Tears streamed down my face as I sat alone in a coffee shop, writing a Facebook post just for me.
Sometimes I do that.
I’ll post something that means absolutely nothing to anyone else… except me.
Why?
Because I want to see it over and over again that day.
Because I want the memory to pop up again years from now, and remind me of what I was going through and how I got through it.
This was two weeks ago.
And like many entrepreneurs, I’d been struggling, asking myself the same questions on repeat.
Then it hit me.
I needed to stop beating myself up.
I needed to give myself permission to make a few very hard decisions… decisions I should’ve made a long time ago.
If you’re like me, and I think you are – you hold a lot in.
Whether it’s out of embarrassment… or to protect others… or because, as business owners, we feel like we have to carry it all.
Truth is, this game is lonely.
It’s tough.
And sometimes, the only person standing in your way… is you.
These weren’t impossible decisions.
They just required me to give MYSELF the green light to do what’s right.
That’s why today’s song hit me so hard.
I wasn’t trying to hype myself up when I wrote that post…
But when this song came on, it didn’t just bring the tears, it brought clarity.
It was the message I needed, at the exact moment I needed it.
Some might say… the universe was speaking:
“’Cause sometimes you just feel tired.
You feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you.
You gotta find that inner strength…
and just pull that sht out of you…
and get that motivation to not give up.
To not be a quitter.
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face… and collapse.”*
That’s all I’ve got this week, friends.
As always, if you need help or just need someone to talk to…
I’m here.
Hit reply. I mean it.
