This is my mission statement:
I will find a way, make a way, or be the way.
I had been tired of using the excuse that I didn’t know how. I didn’t know where. I didn’t know who.
I was tired of crying about not having the “opportunity”.
I knocked. I knocked. I knocked.
Nothing.
I decided to knock down the walls of my doubt. I determined to destroy ever section of “I can’t”. I decided…
I decided?!
Ah.
Aha!
Then, I told myself I was going to find a way, make a way, or be the way. Periodt!
To that resolve, beloveds, I have determined to BE my mission statement.
I have no idea where my journey is taking me. That said, I plan on enjoying every frustrating and hard step. These are the steps ordered for me. I shall skip a while…
being about that life,

You failed.
It hurts.
I sowwy.
Now, beloveds, it’s time to exam the failure, sans emotions.
Were your motives pure?
Did you do your best?
Did you give all YOU had?
Did you ask for help if help was needed?
If you did those things, move on to WHY things failed. The nuts and 🔩 bolts of the thing.
Do you need more study?
Do you need more time?
Is this something important enough to move forward with?
Is this something needed for your success?
Once you have dissected the failure, exam your RESPONSE to the failure.
Did you become angry with you? Did you berate yourself for the loss?
Were you understanding? Did you recognize that failure comes with the process?
Did you pick up your toys and stomp home? Or, did you exam the failure and proceed to devise another try or approach?
What you DO, beloveds, AFTER the setback, AFTER the disappointment, AFTER the heartache is the whole ballgame.
You failed. It happens. It’s part of achieving great things. Knowing this helpful.
I am not my failures. Neither are you, yours. We failed. Too bad. Boo hook. There. We have had a cry.
We get up. We move on. Simple as that. Let’s go.

I love this song!… *hugs self*
Love on you today, beloveds. You deserve so much more than you have given you lately.
Let’s cut ourselves a wee bit more slack, eh?

I’m using my failure(s) as building blocks and stepping stones as I am building my dreams and my legacy.
I am also building up my character. Quitting is no longer a go to option.
I try again.
Periodt.
Failure happens. So what? I am building my legacy. My legacy will take the rest of my life to finish.
Bring it on, failure. I ain’t skared of you! Ha!
failing forward and up,
Cassandra

Things WILL get better. How do I know?
They couldn’t possibly get worse.🤣😳🤨
Like a big goof, I made the mistake of laying directly underneath the fan. I KNOW better. Smh.
Sure enough, beloveds, I woke with a nasty cold. Day shook it’s head at me and handed me a cough drop. My dreams said “I really hate that for you” and pointed me to my work chair.
Whatever state you find yourself in today, beloveds, make sure to get a laugh or two in there.
Do what you can. If a bit tired, go a bit more slowly.
Have a wonderful day.

I was so focused on chasing down my dreams, beloveds, I forgot all about my fever.
I was too busy chasing down knowledge. I was too busy dreaming of touching a billion lives with MY words. I was too busy snatching my dreams into reality.
Focus on your dream, beloveds. All the noise around us is nothing but noise!
Nuff said.

I went to a door.
I knocked on the door.
Said door did not open.
I went to another door.
I knocked on the door.
Said door did not open.
I went to another door.
I knocked on the door.
Said door did not open.
I went to another door.
Before I could knock, said door flung itself open.
Said door just HAD to see what all that knocking was about!
Keep trying. Try as many doors as it takes. ⛺🕍🕌⛪🏰🏯🏦🏢🏡🏠🏚🏘🧱🏛🌏

Don’t run from disappointment. Sit with it a while.
Listen to it.
Learn from it.
Be fueled by it.
Do NOT quit because of it.
Do NOT fold in the midst of it.
Disappointment is merely a future appointment with God/Life/The Universe.
Don’t cancel!
Wait.
Patiently.
In the meantime, try something else.
I can not tell you, beloveds, how badly I wanted to run back to the comfort zone. I didn’t care how painfully barren it was. I just wanted to STOP being on this razor’s edge of my uncertain present and my unknown future.
Because I thought I had failed, in one area, I wanted to give up in the main area I have always wanted to live and work in.
I chose uncertainty over the known. I chose anticipation over despondency. I chose ME over the dismissive masses.
Don’t run from disappointment, beloveds. Sit with it a while. It may surprise you. You may surprise yourself at your reaction(s)

Whew.
Whew!!
Disappointment came raging in. Bad. Loud. Big 😡 mad.
That made me mad.
What did I DO about my mad, beloveds?
I reached out for support. I prayed just a smidge. I made sure to eat and hydrate.
I wrote a tad. I watched an old show.
I kept being good to me.
In times past, I would have spent countless hours making love to Doritoes and mini chocolate donuts.
Or, I would have 🗑 wasted countless moments blaming me, God, me, life, me, you, me, Life, me, the weather, me…you get my point.
I have learned, through countless hard miles, to keep being good to me, to keep it moving, to keep being honest, to keep doing something.
Disappointment has a way of sucking the do out of us. Leaving us to feel helpless and hopeless. We are not.
We were just hugely disappointed. It happens. Often.
I have given myself the day off to rest and spend some time with my why.
Why? So, I can make sure I am doing this because I choose to, because I want to, because I must.
Even after all this time, my why has stayed my why.
Why? I have been asking myself this exasperating question for 56 years.
I had a nice tantrum yesterday, telling God that my WHY DOESN’T PAY THE BILLS!!!!
It hasn’t. So far. I told myself I would find a regular job and leave why up to its own devises. If only I could. Crapola!
Be encouraged, beloveds. The Universe is not picking on us for entertainment. There truly are things we were born to do and give to the 🌎 world.
Your dream may be mixed up in my why…*shrug*
