Who would think that just a couple years ago I would go through the most significant, MASSIVE changes in my life…. It was UNBELIEVABLE, Except, it HAPPENED! I went through the downward spiral Of a nasty divorce…. I lost…. My marriage (obviously), My home, Three cars total, My income, My retirement money, Most of my tangible goods, My family, My kids, In fact, I even missed my son being born!! THAT REALLY SUCKED! (because my now ex refused to come home and work on the marriage). (Baby hormones, ya know?) I had to travel 2,000 miles, sleep on couches, blow-up beds, a cot, and in strangers’ houses And I even slept in my car, just to be close enough to see my kids… IT WAS ROUGH!!!! And IT COST ME A FORTUNE! It really cost me everything I had…. One of the last moments Before my life REALLY imploded was this…. All I can recall is I showed up via airplane With two bags of clothes, In a foreign land, To come, In my mind, heroically, to save my marriage And to see my young sons. Everything took a toll! I was broke, Depressed, Suicidal, Angry Sad, Confused, Alone, And highly frustrated! Nothing seemed to work, Everything seemed to fall apart… I thought… “Is THIS REALLY what my life has become?!?” “Why me, God?!?” And… “this ONLY happens to OTHER people… Like those in Hollywood, And on TV….” Maybe you’ve been there? Yet this was MY LIFE! This is not some, manufactured sob story. This is the literal truth! This REALLY was MY LIFE!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! I felt… IT wasn’t supposed to be THIS way! It CAN’T be this way! And yet, It was! I truly couldn’t accept it… Seriously…. It was MY LIFE! I thought…. ME??!?!? In 2010, I had it all I thought… The typical, American Dream, THE IDEAL LIFE! According to most people’s standards…. And everything, Because of one lynchpin, Everything came crashing down! And now less than three years later As I sit and contemplate my life. I wonder, and wondering is good, I thought, “WOW! I’ve been through A LOT!” It’s almost like a day was a year. I know it sounds cliché, But that’s the feeling… Know what I mean? Time has been distorted… And things changed to bewilderment…. Because things are changing, Things are getting better, And things are MUCH different now! I have found some secrets, Some secrets that as I sit on this rooftop, Watching the sun go down, I wanted to share with you, Because even though I KNOW I went THROUGH all of these things, And I know how I applied these secrets, That I KNOW NOW How to help others…. (Many of you reading this need hope, And you NEED a chance For something better! I hope my story Can bring some light To your circumstances!) My life is different now And I STILL wonder…. HOW DID I GET TO WHERE I AM NOW!?!? Wow, what a difference! Things have changed. Things are different. I am different, My outlook is different! I am LITERALLY sitting at a rooftop café, OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN! No joke. (see the pic below) I’m actually, Watching the waves… Crash over the rocks, And onto the sandy beach… “Look, See that,” I tell someone… A pod of whales I think, With water spouts Off in the distance! And WATCHING THE SUN SLOWLY SET! On another wonderful day! (Big contrast HUH?) This IS MY LIFE! And for SOME REASON I’m thinking about you… The reader, Right here, right now… As I work on my computer To get a few things done, To send you a message! LITERALLY, I was thinking OF YOU! I wanted to send you a message. To give you hope. To give you freedom. To inspire you to a new life! I’ve learned many tricks, Many approaches, And many secrets, And now I’m here, To help you now, Because… I FELT you NEEDED to know this… This is where I leave you. Remember, BE GRATEFUL for what you have Because things can, and DO change. Now, at any time. Remember that you ARE Living this life! Make the most of it! I’m here to help coach And guide you, If you so choose. I’m going to get back to my Icy cold beverage And gorgeous sunset! In the meantime, Remember to be grateful and… Make your life special! Make your life a living masterpiece!!! ==> mylyconet/brettgillilan/EN/your-journey-begins
