THE FINAL QUARTER.
10:16 AM, on 10/16/22.
Happy fucking C-day to the GOAT. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t kick things off without saying this. As you may or may not know, today is not your average Sunday morning. Well, to you it may be, but to us, my family & myself, it’s a pretty big deal. Today, my brother celebrates his third birthday in heaven. Today, we celebrate with him. I’m not going to dive deep into this topic at all, but what I will say is that he is missed immensely and loved just as much.
This morning, I’m here reflecting following my early morning Pilates Reformer’s class. Reflecting on what you may ask? Well, let’s see :
Life
Finances
Careers
Family
Friendships
Relationships
Health
The Future
The list goes on. There’s just something about a clean slate, a fresh start that get’s me going. It get’s me excited, motivated, hype lol. It doesn’t matter if it’s a new notebook, the first day of a new month, any “First” of anything is my JAM ! So you can only imagine how excited I was for Q4. The beginning of an ending. But wait, first of all, can you believe we are literally in the last 90 days of 2022 ? How is that even possible? Time is literally passing us by. Now, here’s where this blog post gets real GOOD.
From the very top of this year I’ve been making it my business to write out my goals each quarter in an attempt to hold myself accountable for whatever it was that I was and wasn’t doing. Whether minuscule or substantial, it was listed. For some reason I just felt that this would be the year that I would begin to get real serious about life because I had some of the biggest goals to accomplish. Please do not think for one second that any of this was easy because WHAT IS THAT? Accountability is one of the hardest task to fulfill, especially when you are working alone. I will not lie to you and make it seem as if any of this was a walk in the park because please okay. It was pretty tough. Tons of imposter syndrome, sleepless nights, anxiety through the roof, ugly crying, lack of reassurance, I mean I can go on and on.
BUT GOD.
At times, your goals may require you to step away for a little while, to opt-out , have more alone time that usual, to be more still, silent, not being as social as you would usually be. In these situations it’s always good to remember that your quality of life dependent on you. You get what you put out. Nothing more, nothing less. The sooner you realize that your dreams don’t have an expiration date or a deadline, the less stressed, anxious, and worried you will be. Take your time and remember that direction is more important than speed.
I’m here to encourage anyone reading this who needs that extra push or accountability to START. Focus on you. On your desires, your career, goals, your finances and all that you want out of life. True success is rooted in self-focus. When you’re fully dedicated to yourself, everything falls in place. Your current situation is momentary. Do not let it consume you and make you forget what you’re capable of. Do not let it cloud your mind with fear and doubt. Use that energy to fuel your START button and lock in for the remainder of Q4.
I am currently sitting in the middle of my Q1- Q3 goals. I definently shocked myself with this. But I can’t say that I wasn’t sure that I’d make it here because I knew that I would. For me, my journey flowed pretty smoothly, and I am so grateful for this. Especially because most of my goals were HUGE. I’m talking drastic. From career changes, to financial goals, relocating etc. But I put the work in, but most importantly, I STARTED. And now, here’s your push to get started.
Sending love to everyone currently struggling to enjoy the life that they worked so hard to build. Sending love to everyone who may not be able to shake the anxiety associated with change. So much love going out to everyone who’s afraid of progressing out of their comfort zone out of fear of failing. One word, PIVOT. Prove yourself to yourself, not to others. You got this babe. Now, go out into the world and GET SHIT DONE.
