It’s been a rough day today. The book I sent out got returned because of a change in address. I emailed and DM’d to try and get a current address I can send it to. So we’ll see if that pans out. Then I took my kids to see the Mario movie and the projector broke. We waited almost an hour and no movie. It was my 4 year old’s first movie theater experience and he was so excited to watch it. That pissed me off. To see him so excited and no communication about the projector until I asked. Then he was sad not to see it. Then the 2 girls were fighting in the car and it made the 10 minute drive home feel like an eternity. I was so happy for today too. Ya, I was bummed about my package not being delivered but that’s just a delay but to add to it was just piling it on. So came home, cooked burgers and drinking a mango margarita. I’m still pissed but I’m cooling off and gonna have to just let go. My energy is more valuable than to be pissed at, honestly, minor hindrances. So that’s my day and my rant to fix it. I’m done and feeling better now.

A lot of people are quick to tell you their sad story. How unfair things are. How “unlucky” they’ve been. How “traumatic” their life was. How powerless they are to change anything. That’s why they lose. Because playing the victim might make you feel better for a moment… …but it never moves you forward. Winners don’t operate like that. They don’t look for handouts. They don’t wait for pity. They don’t ask for sympathy. They take what they have… …and they win with it. Remember this: Some people will have it easier than you. Some people will have it harder than you. Either way… It has nothing to do with what you’re capable of doing with your life. So what are you going to do? Keep wasting time complaining about how unlucky you are? Stay stuck in that story forever? Or take what you have… …and run with it? It’s your choice. The world doesn’t need more victims. It needs winners. Which one are you going to be?

Where are you building stability most right now?

Something I remind myself quite often. Now I call goals outcomes because I like the bigger picture but you do you, boo. So from here I will call them outcomes. Too many times have I given up because my strategy didn’t work the way I wanted it to. The problem with that… the strategy is not the outcome. When I keep in mind what the outcome is then I don’t get upset and the feeling of failure doesn’t creep in when the strategy has to change. Results of the strategy is just feedback. Feedback of what worked, what didn’t, and how to change and keep going. Think of it as a pioneer. The outcome was to move west and find gold. The path changed over time. It wasn’t a straight line. Adjustments had to be made but the western gold was still calling. The life we want still calls. So living and dying on how you get there is energy wasted, and focus lost. Keep moving west, even if it’s not a straight line. This is my reminder to myself
