Sunday is the first day of the week which allows us to write a chapter of our lives. Sometimes, it feels like we have no control to what occurs at work or in our private lives but we control how we choose to act. With that being said, having a natural initial emotional reaction is human but what happens afterwards is a choice for each one of us.
With the circumstances with my friend from the previous post, I have chosen to remain quiet and move on with my life. One week ago, I was praying for her to get a new job at a new company which was answered positively. Although, our friendship is in question, I am happy for her. We come from two different worlds of where we grew up, how we were raised, what opportunities we had, and who were are influencers. Thus, we have different gifts to share with others.
Last week, I did a live event on a fashion resell app after my post here which i stepped out of my comfort zone in a huge way. Hosting an event online was terrifying but I made it through with the encouragement of my “mentor” from the site who gave me valuable advice afterwards. Today, I plan a repeat with the suggestions that she gave me. Then, in a few weeks, I plan to do another type of live show that requires more prep and planning. For privacy and protection, I cannot and will not reveal my name on which site. In retrospect, I used to be horribly afraid to fly on an airplane but now I love it so I believe I will overcome the fear of doing the big live.
In closing, I believe that we were put here for a reason to follow our dreams, to do what we are passionate about and to make a positive change in our world. The path to it requires us to get out of our comfort zone that includes humility and bravery plus never giving up. Don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you’re passionate about.
Have a beautiful Sunday!
