Remembering Your Reason Why

I just wanted to share with you an experience I had Christmas Day and why it was important to me.

It enabled me to remember my reason why, as I thiink I got of track a little in the last month or so.

It all started with a rocky relationship with my Girlfriend which lead to her breaking it of a few days before Christmas after 18 months.

Unfortunetaly she wanted it all her own way and for me to conform to here dreams which I didn't want to do.

She never understood the work from home concept and my entrepenural instinct and why I never had a job.

I run my websites, sell online and I also have a recruitment business I do from home, I do ok after rebiulding from a marriage seperation that cost me my original businesses 3 years ago I have worked hard to rebiuld.

No Hard Feelings

I respect how she feels and I also understand BUT there is NO WAY I will be side tracked from what I want to achieve and she was doing that by trying to change my path to suit hers with, I might add the best intentions with how she sees her own success path in a corperate role.

It is most unfortunate and yes I'm sad in parts about it but I I have an objective and I need to remain postive in pursuing that objective.

Christmas Day

Christmas day was just me and my boys at home before going on to see the rest of my family in the evening.

Their mother who emigrated to America earlier this year couldn't come over to see them so I hoped they would be ok on the day.

It is rare for my eldest Andrew to come out with us anywhare as he works nights so it was very special to be able to take all three of my boys to my friends bar and have our first beer together well at least with the eldest two! Brandon who's 13 had juice! ha ha

We played pool and laughed and joked and my friend took a photo.

The Photo

Brandon 13, me, James 19 and Andrew 21


This photo right there spoke a thousand words to me as this is not just a photo, this is me with my boys and not until I got home and looked closer at it, did I realise AND remember My reason Why.

I want to provide us with a better life, one that we were used to when their Mum was around, I let someone try and influence me into a different way and while it was done with good intentions and love it created negativety for me.

Christmas day and our visit to my Friends Bar helped to re-focus me and remind me that I have all that I need in this one photo.

I am grateful for what I have and now I can move on and biuld on it with positivety and motivation.

Staying Positive

There are many things that can effect our positive focus and one that is common comes from those who love us.

Stay focused on your goals

Remember Your reason Why

Be Grateful for what you have first or you will NOT grow

Remove negativety - Sometimes it is better to biuld in silence before announcing to your circle what you are doing as those who love us want to protect us but if they do not understand, how can they speak from experience?

Please do not judge me as being harsh over the end of my relationship, I never ended it but I was happy it ended for the reasons I've explained.

Of course there were other factors but the main reason is you cannot fit into another persons plans if they are not willing to understand YOUR goals and dreams as it works both ways.

I see the negative of getting dumped a few days before Christmas as a Positive especially as its the second time in 3 years! :)

Laugh and be happy everyone and I wish you all the very best in 2019 and reading all your successes.


Best Wishes

Darren

Hi Darren,
I'm so happy for you that you spent Christmas with your boys. It sounds like you know exactly what you want in life and that things will work out for the best as a result.
I know exactly why your boys are your 'why'. In fact when you wrote that and shared the photo it made me quite emotional, because my boys are my why also. They are the reason I'm here, trying to make a better life for us. I have a corporate life but I'd like to leave it one day so that I can spend as much as I can at home with them. We only have one life and I don't want to waste it on corporate crap.
You should feel very proud of what you've accomplished and of those boys!
I wish you all the very best Darren, and I hope you have a fabulous 2019!
Cheers

All the best to you as well

Darren

Very logical thinking that will lead to success! Beautiful picture...you have a lot to be proud of.

Happy New Year,
Debbie

Thanks Debbie

Good for you, Darren for accomplishing what you have, knowing what you want in life and not allowing someone else to influence you. Keep working hard and staying positive! All the best to you and your boys in 2019!

Thank you

I will

You have a great attitude. Good for you for sticking with what you need to do; great that you rediscovered your "why." Keep moving forward with your dreams. You are your navigator and the crew as well. You'll be okay.

Well said!

I will thank you

Thanks for sharing, Darren.

No problem roger, I hope you’re well

Extraordinary, Darren.

It is a hard one when two people who care for each other have dreams that do not mesh or are not able to understand and make room in their lives for the other one's dreams.

I agree with you. Remembering your own why and standing for your own dreams helps you to find your own life of meaning and mana.

But, geesh! It sure does hurt sometimes....

Continued good fortune on your journey.

Hi. Netta

No it’s not easy at all that’s for sure

Darren.... sounds a bit like my own story. Wonderful post...this one I save. I just replace sons with daughters but the rest reads like my recent life. We'll keep our home businesses going and growing. No Fear. Thanks for that great post Christmas uplift message :))

Thanks and I'm only a message away, my friend if you ever need to talk.
