Yep! Im flying over Virginia heading back to soflo and my mind is like a well oiled engine. The silence and large first class seat makes for a breathing ground to get creative. I have some projects coming up that will fit nicely with my 60 day action plan to get MatchPoint off the ground. I am finally finally taking steps to break away from making other people's problems my own and truly begin to focus on me! Its a selfish thought but it has to be done. I have to be selfish inorder to help others in the future. The only thing I have riding on Matchpoint is the faith in my abilities and God. Thankfully, I have folks in my life that are supporting me from behind the scenes and they too are a part of the master plan. As I post this while in mid air I look at what God has created for us to be the best we can be. I'm dreaming big but dreams without actions are just that..dreams...
On this calm Saturday afternoon I began to reflect on my past, as I had been feeling a little inadequate lately. Growing up in the Caribbean was not easy, but it instilled values in me that shaped who I am today. For example, folks look at me and always make the assessment that I work so hard but, to me this is normal or natural. Executing on any task you've decided to take on is just part of the job and we worked hard till it was done right. Whether its was making ice cream to sell on the road for sunday churchgoers or washing white clothes by the river or cleaning nutmeg for sale...we did it right no matter how long it took. Now, my aforementioned topic stems from the fact that lately I've lost some of that zeal, and have replaced it with procrastination and excuses. Thinking back to my childhood reminded me of the following
1. Pray about it
2. Mediocrity is unacceptable
3. Execution with excellence is the make or break factor
4. Take what you get, until you get what you want
5. Always be grateful because someone right now is worst off
I have some big plans for my life and lately I have had difficulty in all of the above, because i'm hitting roadblocks. When I reflect on all we have been through and how strong I am, I feel ashamed for even becoming discouraged.
Yep! Its easier said than done but, we have to always try to go back to basics and see how far we've come when, you see yourself falling back or slacking off.
As someone said; you dont know where you are going until you know where you came from.
Go back to basics, be humble and go be great!
Talented and the coolest cat! Look at his awesome work...big up to slim city too heheh
