What we did Yesterday is not as Important as what we are going to do Today, because what we do Today will Define Who We are Tomorrow!

forward effectively, living my life with passion by adjusting my thoughts and behavioral tendencies with the realization that“ Passion is when the heart creates, and the mind formulates!”
In the US, during my sophomore year summer semester break, my Italian Foster mom, Carol, taught me that“ Wisdom is what we experience when we combine knowledge, understanding, and compassion.” She wanted me to know that my true nature is more than a few personality traits, interests, and experiences. Once I acknowledge and understand that what makes me essentially unique is that I am capable of changing my tomorrow by using yesterday as a point of reference and today as the launching pad for hope.
Dee, my Texan Earthly mom, taught me in my mid-twenties while I was focused on building a successful career,“ Luck is the intersection of faith and destiny.” The stronger our faith is, the luckier we tend to be. The positive energy of faith we radiate into the universe will always attract like positive energy of luck back to us, unveiling our destiny in front of us!
While navigating my professional life in my early thirties, Elsa Mae, my Spiritual and Progressive mom, taught me a valuable, inspiring, and empowering mindset-“ What we give out into the universe is what we receive in return. Since we are the author of our thoughts, if we want to receive and be showered with good things and favors in life, we need to be those positive thoughts throughout our daily lives.”
Nyah, Carol, Dee, and Elsa Mae made me realize how my daily life’ s journey readies me to live in the synergy of oneness with my higher self and experience the immense potential I hold in each moment. Their guidance and wisdom have been instrumental in my personal growth, and I am deeply grateful for their support. By letting curiosity educate me about myself, others, and the world, I allowed faith, hope, and love to help me overcome fear, doubt, and anxiety. The clarity activates my creativity and ignites my courage to act with quiet, graceful confidence. I now find myself on the cusp of an“ Ending and a New Beginning,” always living and learning new things in my own unique way.
Over the years, thanks to Nyah’ s insightful advice and loving guidance, and my embrace of Carol, Dee, and Elsa Mae’ s empowering perspectives and powerful words of encouragement, I discovered how to live and perform in my Genius Zone. This is the space where I feel most authentic, where my unique talents and passions intersect, and where I can make the most significant impact with unwavering integrity.
What we did Yesterday is not as Important as what we are going to do Today, because what we do Today will Define Who We are Tomorrow!
I realized smiling sows happiness, gratitude cultivates blessings, and generosity reaps abundance. In challenging times, I let faith comfort, hope inspire, and love empower me. Faith gave me the strength to persevere, hope fueled my determination to succeed, and love was the driving force behind my actions. In retrospect, my various successes were the result of dreaming larger, achieving greater, and my desire to become spectacular in my own humble way. Along the way, regardless of where I was in life, I always leaned towards heaven and let curiosity turn chaos into peace and clarity.
