Keeping it 100

This photo: The moment you realize it’s the last day of promoting your biggest event of the year!! ? and you can FINALLY breathe! No more ticket sales pressure, expanding and compressing every waking moment of every day. 

Shits been stressful, I can’t lie. This event (annual Ladies Empowerment Dinner) is basically the equivalent of throwing a wedding each year, without a budget, in 3-4 months time. I’m not an event planner. I don’t have a brides budget. It’s a bitch, that’s the reality. Its not glamours. It’s the most stressful part of the entire year for me, which is why, I decided this will be my last one.

Don’t worry, I’ll do other awesome events in the future (and will reveal my next move at this event May 4, 2019), but not this. This is too much. 

But it’s bitter sweet to have it be my last, because I love this night so much. I love having women feel spoiled, put on those heels and dress that have been sitting in the closet, waiting for a night like this. A night to feel beautiful, accepted, embraced and special. I love the atmosphere in the room. The love and connection. I love the intimacy of it. I love learning from women who inspire me. And I can’t wait for all of that next Saturday. I need it. Girl, do I NEED it!

KEEPING IT 100…

But I’ve gotta keep it real (as I’ve always promised to do), even though it feels uncomfortable and scary to do so. TBH This has tested my faith. This has pushed me to my edge. Financially it will be a loss 3 years running. Clearly not a sustainable business model, a hit I can’t keep taking.

It feels like failure, when you set goals for yourself which you struggle to achieve or fall short of. The temptation creeps in, like ice in your veins, to allow doubt to destroy you. You occasionally wish for rocks to crawl under. You question if you’ll ever be the person you KNOW you are becoming. 

There are days when you just want to concede. Allow the doubt and fear to envelope you, a cobra wrapping your mind and body in panic, sucking life. 

Every part of your rational brain says it can’t be done. Not this time. This time the mountain is too high. The obstacles unsurmountable. This time there will be no more rabbits to pull from caps. 

It’s these moments, when thoughts this dangerous roll in like thick morning fog, that you must choose to FIGHT. No matter what corner you find you back pinned against, you ALWAYS fight. You scrap, you hustle. You invent solutions that don’t exist. You use your tools. 

Every morning you wake up and recommit yourself to your mission, your purpose, your dream. You remove all other alternatives.

They say you must; “burn the boats” to be successful. But what they don’t say, is there are days when it feels like you’re in the middle of the pacific, in a typhoon. You’ve lost your ship, you’re in a blow-up raft, there’s no land in sight, no crew, no life vests, no food, no water, no ores. They don’t tell you, that. 

But there will be days like that. There are. This is why survival skills are so critical. Why you must know what to do, how to create miracles. This is why most people fail. Because they just can’t take it any more. They’ve run out of ideas. They don’t have the skills and they loose the will to keep fighting. 

As long as you are fighting for your dreams, for the life you want, you are NO FAILING. Failure only comes when you surrender to defeat. 

I rely on my tools in the #HBMethod every single day. #ThinkIt saves me daily. Telling myself the story of my dream outcome, saves me. Pumping imaginary confidence into my veins, to warm the icy fear, saves me. The clear vision of how it will feel in that glorious moment when my dream is realized, saves me.

Not giving up… saves me. 

Your moment is coming… it’s around the corner, let nothing keep you from it.

    Hello, it’s Philip Flowers here!
    I work as an academic writer and have created this content with the intent of changing your life for the better. I started honing my writing talent in my school years. I learned that my fellow students needed writing help—and they were willing to pay for it. The money was enough to help pay my tuition for my remaining semesters of college.
    Ever since college, I have continued to work as an academic writer. I was hired by a writing company based in the United Kingdom. Since then, the research papers that I have created have been sold around Europe and the United States.
    In my line of work, I have become used to hearing, “Philip, can you help me meet my writing assignment deadline?” I know that I can save their time.

    Hi everyone , I’m Darla Lloyd.
    Welcome to my homepage . I started writing in high school after a creative writing assignment for my English teacher. I did creative writing for several months before I thought about doing something else.
    I had always loved doing research papers because I’m passionate about learning. When you combine writing ability with a love of learning, dissertation writing only makes sense as a job.
    I’m passionate about aiding the students of the future in their school career. When they don’t like their assignment , I am there to help.

    Welcome to my blog ! I’m Preston Singh.
    Even though I jokingly credit my aunt for my writing talent, I know that it is a talent I have fostered from childhood. Though my mother is a writer, I also started out young.
    I’ve always had a way with words, according to my favorite teacher . I was always so excited in history when we had to do a research paper .
    Now, I help current students achieve the grades that have always come easily to me. It is my way of giving back to schools because I understand the troubles they must overcome to graduate.
