WWW-Mindset Matters

Have you ever had ideas of traveling to exotic places, living in a mansion, or maybe speaking on stage to a large audience and then simply dismissed it as childish dreams ? This could never happen you observe. Look at where I am ! I hate my job…I can barely pay my bills…and I’m scared to death people will laugh at the things I have to say ! Is that you ? Isn’t that most of us ? 

I’m interviewing a woman who looked outside that box ? she was in. She saw that despite the odds, we all have so much potential inside that we never bring to the forefront. Most of us are stuck in the reality we see directly in front of us. What we see, hear, taste and touch are the only things that seem real. Therefore our present circumstances keep us in line with that reality. Things will never get any better we say to ourselves, and it’s time to stop daydreaming ! These are our own limits ! They leave us stuck living the same year 70+ times ! Sad really.

Life is a wild ride…A Rollercoaster…Tragedy happens…Loss….Devastation. Betrayal…Violence…Heartache. And Yes, I know that what I am describing to you right now feels so depressing and dark. But here’s the thing…YOU are resilient….YOU are stronger than you realize. YOU WILL forever be changed and shaped by circumstances and events that happen in your life that are simply out of your control. But through all this, YOU decide who you are, and how you will show up. YOU get to choose what to do next. YOU get to choose: Hope, Love, Forgiveness, Friendship, Courage, Laughter, Joy, And most importantly Gratitude. YOU get to help others and on that journey of healing, You find your soul. It may be broken. It may be in scattered in pieces. But the most beautiful souls usually are.

I also want you to know how sorry I am for the things that have been hard in your life. I too have been through sooo much. And I’m so so so sorry for your pain, my friends. But I also send you the courage and the blessings to know that YOU can do the hard things. YOU do not have to be reduced by them. Your test will become your testimony !! And YOU, yes YOU have everything inside of you to create a beautiful life. YOU are enough !!

If we admit it or not, each of us has some role models. Some are people we look up to, people who inspire us, people we’d like to emulate with our own lives. It can be our parents, friends, famous singers and artists, or scientists, or entrepreneurs who put the dent to the universe. People who left their mark on this Earth and are timeless. These role models, aka mentors, can help us discover our strengths to reach outside of our surroundings and discover how to create our best selves.

Julisa Medina never imagined being an author or having the courage to get in the spotlight as she did ! Like so many of us, she was born into a family that had a lot of struggles and never had ” The Easy Life “. She had to change her mindset that, like armor, was preventing her from living her dreams. She had to learn to love herself again. Once she grasped that, she has been on a spiritual journey of growth, never giving up and wanting to inspire others ever since.

She continued to write poetry, and then something magical happened…God or the universe blessed her family with an angelic miracle-her niece Milana. This little miracle prompted Julisa to write a children’s book. As she started imagining, a flow of ideas came to her.

My brother and sister-in-law desired a child for 10 years, they did in-vitro twice, sadly miscarried twice and nine days prior to my sister-in-law‘s hysterectomy, she found out she was pregnant naturally!

Fast forward, my sister-in-law‘s mother was planning her baby shower and in lieu of cards she asked everyone to bring a signed children’s book.

When she is not writing, you’ll find Julisa studying personal development, exercising, taking photos, and inspiring others through her live “Mindset Minute” videos on social media. She hopes this book and her journey will inspire others to take chances in life while having faith in themselves. She resides in Massachusetts, where she hopes to adopt a child one day.

Julisa: “My book “Miracle Star Above the Sky” is a touching poetic story of a Dreamer who desires a child so immensely that they imagine having a miracle baby, one who fills them with wonder and joy. Their immense desire translates to daily prayers to God or to the universe to bring a blessed miracle into their life.”

Thank you in advance for your support!

May you have a blessed day!

Julisa Medina Interview:

1) Tell me a little bit about yourself and what prompted you to explore your new career path ?

Hello, my name is Julisa and I grew up Massachusetts.

In my life I had dealt with depression, an eating disorder, and didn’t feel worthy. I had attempted suicide a couple times. When I was a teenager I was molested. In my early twenties, I went on a date and was date raped. All these things caused me to act out in ways that are destructive. I drank a lot and did drugs. There were quite a lot of bad times.

In 2015, I met an entrepreneur that was into personal development. A year later he left me and I thought about suicide once again. Learning to be by myself was not easy.

I entered a body building competition. During the mental and physical training that this demanded, I had a paradigm shift that raised my awareness. I learned to love myself, have faith and hope that I was on the right path.

I aligned myself with so many inspiring people that gave me the confidence to share my journey, past and present. I truly wanted to help others who are also dealing with self doubt, depression and feeling not worthy. I’m hoping my story can be shared around the world through Youtube, social media, and becoming a motivational speaker.

What prompted me to explore this career path started was when I first learnt to love myself. In order to venture into something new, I had to appreciate myself as a woman and realize that I had infinite potential within me.

This incredible journey that we call life – has so many struggles and obstacles but it’s about finding your way. Once I aligned myself with entrepreneurs, I started raising my vibration and ideas manifested in my mind. I honestly never thought of writing a children’s book until my miracle niece, Milana inspired me. I also never thought about being an entrepreneur until the universe manifested someone in my life who showed me that I, Julisa Medina can be so much more!

2) We all have role models…those we look up to in life. Who are yours ?

Growing up, I used to look up to others as someone I would like to emulate – but never really had a true role model. There are so many people who have dealt with struggles and obstacles in their life and have a learned to overcome them with ease and grace.

Oprah Winfrey is one person in particular that is a true warrior who emulates strength, dignity, passion and perseverance.

3) What is Mindset Minute ? Who needs to hear the topics you speak about ?

A couple years ago, I started doing Facebook lives to get over the fear of public speaking. While continuously doing these lives, I wanted to incorporate what I was learning and what had helped shift my mindset. The name “Mindset Minute” came out of this idea of wanting to title my lives. I wasn’t sure what title or name I wanted to use so during my live I posted some ideas and got a bunch of feedback that prompted me to come up with this name.

I feel as if my Mindset Minute lives resonates and inspires others! I’ve been told that it has helped people with certain things that they going through and they can relate to the topics that I discuss. Anyone can listen to my lives and take whatever they choose from it and utilize it in their own life or just inspire them in someway. I am very authentic and discuss things that some people probably wouldn’t discuss.

Since taking the Leap of Faith, I was able to get over the fear of public speaking and also to break through that ‘Terror Barrier’ in order to start the process of getting my book published.

3) What hardships did you have along your journey of discovery ?

During my journey as an entrepreneur and author, I faced so many challenges and obstacles. I’ve cried a lot, found solutions and took action because I realized that I cannot allow myself to stay down ever again. We are presented with obstacles and struggles to see how we can surpass it, overcome it and learn from it. It’s all about having contrast – you wouldn’t know good if you didn’t know bad.

The biggest challenge I faced on this journey to becoming an author is learning the process to becoming an author and everything that transpires. Writing a book can be somewhat easy but everything leading up to the release of a book — can be challenging especially when you are a first-time author.

I am still learning to overcome the challenges, but I am learning that everything is figureoutable!

As for aspiring writers, I would suggest doing a lot of research prior and aligning yourself with people who can assist you on this incredible journey to becoming a published author!

4) Now that you are a successful author, do you have any plans for other books in the future ?

I giggle as I think of this question because I had never thought about being an author. But since becoming an author, I’ve been manifesting all of these book idea titles. However, haven’t had a moment to really sit down and focus on it.

Once things slow down a bit in my life, I do plan to really focus on writing these children books and some of them are series. I am also thinking about writing a book about myself, overcoming obstacles and learning to love me.

6) Where do you see your career going next ?

I see myself writing other books, growing my businesses as an entrepreneur and branding myself for other future endeavors! I also still haven’t given up the idea of being on TV in commercials!

7) What advice would you give to someone just starting out as an entrepreneur?

My advice for any entrepreneur just starting out is to align themselves with mentors and our coaches who can help them to achieve the results in a shorter period of time, but also help them with their mindset. A lot of people start off and want to be an entrepreneur but their mindset is not cohesive with their vision. Everything starts with the mind and the mind controls the body which creates your results.

If I didn’t shift my mindset and learn to love myself, I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now. I am still a person learning and growing but I have faith that God and the universe is aligning me with the right people to help me create the results that I envision for myself!

We are all in this thing called life and we make or break it’s boundaries. As I spoke about before, we can live the same year 70+ times or we can recreate anything we put our minds to. Do not be confined to a limit you set for yourself !

You’ve heard the expression, “Do not die with the music inside you.” We are meant to do more, have more, but it’s not easy to see we are in control of what we make of it. Look up and see the possibilities my friends. They are endless ! And YES, YOU ARE ENOUGH !
