      Building Your Empowered Steps - LM Preston

      INTRODUCTION

      Empowered Steps

      Empowered Steps is a quick, easy to read roadmap for making your wildest dreams become your reality. This book should work as an active reading guide that helps you realize and create the adventures that you want to shape your life experience. It is modeled after my own personal growth and vision awakening through my relationship with God, love of life, and openness to the possibilities of living at my best, yet learning from my worst. This isn’t about my journey but you discovering yours. Here and there, I will share my personal experiences, just as an example. My hope is that you use my stories as a way to show you how easy changing your life and your purpose can be.

      I’ve read my share of books that are uplifting and that motivate a person to greatness. Your importance doesn’t have to be in changing the world, being a millionaire or jet-setting everywhere. It should be changing yourself to grow to a point where you are satisfied, and your perspective on your life has changed. Where life can be an adventure of exploration of yourself and this world.

      My life started with being a product of a teenage pregnancy. Both of my young parents had their own struggles and challenges, but I witnessed how strongly they never gave up on their possibilities. Therefore, I didn’t. Even though I had teen parents and spent a lot of time alone or with family members, I never dwelt in negative spaces or the pitfalls of my sadness. I kept looking forward while figuring a way beyond my reality to plan or counter-plan to do something else and to be somewhere else. Although, to be honest, I didn’t know what or where that was; I just was willing to try many paths to get there.

      We are all so different and have our place in this world. I usually had a positive outlook and never wanted to focus on the challenges in my life. I had friends who loved looking back at struggles they’d overcome, or better yet, decided to stay in that recollection space. There is something to be said about sitting in, dealing with, and fighting through those dark areas in our lives. It’s called growth, conquering, and surviving. That is a journey that, when finished, tells an amazing story. The thing is, I had that journey. My perspective about it was just different than some.

      My viewpoint for surviving and imagining myself in a position of strength and ability to change my situation was how I persevered. When I went through difficult times during living in my car, surviving college classes while homeless, being in abusive relationships, I imagined myself as a conqueror. Yes, in an outfit and all. I would replay my situation in my head, over and over again, in different ways with different outcomes. Without realizing it, those replays in my dreams became my pathway towards my empowered steps. Then, just when I thought I had my problems figured out, I’d be sucked down again. But I would find my way and float up again. Then a realization of a dream and a way out of my struggles would be revealed that I hadn’t even considered before. If it wasn’t for prayer, or my belief in God, I don’t believe thinking positively would’ve been easy for me.
