DREAM BIG⭐️ WORK HARD✊🏼 AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF✊🏼 I’m still the same girl with big goals, dreams and that spark inside me.💫 Living my best life.💥 A few years ago, I couldn’t imagine what was happening in my life, but I knew I was going to never give up and always chase my dreams.☄️ Guys!🙋🏻‍♀️ I questioned myself and the decision about going into MMA after 12 year of competing in Muaythai, where there was no money and exposure at all.🙅🏻‍♀️ I asked God so many times to give me directions and the strength to never give up.🙏🏼 Go for it even if it’s hard.☝🏼 I did it from nothing to something, and you can do it too!👍🏼 A car is just an item, but the most important thing is that I got myself to the point where I always wanted to be.❤️ 🌟 Now I ask God – why me?!🤲🏼 But he knows I’ll never give up on him, people and the mission he wants me to go through🌟 👸🏻 #dreambig #workhard #hardworkpaysoff #mynewbaby #nosponsor #ididit #youcandoit #mma #wmma #mercedes #amg #mercedesamg #amg43 #ufc #livingmybestlife #luxurywatches #luxurycars
