I Don’t Know What To Do Next

It was 1 a.m. and I was doing what I normally did back then, I was delivering bread. It was a cold Wisconsin morning, -2 degrees if I remember correctly.

My brother on my bread truck

I was taking stacks of bread off the back of the truck and missed my footing, I fell two feet from the truck to the ground. I was laying in the snow, thinking how much I hate this job when I got the icing on the cake: a stack of bread fell on me.

That day, that moment was when I decided enough was enough, I had to make a change, I had to chase my dream.

It took three years and a lot of blood, sweat and tears but I’m now completely living my dream. When I sat down and thought about how I was going to do this, I came up with a game plan that eventually became my first published book.

In the book, I talked about my three main goals: my weight- I was the heaviest I’d ever been at 370 pounds, my work- I had a dream to write, speak and coach full-time, our location- we wanted to move to Maui, Hawaii.

I’m writing this at the airport in Los Angles, I’m on my way back to Wisconsin to get my family and take them to our new home in Maui. We have a place, I have a Hawaii state ID and the kids are enrolled in schools. Our Maui dream has come true.

I’ve lost 150 pounds, I now weigh 220 pounds. I’ve been completely supported by my writing, speaking and coaching for over a year now. All the dreams, I had laying there in the snow, have become my reality, now what?

This life, my dream life seems surreal, I keep waiting to wake up. Why? I shouldn’t, this is what I’ve worked so hard for but it just doesn’t seem real. As I’ve posted updates, people have been supportive but there have been some that said it’s too much to see and I’ve actually had three friends part ways.

I pondered that question and the answer is bigger goals, crazy, seemingly impossible goals because now I know 100% anything is possible. I want to help as many people as possible make their dreams their reality.

Especially you family man. The focus of this site isn’t online business, the focus is to help you live life by your own design. The focus is to help you create freedom so you can spend the precious time you have left on this earth with your family, doing the things that are important to you guys.

This move has made me realize that material possessions aren’t important, time and experiences are what lasts. That’s what you’ll remember on your death-bed, that’s what people will talk about when you’re gone, not what you had.

Family man, listen to me, you can do this, you have to do this for your family! I know you’re probably frustrated, discouraged, you really want to figure this out, I’ll be here to help and I won’t stop until you reach all of your goals!

I’m sitting here right now, thinking about tomorrow and realizing I don’t have to do anything, I’m free. I want you to experience this in your life and I know you will.

If you’ve fallen, get back up. If you’ve experienced failure, that’s ok, tomorrow is a new day. Take a step back and take a deep breath. Realize this: after the storm comes a rainbow. Are you ready?

Peace out,

Kimanzi
