Is your greatest fear that you'll never find the courage to live your dream life

Posted on May 12, 2020 by Bruna Rocha, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

A little about my own story, I have been through extreme experiences that are responsible for building the woman that I am today.
Since my adolescence, I have been learning how to deal with fear and dark moments and how to prepare myself to confront the situations, and overcome the challenges and obstacles that life brought to me…

When I was 15 years old, I told my parents that I desired to live abroad, and I started to search and prepare myself to go when I turned 18 years old.

However, in life we do not have control over everything and a few months prior my travel I had a tragic experience. Suddenly I lost someone who I loved so much, my father, it was an unpredictable situation, and this changed all my plans for the future instantly. At that moment as an only child, I could not leave my mommy behind… and pursue my dream life!

At that time, it was very hard to deal with all the circumstances and accept the new reality. For many years, I have struggled with and learned to never let the dark thoughts and negative vibes push me back or down…

Every day I have focused to improve and transform myself to the best version that I can be daily. It is not easy!

I tried to figure out what the next step was and what path I should follow….

It is quite an unusual story, but God and in some way my father talked to me. A few days after he passed away, while I was praying asking for direction and I could hear my God’s voice in my heart telling me to study to be an engineer.

After that weird moment, I went to study at a college and build my life in Brazil, and after 4 years I graduated as a Civil Engineer…

I believe that everything we experience and are faced with in some way helps to build who you are and build the life that you dream of…

Yes, that girl completely lost and afraid became a professional and since then I have been working for multinational companies and building my career for the last 10 years.

However, inside my heart as always, I could feel my pulsating dream!!! SCREAMING…MOVE!

TURN POINT

I remember telling myself that if I wanted to find true fulfillment and meaning in life, I first had to find me, so I left my comfort zone for adventures in the unknown plus some of other toxic thoughts …

I realized in those moments that the only person responsible for my fulfillment in this life was me. I could either continue to “drift” through life, avoiding uncomfortable change or, I could take control of my own life, change my mindset and redefine success on my terms. I didn’t want to live an anxious, overwhelmed and unfulfilled life anymore.

CHANGEOVER

I decided to resign from my job and move overseas without knowing anyone there (Crazy Right!)

Since then, I restarted from the bottom, came up through the trenches, and I am proud to have started over from scratch here in Canada.

I had begun to realize that true fulfillment comes when you start your work from the inside, seek God for your identity, and prioritize self-care and wellness. Only then are we in a position to excel in our career, relationships, health, mindset and everything else in between.

Keep in mind that it is NEVER too late to start.

I knew God had more for me. I knew I was born to impact and serve others. I knew the gifts he has given me was were not by accident.

MISSION

I cleaned up my past and my work is to inspire and help people understand they can do the same and live the life that they dream of. They are capable of overcoming the fear of failures, insecurities, and adversities that life brings for all of us…

Do not Give up your Dreams and Desires.

With love and gratitude,
