Lately I have been a little off track and not focusing on my own goals and dreams. Somewhere along the line, I started focusing on the needs of others more than my own and I began to neglect those things that make me happy. Here I am, the one who is always telling people to make their dreams a reality and do what makes you happy, and I wasn’t doing it myself. I was trying to help others only to find at the end of the day that I had not really done much to help myself. Why did I let this happen? I’m not exactly sure, but what I do know is that I won’t move forward if I keep looking back and beating myself up about it. So, move forward I must!
One hard thing about making the change to focus on my own needs, goals and aspirations is that the other people I’ve been tending to may have a difficult time understanding why I’m not there for them as much as before. To be fair to those involved, I have made it clear that I will always be there for them and that this shift in my focus is not intended to slight anyone – instead it is to make me happier and more pleasant to be around. I am aware that this change may be difficult for some to adapt to, but in the end, I believe they will come around when they see that I am happier and more fulfilled. Honestly, it’s not that I won’t be there, it’s just time to let others take a more active role in their own lives – like I will be doing.
All that being said – I will be writing again and focusing on the growth of my own business. My new radio show on Diva Toolbox Radio, “What’s Your Bottom Line?” is doing very well. I am excited about the quality of guests I have had on the show and the number of visitors and downloads has been encouraging. I am working on closing a couple of sponsor deals and booking more guests. After the New Year I will be expanding my coaching business and offering a few new learning journey programs. Stay tuned!
I appreciate all the support and encouragement I get from my family and friends. We are all in the game of life together and as we continue to support, encourage and edify others we will have richer and more fulfilled lives.
My best to you for a blessed day filled with success and happiness!
