Hey friends! I wanted to catch you up on a few things that have occurred since the last couple of times you’ve perused my webpage. Back in October of 2018, I shared with you all that I lost my job. Well. I’m happy to say that I now have a new job that I recently started in January. Are y’all happy for me? It’s crazy to say this, but being off for 6 months was the BEST! Weird, but oh so true. Well.. Let me rephrase that. At first it was a month full of me being depressed, but then something happened and God covered me. From friends and family praying for me and sending me financial blessings to me getting my rump in gear and being excited about designing my own day. I can’t even explain the joy that I had designing my own day! It went a something like this:
- AM- Workout/Walk & listen to a podcast or two a day
- Complete the Miracle Morning- If you haven’t read this book yet, it’s a total game changer. Grab it here, and let’s be accountability partners. The Miracle Morning consists of completing the LIFE SAVERS each morning.
- Breakfast
- Apply for jobs for 2-3 hours
- Work on my business for 4 hours
After I was done with all of the above, I had the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted. If that meant, taking my nephew to the park, watching paw patrol and all the other movies that he chose, or even being able to grab lunch with my mom or dad at any random time of the day I could. I went from being sad, to designing my day and being happy! My day flew by most days! I would look up and everyone would be getting home from work, and I had accomplished so much that I wanted to do in that period of time.
(Okay, if you know how to add, you’ll figure out that I left an additional 6months out of the story because I was working, but I’m not going to count it.) But when I finally got a job, it felt weird. (LOL!) I know, I know, some might say I had just gotten comfort able, lazy, but say what you want, something transformed in me in that 6 months; I went from being on my own schedule, to now, not being able to customize my day anymore. I was sick the entire first week. It’s taken a while for me to get used to being on someone else’s schedule again, but I’m pushing forward and handling my business like an adult.
BUT… Y’all knew it was coming right? I realized that there is truly something special in being able to design your day, pushing yourself to succeed in your own dreams and take responsibility for your own means of income. Or multiple streams of income. I realized that my dreams are not far-fetched, and if I keep on going, I will be able to accomplish everything that I’ve set out to do. This road is definitely not for the faint of heart, but I know that God wouldn’t have put all of these dreams and goals for me to just sit on. I mean, I have some big dreams and I can’t to see them come to pass. Until then, I’m going to continue pushing and handling my business and waiting to design my day fully again just in a different manner. Until then, work, eat, and work some more on those multiple streams of income. We have 260 days remaining until the 2020, what goals are you planning to meet in the second quarter of the year? Let me know below. I would love to hear from you!
