Down Time Is Time To Create

When I look at my life today and who I am committed to being in this moment this was not something I imagined or even dreamed being possible. While I knew I loved to write, and I absolutely loved working and connecting with people from all walks off life the hard part was the courage to believe I could create what I like to call a safe space to elevate and rise about your past circumstances. Being an entrepreneur to most people is not a real job or does not seem like a very promising or guaranteed earn base.  All of that was a factor but what really weighed on me most was one the fear of failing and how much it would cost, and how could I turn what I loved into a career and lifestyle. Naturally I made choices to rely on a more traditional approach to life and doing the bear minimum to get by. The question I had to ask myself and mediate on was can I see myself doing what I was doing for  the rest of my life and be fulfilled , the answer to that was no I was working in a job I absolutely did not enjoy I had no desire to be there and although I was working with the public it was not the service I wanted to provide. Life has a funny way of allowing you to run hide and procrastinate and then suddenly puts you in a position where the only choice you have is to create your lane and master all your dreams and goals.

I say this from experience after giving birth to my daughter running through all the self-defeating thoughts about what kind of job I was looking for, what did I really want to do with my life, how was I going to be a good mom, a present mom and work the ideal job that fit into my desires as a mother. I was hit with a news flash and a reality check number one there is no such job that is ideal for a mother because being a mother is a full-time job and sometimes you must compromise and miss out on some of those once in a lifetime moment due to work and the desire to provide. The reality is in my heart I wanted nothing more than to be a present mother while creating a life that I loved that would not require me to be absent or compromising my freedom and time. In six months after becoming a mother I had to put my mind to work, eliminate all my valid excuses and limiting thoughts and choose to go with faith and passion. A choice I will forever be grateful for, if I were to settle in my circumstances and keep singing my songs of defeat and why me I would have been in the exact same space because through all the applications I filled its been two years and I have never even gotten a response from any of them.

There is a win in every disappointment it’s all in our perspective and our will to excel no matter how bad the storms in our life may seem we have a duty to fulfil and that is allowing God to use us through our purpose to be in service to others. Time waiting could be great time in the making to hit the restart button, seek clarity and get active in creating a life you love one that brings you complete joy and fulfilment. Invest time in getting clear with what is in your heart and what you vision is for your life, then and only then can you begin to act. Once we have clarity, we are more excited about the journey and the easier it is to commit because you simply cannot afford to not see your dreams manifest. Life is a lot more interesting and excited when we live in the present, taking risks, and learning from our mistakes allowing them to build us up into the person that we were created to be. We all have a creative nature within it just takes the right timing, focus, and commitment to bring out the best in us, no matter what we do have fun and never miss a moment to exhale and appreciate everything.
