33 Dreams I’ve accomplished over 33 years

I’m celebrating my 33rd birthday, woot woot!! I feel a bit weird saying that, I remember my sweet 16 as if it was yesterday and now, I’m 33 wow!!  Anyway I’m grateful to be alive, in my sound mind and living My Royal Reality.

This year I decided to blog about 33 Dreams I’ve accomplished over the last 33 years. If you know you me, you know how obsessed I am about writing down my dreams, setting goals and achieving them. It is also good to track your accomplishments for motivation. For the past few years close to my birthday, I would get a phrase from God to inspire my year. For my 32nd birthday, I got #crazyfaith and boi it has been truly a blessed year. For my 33rd year, I got #Dreambigger so I’m excited about what God has in store.

I’m truly writing this blog hoping someone will be inspired to believe that having faith, putting in the work and staying obedient will result in a life of purposeful impact and unmeasurable joy. This is not about comparison, there are many people that accomplished far more than I am and achieved other dreams. Remember, don’t measure your success with someone else’s ruler and if you haven’t started going after your dreams yet… I’m hoping you will be motivated to believe that nothing is impossible with God.

This is not in any specific order; I’m just sharing as I remember (your girl getting old aye). It was hard to choose 33 because I’ve always been a goal-getter but these are the ones that came to the top of my mind:

32. Earned my 1st US$1000 in 1 Day (not from publishing but from coaching- this was a big deal, soon get to US$3000 in 1 Day lol)
33. Living my perfect day — Able to work from home, manage my own time, rent an office space, buy myself a Bridgette Sandals and be able to spend as much time with Christelle as I want to. (Can’t believe I wrote these desires in 2016 and to see that in 2020 I’m living it out, really is a dream come through).

Again, I’m sure there are many more dreams or goals I’ve accomplished but these were the 1^st 33 that came to mind. To say I’m humbled, grateful and happy is an understatement…. God has truly been soo faithful to me. This girl that grew up in the inner-city in poverty, went to school many days without lunch money, sleeping on the ground etc. have come a very long way… Cheers to 33!!

What are some dreams you’ve accomplished? I’d love to hear from you!
