Your captain of your dreams
Your captain of your dreams
My name is Lisa, and I want to share a little piece of my life with you. I live on a small island here in the Bahamas, and I’m a mother of two amazing kids. For a long time, I was just getting by. Every morning, I woke up early to make breakfast for my children before heading off to clean houses. It wasn’t easy. Some days, I’d feel so tired I thought I couldn’t keep going, but I did it because I wanted more for my children.
One day, while cleaning a big house, I saw a photo on the wall. It was of a woman standing next to important-looking people, smiling like she had conquered the world. I asked the gardener about her, and he told me something that changed my life. He said she started out selling fruits at a little stand in Nassau. She worked hard, saved what she could, and built her way up to owning one of the biggest stores in the country.
That story stayed with me all day. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. That night, after my kids went to bed, I sat at the kitchen table with a piece of paper and a pen. I wrote down a dream I’d buried a long time ago. I wanted to own my own cleaning business. It sounded impossible at first, but I told myself, “If she can do it, why can’t I?”
I started small. I saved a little money from each paycheck, even when it hurt to do so. I worked harder than I thought I ever could. Slowly, I built something. Today, I don’t just clean houses; I run my own business with a small team. My kids have watched me grow and learn, and now they know that no matter how tough life gets, you can rise above it.
I’m sharing this because I know what it’s like to feel stuck, like your dreams are too far away. But I want to tell you, they’re not. You just have to start. Even if it’s one tiny step today, take it. You’re stronger than you think, and you’re not alone. If I could make it, I know you can too.
