Embrace no: One step closer to my yes.

I received yet another no.

I am learning to embrace, to enjoy each no.

These nos are teaching me:

Patience.

Persistence.

Perseverance.

I am learning how to:

Laugh through them.

Rejoice amongst them.

Sing between them.

It’s just like fishing! It takes time for those fish to swim by, take a fancy to your bait, and dramatically offer itself upon your hook.

I love fishing. It’s relaxing. You forget about everything. You enjoy the surroundings. Then…

The hook shakes!

A fish!

A FISH!!

Yet, the battle has only begun. The fish tries to free itself. You, thinking of your hunger, do battle to get that fish onto the shore!

Who shall win?!

Who knows? You just have to keep on fishing.

Life is in our perceptions. We choose, daily, what kind of day we shall have. I am determined to have a fantastic day.

I am done with having a transactional day. Meaning, I am NOT awaiting for a certain outcome, or for a particular person to show up to “make me happy”. I CHOOSE to BE:

Content.

Joyful.

Hopeful.

Simple as that.

Note: I have to smile reading this. I started writing it on September the 17th. I had no idea I would be sent an interview invite two days later. I truly had no idea I would be accepting a position on the 22nd.

It just goes to show you, beloveds, that we truly have NO idea what’s around the next corner.

Stop looking, at the hard, and telling yourself you won’t. Stop looking, at the mountain, and telling yourself it’s too big. Stop looking, at yourself, and telling yourself you are not enough.

You are amazing. You are an impact maker. You are a game changer. Get out there and change the game. Starting with your own. 🎯🌍😎

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
