Remembering why

Remembering why

Since starting WA I have logged on every day to do training and work on my website. I have been so proud of myself. The last two days though, I have been slacking. Last night when I went to bed, I was being really hard on myself for it. Then I heard a voice in my head asking "Why? Why are you getting down on yourself? Why did you start with WA in the first place? Why do you want to continue?"

Well, let me answer those questions. I was getting down on myself because I had had a rough couple of days. My emotions were all over the place. I had lost a very dear friend suddenly two days prior. The same day, they also admitted a family member into the hospital in unstable condition. Am I telling you this for sympathy? Absolutely not. I am telling you this because it leads into the next question.

I started WA originally because I wanted a place to express myself. After getting into the training, I realized that I really liked it and there was income potential. This is the reason I upgraded to premium. I realized I could do this and not have to answer to anyone but myself. Like most, I expect a lot more out of myself than others. Hence, me working 7 days a week on training and the website. But, I also wanted the freedom to be there for friends and family if they needed me.

Do I want to continue? ABSOLUTELY! I have not felt this alive since I started this journey. I have met some wonderful people and have learned so much in just a few weeks. I am still trying to find a schedule that works for me, but I am really enjoying myself.

If you are having a rough day, just remember your why! It will put everything into perspective and be right with the world again.
