“I Choose to Press Through”

Been mocked for saying I have been working 14-16 hour work days! I have accepted the fact people tend to support you as long as you are on their same level! I made the decision to level up and I now appreciate the art of hard work, less socializing, less sleep, and I appreciate and understand the importance of pushing hard! Outside of my regular 9-5, I am a published author, I am on FM radio out of Atlanta, working on my podcast, I have been doing interviews of great people doing great things, I have a blog, I have my youtube channel, I write bio’s for other people, I am launching my Business Consulting business, and the list goes on and on! I choose to keep pressing forward and higher, and I choose to refuse to allow what’s going on with other people and their situations to derail me from any of it! I have issues also, however, I choose not to allow my challenges that are going on to interfere with that which is greater. I choose to have Heaven right here right now! So for those who are mocking me thank you!!! I press hard for myself, my family, and MY GOD! Greater is she who believes in GOD than she who is trying to please others.
