Sometimes it actually feels like you're in the same place and nothing has changed year after year.
I knew it is easy to look at 2014 with a bitter taste. I know I started this blog...but I am not perfect by all means. There was a goal list that I made. There was a daily schedule that I set. The trick is to get back on the plan..work it long enough until you are able to produce the results you need. So when I look at this year I realize that all though there was set backs...there is still growth. I continued to be consistent in area in my life and starting to see the benefits. I knew I had to keep performing no matter what. My last show was Dec 12 this year. The last show was the show a scouter made it to...just to here me. Let me back up...earlier this year I knew I needed to have a cd completed by November this year at least. I never completed that part. The good thing is the lady will be in town for a min. I have time to get my stuff together. What happened and what is the point I am trying to make for you?
Why is it another year and you think your in the same place?
I can only use myself as the example. Getting an apartment, getting in a relationship, full time job, and brand new car was not apart of the plan...these things were know where on my goal list. When you come up with a goal list or plan for success...it is soo important that you follow it through. The apartment brought more debt,,,cost a lot to make it comfortable. The new car...more debt. The customer service job...brought a paycheck along with stress and more problems. The relationship was good but his past followed him. Lets say private calls from the ex over and over again was my new problem. Slashed tires and egg on my brand new car...police can't really do anything if I did not see it...they said. None of this is anybody elses fault. Non of this was apart of my goal list or my daily plan of action for success. I knew I wanted to work my home business and work on my music. I knew the income I wanted to make and the time frame I had and still have to do it in. I came up with a daily plan of action for my life. I prayed and was given the steps to achieve my goals. All these deviations from the plan was my fault. I am thankful that I stayed consistent in one area. I knew no matter what I had to do my shows. Staying consistent this allowed me to see how important it is to focus my attention on something long enough for the desired outcome to take place.
So, it is another year around the corner...whether it's your birthday or an actual new year...it really doesn't matter, you are present!!!
You are present enough to stop what your doing, I did that almost a year ago, and go back to the goal list. I learned alot. The fact that I did put in time with my goals...seeds have been sewn. I will reap a benefit from the works I have done. I have learned that the more I value myself and my time...my decisions on how I chose to spend my time will change for the better. I learned there is nothing wrong with seeing my flaws. There is nothing wrong with realizing you have more work to do...when it comes to learning how to truly love and respect yourself. I am not where I want to be. I am not making choices all the time that reflect the kind of character I want to see. It's okay. It's okay to have more work to do. It's okay to just accept I am better than I was. It is okay to accept the changes I have made and to celebrate that as a fact. It's okay for me to defend myself...stand up for myself when other's try to still that victory I did not need them to validate in the first place. Go back to the vision. Learn to be okay saying no to people. Your time is worth being spent on you being a better you Value your goals, honor your time and your God given vision. You have an assignment. Another year to see is a blessing. Another day, min, sec to work and accept the fact that you are more than enough is what I have learned. Let the problems from deviating from your plans serve as proof...that it is better to stick to the vision. Sow seeds in the vision. You can not question the goals and dates you set. Just do what it takes to plug back in.
