I have a story for you, I recently found myself in a very difficult situation. I won’t go into too much detail however, I felt like my life was over. I felt like nothing would ever change, and I would be stuck in this hellish situation for the rest of my days; but you know what? Things shifted in a supernatural way.

I woke up one morning to a mysterious email, it turned out the email was from an old client, someone I haven’t spoken to in years. He said:

“Hi,

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to connect with you because I’m building a new business. After years of building niche blogs, I’m about to start an

AI agency, and I’d like you to work with me on it. I’m willing to offer $50 an hour for the next six months, working five hours a day. Please let me know when we can have a chat about it.”

Wow!

I made the decision this year to quit full-time content creation to work full time as a software engineer; but actually, right now, I’m working part time and the money is good but I set a girl to earn a certain amount in 2025, and the software engineering job is great but it’s not cutting it for the goal I want to achieve.

Anyway, so I took the $50 an hour job, and negotiated to $60 an hour, he accepted. I’m starting in the new year. Yay!

The moral of this story is that things are about to get good.

If you’ve been struggling for a while trying to make as much content as possible and honestly, I needed something new, something fresh, something challenging.

I want a guaranteed paycheck, but I don’t want to work in a physical office, meeting people everyday. So, working a remote job is the best thing for me, that’s what I prefer. Working a remote job, and doing content creation, affiliate marketing and selling digital products as a side hustle.

Two weeks ago, I felt hopeless, I was fed up to be honest, and I went into a deep, dark depressive state. Then, this email popped up out of nowhere, and I’m working with one of my favourite clients, life is good.

So, if you’re struggling right now, you’re scared, fed up, feeling lost. Don’t worry, things will change if you believe they will. Wallow in self doubt for a while, but pull yourself out of it, get back up and start believing.

I woke up one day and decided to start listening to positive affirmations again. I stopped for a while, but I got back on the train when I made the decision to create manifestation content on one of my YouTube channels.

I listened to affirmations for the whole day instead of watching shows on Netflix or listening to music, and when I tell you that doing this uplifted my spirit! I’m not lying to you, it’s the one thing that changed everything for me.

I’m not saying that affirmations are the only way to pull yourself out of a rut, but they do help.

Here are some affirmations you can try to pull yourself out of a rut:

I am capable of change and growth.

Every day is an opportunity to evolve and improve.

I embrace my journey, no matter how challenging it may seem.

Each step I take brings me closer to my goals.

I am worthy of happiness and success.

I deserve to feel joy and fulfillment in my life.

I release negativity and invite positivity into my life.

I choose to focus on the good that surrounds me.

I have the strength to overcome obstacles.

Challenges are stepping stones to my personal growth.

I am in control of my thoughts and emotions.

I can choose to think positively and act with intention.

I attract opportunities that align with my passions and values.

The universe supports me in pursuing what I love.

I am surrounded by love and support from those who care about me.

I am never alone in my journey; I have a network of encouragement.

I celebrate small victories on my path to success.

Every achievement, no matter how small, is worth recognizing.

I believe in myself and my ability to create the life I desire.

My dreams are within reach, and I will take steps to achieve them.
