Day 4 of WA - The Wall
"Getting knocked down in life is a given. Getting up and moving forward is a choice."- Zig Ziglar
Hello, WA! I hope that this entry finds you all in the best of health and spirit. Although I am only 4 days old in WA, I sincerely hope that this entry in particular helps someone. I had one of them days where I was tired, wrapped up in other things and...I hit the "wall"
Yes. The proverbial WALL!
We have all hit it at one time or another. Writer's Block, lack of motivation, fatigue, frustration, and a plethora of other things that makes you go, "SCREW THIS!" Ladies and Gents, I hit that wall at the mental speed of 125 miles per hour. It's safe to say that I felt dejected. This is where the Zig Ziglar quote comes in. I was surfing Facebook and this quote popped up. That was where I had to "check" myself.
- Am I happy in my current situation?
- Do I want to change?
- Am I willing to ACCEPT change?
- Do I have the means & tools necessary?
- With opportunity in front of me, am I going to let it pass me by?
- Is this just a phase?
I had to look at these factors, dust myself off, and take a breather. There is nothing wrong with taking a breather and stepping back for a second. BUT....you have to get back into it and keep pushing. You will not achieve anything staring at that "Wall" - you have to either walk away from it....or tear it down completely! Seeing as I tore down my "Wall", I am moving forward and back to business I go.
Hope this helps someone as it did me. Thanks for reading.
