Maya Angelou once said, "Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time."
And that is exactly what happened with Leka & I :)
Today marks the 28th birthday of my husband, Hausia Sione Nemani Leka. I am absolutely honored & blessed to have him for the past 10yrs of my life & I look forward to an Eternity to spend with this crazy man of mine :)
I guess I wanted to share & reflect about my Bday Boy :) and share some great things that I love & admire about this man.
Well first off, even before I really got to "know" him, I instantly fell in love with his outgoing personality & his sweet charm that he carried with himself. He's just always been so genuine & kind to others. And always willing to make you smile & go out of his way to Better SERVE you!
Over the years, my Hubby has made a tremendous 360 degree change!!!! I mean, we ALL have a past. Growing up, his parents both had 2 full time working jobs. Which left one thing for theis average kid: FREEDOM. Being the young & curious boy teenager that he was, he found himself enjoying being in the company of a much older crowd of a bunch of knuckleheads that were up to no good. Soon enough, they each grew a strong brotherhood & before you know it, they all became inseperable. Young, old & in between, they all got into trouble from fights, shoot outs, DUI's & several other illegal/legal matters that really doesnt need to be repeated.
I once heard a great quote that stated, "It's not WHAT happens to you that matters, but HOW you handle it that matters most" and from this quote, you can either do 2 things! 1. You can look at it as a negative & 2. Look at it as a positive. Now ideally, being in my hubby's shoes, he had come from a negative past, ideally what he should is take the positive route right? But sometimes people don't. They are already doing the bad so why change?
Well I am happy to say after a bunch of trials & tribulation, he has made a DECISION to leave the past in the past & look for a positive. Or whatever else is out there. I am just soo glad he decided to join a business almost 5 years ago that focused on SELF IMPROVEMENT!!!! Now of course we are all not perfect & there is always room for self improvement, but this particular business is a Leadership Devlopment business that not only do you improve yourself, you're SERVING others!!!
And so through the years of being faithful & loyal to this business as a couple, we've gained sooo much from this journey. More so on a personal level & yet a relationship level. Not only between us, but everyone else we come in contact with & those who we continually see & love on a daily basis. Through our wonderful duplicatable system, we've read so many books & listened to so many audio CDs that helped develop our character, relationships & everything else in between. Because my Hubby was a hungry & eager student of the system, he has been mentored from those who already have fruit on the tree. Because he was humble enough to sit back & be led & taught by the 5% he has been one of the most humble, serving & phenomenal men I know out there that is willing to fight for what is right!!!
As we continue to learn more about our business, I have come to notice that my Hubby is doing EXACTLY what is taught to us. And through his everyday examples, he is secretly teaching me what I need to work on & what I should be doing & whatnot. I am blown away that through this business, he has come to devour books as though his life depended on it:) Its just such a wonderful & an "awe" moment when I see him reading his list of books that never end. Or to see his face light up when he is taught something new that he read from a book! It's just a sweet feeling I tell ya!!!! And to witness all these tiny steppingstones that he is going through to "better" himself, not only for himself, our friends & family, our business, but most importantly for our sons is truly PRICELESS!!! You sure cannot put a price tag on that one :)
I am just grateful beyond words that my HF made him just for ME!!!! I know in the near future to come, because of all the sacrifice & delayed gratification he has been practicing, he will be blessed in ten folds. He is gonna be one of the most inspiring Leaders out there that is gonna have a massive explosion! He def knew that in the beginning, it was gonna take a lot of handwork & persistence. But he already has a set vision & a dream to conquer. And he knows once he gets IT, it's gonna be that much SWEETER!!!!
Before I leave, I would love to end with one of my all-time favorite quotes: "Be Blessed & be a Blessing."
My Hubby sure is a blessing in my life. I wouldn't trade him for the WORLD!!!! We have a marriage that I hold deep in my heart. We are both far from perfect, however we strive to be better people, spouses, brothers & sisters, friends, children of God & business partners.
You can be a blessing to others in so many different ways. We strive daily to bless others in so many different ways. Whether it may be writing an encouraging note card to friend/family, sharing or volunteering your precious time doing service to others. I mean it can be the simplest things. In the end, its the thought that counts. People don't care what you know, until they know how much you care.
Anyhow, I hope I did some justice & shared a piece of my Hubby's heart with all of you. He's the true servant humble Husband that he was born to be. I am truly honored & speechless to call him my MINE !!! Now only if he can be baptized!! LOL...
Have a tremendous day & enjoy your week!!! Love you all x0x0
