Social Media Marketing Trends week of July 21st
“You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.”
― E.O. Wilson, scientist who developed the field of Sociobiology
Writing this for you live from a hotel pool while my kids play in the shallow end.
My basement flooded on Wednesday, and by Sunday, my make-shift attempts to dry it out hadn’t worked.
I started to get nervous that the smell was really getting bad, and I had itchy eyes when going down to work on the issue, so I freaked out that it was mold and “said let me get my kids out of the house now!”
(Of course this all happens during the week my husband is away on international travel.)
Life throws us curve balls.
Our actions when the curve balls come is what defines us.
And likely, your actions will often be a result of the habits you have formed.
One habit I have is to try and turn bad situations into good ones…
So I booked a hotel with a pool, and hired a sitter to come watch the kids.
It’s an expensive habit, I must say.
But it’s also giving me the peace to get my work done, build the business, and thrive even in tough situations.
Money well spent. I invest in myself, and whatever it takes to succeed.
So if you’re in a curve ball moment right now..
what do you need to do to turn this into a WOW positive?
what do you need to do to get back to your goals and succeeding?
Maybe it’s hiring a VA.
Maybe it’s booking a staycation and letting your partner handle a weekend on their own.
Give yourself whatever it takes, and you’ll find that the universe will rise to meet you.
