I will be doing what is called a freestyle recording with no specific outline or steps to follow per se. I want to take a pause from the what to do, how to do, etc. I want to go into a personal deep dive of what life looks like when you put the things I'm saying into action. If you have been following for some time you know I have shared my devastating job loss three years ago. I will be sharing what I've learned, what is happening, the waiting period, how things look different from others and much more. It's a personal story that I hope will inspire you to overcome whatever you may be looking at as well. A story that will help you also create your own comeback if you ever need one. My hope is that you succeed and do well in everything you put your mind and dream to do. But know that not all paths are straight and easy but you too can overcome whatever life throws at you. • Quote of the week: "...never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense". Winston Churchill Here is what has helped me continue this comeback going on for three years: 1. Community- it has grown tremendously since I left my job, but I didn't wait to leave my job for that to start. 2. Patience- you will need a tremendous amount of patience especially with yourself. 3. It's your journey-you need to know that your journey will look very different from anyone else's. That's okay. 4. The answers will come- how I found so many answers afterwards and they still keep coming. 5. Sometimes you have to go against what is common-to succeed in your journey or situation the fact is that it will look very different; it's a big advantage. 6. Never stay somewhere too long where you're not wanted- when you leave a situation, don't keep looking back or find those are hurt. Learn the lessons from it. Move on. 7. The people you need to help you get where you need to go may not be in orbit yet but they will come. 8. Have an insatiable desire to learn. Read, explore, experiment because this is what will help you move forward. 9. Accept that at one point or another your journey will be different than anyone else's and they simply won't understand. Stop explaining yourself. 10. Have the confidence to know that you're in the right place and the right time. Don't ignore whatever signs are being given to you to let you know you are on the right path. 11. Don't put ideas off too long. These are clues that lead to your success on your path. You cannot always make your success come faster but you can surely slow it down. 12. Find balance and a pace that is right for you. Listen to this week's full episode for my raw conversation with you and how I have been able to comeback from one of the most devastating times in my life. And no, this is not the only comeback story I have. I will be sharing many more as time goes on. Frustrated because the dream isn't taking shape? It's not as much as in your heart as it is in your mind. You must first fix the foundation then build the dream. In order to do that, you need to deal with what's in front of you, not what's now behind you… otherwise you'll keep trying harder when what you really need is to get aligned again."
