Is There Ever Enough?

When it comes to your business(es) or position(s) you may hold right now in your business will mean nothing if you die tomorrow and you weren’t present with those who matter the most to you. I say that not to scare you, but to shock you into a reality and to create a “vantage point” for you to think and prepare from daily. When everything we are doing comes to a screeching halt, what will people remember of you??

I know when many people talk about death and grief, the typical thing is to go into a depressive mode because it’s very heavy, but I want to capture the heaviness of this topic and redirect that heaviness into a pressure building activity with you. Diamonds are made from pressure, but instead of shying away from the heaviness with this topic, I want to redirect that heaviness into thinking about these next 2 questions…?

What are you doing in your business(es) or position(s) to create a legacy?

How is what you’re doing today play a part in helping you to create that legacy??

If something or someone is not helping you create a legacy, then they may not be able to come with you in the current chapter you are in. No when I say THAT, don’t go telling people off in your life and tell them I told you to do that. Haha, don’t get me in trouble, ok??

But, when I say that every relationship is not beneficial, I mean it.?

Are the conversations you’re having with people, helping you push forward in creating your legacy personally, professionally, and in every other area of life??

If not, create boundaries for them to meet in accordance to the new standards you are putting in place to remain focused in your growth. There’s no shame in creating a sphere around you that will push you, keep you accountable, and stretch you into new places.?

We all need to be in relationships with others where we Affect them and they don’t INfect us. - Joyce Meyer

When it comes to pruning and making space for new growth, you must make sure to set emotions aside because there is a sense of loss/grief when making room for new people and influences in your life. This is a decision you have got to make for yourself if you want to grow because we only have bandwidth for a certain amount of people to build relationships with others on any given week at a time.?

Relationships take maintenance and there are relationships you can stay in touch several times a year and maintain a level of friendship, but dedicating your energy to those who will push you in those areas is very crucial to what others will remember of you when you’re gone.?

Make sure to make that room or others will decide that for you daily, one decision at a time, and the irony is this…

We all do this unknowingly to others until they tell us differently, so on the other side of the coin - you doing this with others will stop anything from the moment you make the mention of the new boundary. We always do what we know until we know differently and we all need that from the other person, and YOU being “the other person” in this scenario.?

I have not gone live all of this month during #MensMentalHealth Month due to traveling and taking time with my own wife so the shows will begin back again in July.
