in April 2023 I found myself lying on my bathroom floor bleeding and hardly able to move about 2 years earlier what initially started off as little patches of dry skin turned into a fullblown autoimmune attack of chronic eczema hives and inflammation all over my body some days my skin was so dry that if I tried to move my neck arms or legs my skin would literally crack and bleed and let me tell you as an obsessive planner this was not part of the Life Plan you see ever since I was young I had this dream of having the Financial Freedom to work and travel anywhere

in the world from choosing to study accounting and Finance in University to starting an online business everything I did was to make this dream possible and yet there I was lying on my bathroom floor unable to work hardly able to move and completely defeated I saw countless doctors and spent thousands of dollars out of pocket for treatment but nothing worked in fact I just kept getting worse the truth was my body was failing me and suddenly my dreams felt so far away but as I came face to face with the reality of my own mortality I had to choose whether to give up and stay

on that bathroom floor or get up and start taking control of my own life a fire lit inside of me and that night I dragged my broken body off of the bathroom floor and limped to my laptop in the other room then I sent in my resonation to quit my Corporate Finance job go fulltime in my online coaching business and booked a one-way trip ticket to Mexico and there must have been something in the food water or climate in Mexico because within just 3 weeks 90% of my health issues went away and as I lay on the warm sand we with the ocean waves crashing

onto Shore and the red sunset in the distance with a healthy working body I realized oh this is my dream now the reason why I'm telling you this story is because in our life we often think that it's just out of our control that there's nothing we can do about it but that's not true from this experience I learned that sure I may not have control over my genetics and that I'm prone to have eczema and dry skin thanks Mom and Dad but what I do have control over is the environment that I live in to support my health you see often times when we

feel stuck we tend to focus on the things that we just can't control but today I want to challenge you to think about what are the things we can control for example we may not have control over our genetics that we inherit from our parents but what we can control is our diet and environment we may not have control over that annoying boss or coworker but what we can control is how we communicate and interact with them we may not have control over Rising real estate prices and inflation but what we can control is how we manage our own personal finances when we believe our

actions have the power to change our lives this is when we transform our realities my entire life changed when I decided I'm in control of my own health my own relationships and my own finances and so if you just take one thing from today remember your goals your dreams will only happen if you believe you're in control of your own life and choose to take the right actions to bring them into reality and so let's Take Back Control thank you
