Victim to Victor
Monday, February 4, 2008

I wrote my story, Undercover Angel From Beauty Queen to SWAT Team to inspire others by showing them a unique transformation: from a welfare kid into a beauty pageant contestant, a soldier to victim of domestic violence, SWAT cop to man-eater, and finally back into the skin in which I was meant to live: A loving, adventurous, nurturing, driven and passionate lady-who just happens to know how to storm a drug house at a moment's notice.


Happy February! As we delve into 2008, many of us are either charged up and moving forward with pursuing new goals or already feeling regret for getting off track so soon. It's not uncommon to get fired up and excited about making the same changes we promised to make in 2007. In the moment, we truly do believe that this will be the year to stcik with it.


What's missing in our make-up that causes us to repeat a pattern that we had full intent of changing?


I believe it's as basic as leverage. Holding ourselves accountable to the "thing" (reward or punishment)we promised we would do if we either; stayed on track or gotten off of the course.


When would now be a good time to hold ourselves accountable for an action or in-action?


This is the difference between a Victim and Victor! Who are you right now, today and what are you willing to do about it.


Yesterday cannot be revisited but today is a new beginning. Make it count!


All My Best, Lisa
