My Journey to Success: From Personal Triumphs to Professional Achievements

For me, success is not just about accolades or material possessions, but about the journey and the people we impact along the way. In this article, I will share my personal journey to success, highlighting key moments that have defined my life.

Personal Triumphs: Convincing a Certain Person to Marry Me

Thirty-six years ago, I convinced a certain person to marry me. I would even do it all over again in a heartbeat. The thought of them still brings a spontaneous flutter to my heart, and I feel grateful for the love and companionship they have brought into my life.

Perseverance

My journey to success is also marked by my unwavering perseverance. By never backing down, accepting compromise, or letting stress derail me, I have been able to overcome numerous challenges. This mindset has not only helped me in my personal life but also in my professional endeavors, as we will see in the following sections.

Got on the Cheer Squad

One of the most significant achievements of my career came when I managed to get on the cheer squad. This was not just a milestone in my athletic career but a moment of personal growth and self-discovery. My journey is one of continuous learning and improvement, and the cheer squad was a testament to my resilience and determination.

Professional Achievements: Indie Developer and Commercial Building

For nearly 14 years, I have been a solo indie developer, creating 2D RPGs. This career path has been a labor of love, combining my passion for storytelling with my technical skills. More recently, a significant professional milestone came when I purchased a commercial building for my own use, eliminating the need to pay rent. This money came directly from my salary, showcasing a beautiful example of how hard work and perseverance can lead to economic independence and stability.

Over 40-Year Nursing Career

My nursing career spans over 40 years, a journey that has been filled with challenges, rewards, and a profound impact on the lives of many. One of the most remarkable moments was when I had to keep my husband's dignity while he battled a life-threatening illness due to Agent Orange exposure. This experience taught me the value of compassion, resilience, and the importance of support during difficult times.

In conclusion, my journey to success has been a multifaceted one, encompassing both personal and professional triumphs. Whether it is the joy of marriage, the resilience to overcome challenges, or the achievement of professional goals, each milestone has shaped who I am today. My story is a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of self-discovery, and the profound impact that we can make in our lives and the lives of those around us.
