The Return Of The Prodigal Son

Dear WA Family!

THIS IS NOT AI-GENERATED CONTENT (Nope! Not even spell or grammar correction - LOL)! I'm only using AI for image generation for this blog post.

This post is a follow up of my yesterday's post, and if you missed yesterday's post, you can read it here.

After all the lessons I learned the hard way. I'm focusing and sticking to the basics.

Redoing WA Core Training

I'm redoing WA CORE training. Completed Phase 3 and now in the Phase 4 second lesson. When we are out of form in sports, coaches always advise us to follow the fundamentals and stick to the basics to regain our rhythm. That's what I'm doing now.

Investing More Time In Our WA Community

To avoid distractions, to stay focused and to surround myself with like-minded people and to motivate myself, I'm investing more time within the WA platform. Reading posts, blogging daily, reading others' questions and answering them if I can, taking advantage of the training on other topics, watching Jay's webinars, etc.

I don't want to allow unwanted things into my mind, and I'm going to be very cautious about what I watch, read, engage with and even what I think about. Our thoughts will MAKE us or BREAK us!

I'm Forgiving Myself

First, I need to come out of the mindset that I ruined everything (that's the truth), and I need to come out of that mess. I need to focus on rebuilding my online business and forgive myself.

This is not an END, and it's just the BEND!

Second Chance

Not everyone gets a second chance, and this is the very, very important phase of my life. I need to play it wisely and with great discipline. I hope and strongly believe this is going to be a great comeback in my life.

Documentation & Sharing My Journey

I'm planning to share everything I do... My plans, progress, learnings, etc. To record it, to keep it as accountability, to encourage myself and a few others.

So, the son is back!

God helps only those who help themselves!

Do I need to focus on anything else? Am I missing any important piece here? Please let me know your valuable thoughts in the comment section below.

GOD Bless!

Your Friend,

Paul
