I did. I began writing quotes in one of my journals. I challenged myself to write a certain amount of quotes every Sunday on my day off. Once I wrote 100 quotes, I began entering each quote into my book through Microsoft Word. I was so consistent that I created 200 quotes and finished my book before my deadline. By March 21st, my book was complete. Wow, I did it!
Throughout the time I spent creating quotes, I researched how to Self-Publish, what that process looked like, and the many benefits. I chose to Self-Publish through Amazon. The process was much easier than I thought it would be and I gained a ton of knowledge along the way. I didn’t have any out of pocket expenses which was a huge benefit, and I truly felt accomplished. This was the first book I wrote and definitely will not be my last!
The title of my book is: 200 Quotes of Optimist Living ~Managing Family, Career, and Health Through Optimistic Views in Quotes~ This book will provide motivation, inspiration, and optimism through quotes. My book is divided into 3 areas I believe we should manage daily in order to have the best possible outcomes during the obstacles we face dealing with: Family, Career, and Health. The last 5 years of my life have been a roller-coaster to say the least. I left Corporate America, home-schooled my son and nieces, ran a small business full-time, moved across the country twice, transitioned back into Corporate America, and I’m still as motivated and Optimistic as ever. For every obstacle I experienced there was always a huge accomplishment attached. I know that we’re in a time where FEAR is all around us, but I told myself that FEAR will not stop me from working towards who I am destined to be anymore. I’m an Author now! Whatever you want to pursue in life, go for it and don’t let anyone or circumstance deter your pursuit!
~Love yourself, Believe in yourself, and become a True Optimist~
