A quick post before I give myself permission to collapse in a heap!

You know, I firmly believe, everything happens for a reason.
You cannot control how people react to you or your work…but you CAN choose to control how you react to said reactions.
Either….
You can feel really mad/annoyed/misunderstood/etc.
or
You can say, to hell with that…I’m going to blast past my previous work boundaries and utterly master the current challenge, and if you value your health, you’ll get out of my way!
Politics! Argh. I hate them.
The ability not to communicate successfully - hate that too!
But! When it comes right down to it, if you give into the luxury of feeling unhappy, you’re:
- Letting time pass by that could be spent far more productively
- Giving control of your emotions to others
- Being really darned not-smart!!
So! Upon dealing with some negative interactions online, I chose to sit and re-evaluate my current business dealings. I took a long, hard look at where my strengths lie, where my energies should be expended, and how I should attack the future.
The result? Well, you’re looking at one of them - I completely overhauled my blog and look and feel and layout. It’s far more user-friendly and searchable!
AND…I thoroughly took apart several sites online and taught myself the techniques that were being used. You know, it’s truly astonishing how I can pick up anything online if I put my mind to it…. anything I need to do, I can build and create. ’tis a good skill to have.
So I’m currently building another resource that is yet un-named…but it will incorporate everything I’ve learned since 1998 until 3 years in the future. And look out world then!
This really highlights to me the importance of taking ownership of your own emotions and actions. It’s so easy for our kids to say, oh, she made me mad so I didn’t finish my work, or she hurt my feelings so I stopped everything and cried for 2 hours! Poor me!
But you know something? Doing that…is delivering control to people who really aren’t worthy of your time or feelings. So why on earth would you shackle your own abilities this way?
Gosh, if I can teach this to my kids…I will be SuperMom.
I’ve been working non-stop now for several hours, and really have to call it a day. But tomorrow after the gym…I’ll be on fire yet again to make things happen and create miracles for my family. And to think…this energy originally came about with negative emotions….but I chose to re-direct it into something truly special for the future.
You can choose to do this too!
NEVER give others power over you. Never ever. Instead, rely upon your own inner-strength…and declare to the world, you will NOT stop me! I can accomplish anything I choose to do.
Got it? Good!
Night night all,
Barbara
