When I was a little girl, I looked forward to each new day with excitement, wondering what wonderful things I could look forward to doing and do them. I took gymnastics, I was in school plays, during the summer my family went camping, fishing, swimming, and water skiing! I loved watching great movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, anything with Barbara Streisand in them; movies that made my heart laugh and sing. I wanted to be an actress and dreamed of singing and dancing on stage and in movies.
As a teen ager, I became serious about God. I wanted to be a missionary. I loved the message of the Gospel and hated all the wrong things in the world and wanted to change the world so everyone would love each other and do good things.
After graduating college, I immediately joined a missionary organization and moved to Europe. I spent two years there, learning a tremendous amount about myself, and about life's challenges and disappointment. I was able to fulfill one of my dreams. Living in Europe was such a fantastic experience overall, and one of the highlights of my life!
After returning from Europe I began to have many disappointing experiences. People challenged my thinking, challenged my dreams, and imposed their best thinking on me. I began to doubt myself and my dreams, hopes and desires. I went into a tail spin. It took quite a while before I pulled out of that nose dive.
Yet I am grateful for that nose dive, because it caused me to take a good hard look at my thinking. During those years, I had lots of ups and downs, joys, victories and failures. However, after many years of doing this and that, I realized I'd formed a habit of struggling. I got into credit card debt. I barely made it from paycheck to paycheck. I pursued acting, I worked office jobs. I settled into 5 years working as a crew member on TV commercial productions. That didn't get me where I wanted to be, so I became a real estate agent. That was one of the hardest things I'd ever done and I was very proud that I passed the test. However, I did not make a single sale.
On my 35th Birthday I woke up broke, unhappy, single, lonely, unfulfilled, unaccomplished, and scared. I was finally willing to become open-minded. That's when someone gave me a book on personal development, and that was the beginning of my personal development journey!
In those first six months I read more books than I had in 6 years! I went to two conferences. While things didn't immediately get better, new opportunities were opening up to me that I'd never seen before, and I was beginning to be happy again. Though I wasn't even looking for it, someone introduced me to a particular Personal Development company that markets a program called Beyond Freedom.
I read up on the information, watched the videos of people's lives that have been wonderfully transformed via this product and program, and said to myself, "This is it!" I've never looked back.
Because of Beyond Freedom, and the access I have to the community of people who are also using the product, I have made great strides in my life. I began to travel again, enjoying exotic locations. I made great new friendships. I regained my positive self image and began to believe in myself and in my dreams again. I learned how to set goals and achieve them. At one point, I became #1 sales gal at my job and won the trip to Hawaii - by using the principles taught in Beyond Freedom!
Now I live in Los Angeles - enjoying the wonderful sunshine, hiking 3-4 times per week, I play golf, I'm learning to play the guitar, I'm back in acting classes, I'm dating! I'm living a wonderful life - all because of what the Beyond Freedom product and program has provided me with - a tool that places your feet on the path to get you where you've always wanted to go.
