Taking Control of Your Destiny

Introduction

Are you caught up reminiscing about how things used to be instead of owning the present? That realization hit me hard this week. I’ve always been a forward-thinker—ready to take action, sometimes before I’ve even fully thought it through. But lately, I’ve felt less confident in myself, and I had to step back to figure out what the hell was going on.

This week, there’s a festival happening in the town I used to live in. I have some amazing memories from the years I attended, but that place also carries a lot of baggage. I had some huge wins there—buying my house, breaking a toxic relationship pattern once and for all, and rediscovering my confidence and freedom. But instead of focusing on those victories, my mind kept circling back to the weight I left behind, the mistakes I made, and this false idea that I somehow messed up my own freedom, confidence, and independence.

I realized I was stuck in the past instead of carrying the lessons forward. And that stops now.

This blog is all about reclaiming your power, breaking free from what’s behind you, and riding forward—full speed—toward success.

The Challenge

What happens when you push forward too fast without a strategy? Lately, I’ve been wrestling with old emotional ties, and this weekend’s fest brought a flood of memories from my time in that town. There was a period when I thought I wanted to settle down—have a family, build a more stable life—because that’s what I believed was the right thing to do. Maybe my wild and free days were over.

But life had other plans. Through two very different experiences, I learned that version of life wasn’t me. The times I felt the most alive, creative, and free were when I was independent—when I owned my own home and fully embraced who I was. And there’s no shame in that.

Now, as I sit here today, I realize I’m not just reminiscing—I’m mourning an old idea of who I should be instead of honoring who I am. And that feeling? It’s making me feel stuck. I’m in the process of redefining what safety means to me, what freedom could look like in a relationship, and what I truly want for my future. But there’s this urgency—a pressure to figure it all out right now, as if I might lose my chance to live the life I’m meant for.

I know this rush is a trauma response. Losing my mom at a young age ingrained in me that life is short, that nothing is guaranteed. But what does rushing actually do? It makes me feel less confident, more anxious, and ashamed for not having it all figured out in this exact moment.

So, are you trying to force progress before fully understanding what you really want? Because I’ve been there—and I’m realizing that true clarity comes when you slow down and trust the process.

The Drive Forward

Strength isn’t about force—it’s about self-discipline, resilience, and emotional balance. Real control comes from mastering your inner world so you can move forward with clarity.

So what does that actually look like? For me, it means slowing down and focusing on what’s happening inside. These feelings of insecurity can’t come with me on my next journey—well, they can, but they need support. The first step? Last week, I deleted everyone who was draining my energy.

I had to ask myself: Why am I so wrapped up in people who don’t support me? Who judge me? Who stay stuck in their ways? But even in those relationships, I learned something valuable—when you never leave your comfort zone, your mindset stays narrow. You see outsiders with fear instead of curiosity.

Now, it’s time to take back my power, process these feelings of loss, and keep moving forward. Healing isn’t a one-time thing—it’s a lifelong process. And that’s okay. It’s messy, it’s imperfect, and it requires patience.

Because moving forward isn’t about speed—it’s about endurance. It’s about self-trust. So, how can you build the inner strength to keep going, even when things get tough?

The Victory Mindset

How does it feel to finally move forward with confidence after battling self-doubt and distractions? Honestly? Freeing. Like I’m finally taking my power back.

Long-term success comes from steady, focused effort. And I’ve learned the hard way that when you tie your worth to other people or external things, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. You feel judged. You feel like you’ve lost something. In my case, selling my house brought up this unexpected sense of loss. My mind spiraled—If only I had built a better relationship. If only I had made fewer mistakes. If only I had been more responsible.

But what good does that do? Carrying that weight doesn’t change the past—it just drags you down.

The real victory comes when you shift your focus. When you ask, What did I learn? and How can I carry that wisdom into the next phase of life? True power lies in managing your inner world and focusing on what’s within your control.

So that’s what I’ve been doing—taking back my power, clearing my energy field, prioritizing self-care, and refusing to force things when I’m not ready. One day at a time, I’m rebuilding my confidence.

There are no quick fixes. This is the long game. Get used to it—and embrace it.

Conclusion: The Final Lesson

Keep learning, keep questioning, and stay present on your journey. Success isn’t a one-time event—it’s about continuously evolving, adapting, and staying open as new challenges arise. So how do we maintain momentum while staying curious, open-minded, and ready for growth?

First, stop taking life so seriously all the time. I’m guilty of this—I get so caught up in my head that I forget to go outside and smell the roses. Are you constantly spiraling, overthinking, or feeling like you have to figure everything out right now? Your mind might be running a mile a minute, making it impossible to relax and actually enjoy life. So ask yourself: What can I do for self-care? What’s something fun that would truly light me up inside? There’s no rush. That urgency? It’s made up. Take a timeout. Breathe.

And for the love of everything—STOP RESISTING CHANGE. We all need a good Tower moment—a complete breakdown of the old so we can build something better. Chapters are meant to close, lessons are meant to be learned, and we are meant to grow. You don’t have to carry the weight of the past into your future. Let it crumble. Trust that the universe has your back.

Lean on your team. If you’re spiritual, your guides are here to support you. If you’re not, lean on the people you trust—those who genuinely see you and help you process. We’re not meant to go through life alone. And when you surround yourself with the right people, it’s so much easier to get out of your head and into your life.

Mastery isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about staying open to learning, evolving, and trusting yourself along the way. So be kind to yourself. You’re growing. You’re right where you need to be.
