  • Episode 8: Delays but not Denied

    Terms:

    Delay - a period of time by which something is late or postponed

    Deny - refuse to give or grant (something requested or desired) to (someone)

    What is it about life and delays? Why can’t the answer/solution/goal just be completed with very little resistance. Resistance is natural, you expect a little resistance. Delays…as soon as there is a delay the line follows.

    “I don’t think this is gonna(going to) work.”

    There are many types of delays. If you have worked in an office of some sort you recognize what those are immediately. Delays are not just at the personal level. Delays can be within or out of your control. Delays can be excusable and inexcusable. There are cognitive delays, emotional, and physical delays. How you approach or deal with those delays in some ways determines the crux of your denial.

    Here I want you to focus on denials within your control. Take a look at one thing on your plate of work orders or tasks that are within your control.

    Have you started that outline for that book?

    Have you spoke your idea into existence?

    Have you ordered that item yet?

    Have you reached out and asked for help?

    Take a chance to step out from behind of the thoughts of things you can't do because you are waiting on someone or something else. Maybe you can't write the entire book today; though you are able to start with a small spiel of why you want to.

  • Ep7 Musings with Mookie

    Lying is avoidable. The definition of lying is not telling the truth. You have to be not doing something that should come natural to do. Lying is biggest peeves. I don’t even want you to tell a fib, which is still a lie but now it sounds like a “small” lie - whatever that is supposed to mean.

    To be made part of the lie is even worse. That person that was offended is pointing at you and you are pointing to the person who did the offending. By the world’s opinion you are all are told to look at yourself and see how you contributed to the lie.

    THAT IS THE CRAZIEST PUBLIC GAS-LIGHTING MOVE!

    And it has to stop. The ignorant, non guilty parties do not need to be given grace for something that was outside of their knowledge. What they want is the truth and to be allowed to make a decision.

    *this is a re recording of 7. The first one was garbage.

  • Musings with Mookie

    What excites you? Is it the new things you encounter. Is it the old and gently weathered ideas that return every 20 years amongst the collective.

    How do you find excitement if it isn't through nostalgia? Do you explore different concepts, people, places, and ideas? I challenge myself by approaching life with an, although structured, open mind - my curiosity is my super power.

    Take the time to find what excites you in life.

  • Love always

    What is love? Like how do you do it? Every since I hade the business management course at Saint Leo online, I've formulated that relationships also adhere to the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning model. Only that storming stage occurs often for some, a great deal often. Also performing comes earlier with all involved.

    The performing part of the relationship always sets the tone of how hard the storms will be. Were you here for the betterment of your partner or to win an award for best performance?

    The performance part of a relationship is so important during the storms. Adding the the different scenes up, returns the bigger picture. That maybe the person you thought could be for you was only for themselves.

    Could you be with someone for the rest of your life if they were only in it for themselves? Would your anger incite them to do something stupidly. I've done some things and they have all been worth it.

    Love should be kind but love is what love does.

  • Oldest Daughter Syndrome

    Being an oldest daughter comes with advantages. You are able to ease into leadership roles naturally. Your foresight is usually pretty good. You can size up a situation immediately upon entering and getting it under control. Chaos doesn't seem to overwhelm you so much as an older daughter. You are also naturally encouraging to those around you.

    Oldest daughters suffer from feeling lonely when not used for something. It's not easy being a naturally quiet leader. Restless and ready. Who shows sympathy when the same isn't always granted.

    We do have to grow from that mindset and feel true rest by allowing space for someone else to take up the mantle.

    In what ways was as an oldest doaughter did you find peace with your duty.

  • Imposter Syndrome

    Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? Do you doubt your talent? Do you question whether or not you have the skills for your goals? I do! I imagine my myself waving my hand enthusiastically while asking these questions.

    I'm struggling against an autoimmune disease to write as it cause me to feel forgetful. I refer to it as my random moments of intelligence. I want to get it checked out, but Im not in the mood to get prodded on and pricked with needles. My body has to really get knocked down before I admit to defeat.
