Strategy, also, Thanks Hov (2 of 2)

“Let go your ego over your right shoulder”

I fumbled this week.

Here I was, thinking I was in this sweet spot. One that was dab, clear in the middle, realized, and solid.

The universe kindly told me, ”Nah”

There’s an idea in my mind where I think I should be. Places where I assume that I’ll fit, that I’ll adjust, that I’ll stretch and grow into. Life isn’t one size fits all, it’s custom made.

“Nobody built like you, you designed yourself”

The full point of self realization is when one learns to live, learn, and love in their flow. I’m trying to master that. A big obstacle this last quarter of the year is to not stress over things I can’t control. I find it funny I find myself losing grip on things I can control, because I’m distracted and chasing the things that don’t concern me.

“They eyes hide. My eyes wide shut to all the lies”

Why are we like this? Why do we worry about things that don’t bring us joy, passion, zest, and peace? Why is there this programming to just make things harder on ourselves?

Life ain’t gotta be that hard.

So what do I have to do to find this level of balance? And why is balance the goal? Why can’t I just handle everything on my terms?

I control how I approach, deal with, and handle things. I am in control. Autonomy is how I master myself, my thoughts, my vision.

Balance isn’t the goal, strategy is.

How I approach things determine the outcome. Thoughts and planning prior to action.

I planned to write this, versus sitting in my apartment and sulking over the fact that I have to complete a second installment to this talk piece.

I thought about how I’ll tackle this late assignment to a class this weekend because I don’t wanna just sit down, get more frustrated and give up.

There are steps to fully living, thriving, and working in your individual flow.

Everyday, I feel myself trying to stretch further. Attempting to forgo this idea that balance is the thing I’m aiming for. It’s not.

“See how the universe works? It takes my hurt and help me find more of myself. The gift and the curse. That’s called the Red Queens Race. You run this hard just to stay in place? Keep up the pace, baby”

I want to foster a mindset where me being in control is all I need. Keeping at the center my goals for me, the hopes for my husband and future children, and the principles that I stand on.

So to you, reader, 1) I appreciate if you read this and 2) I hope you find ways to implement your own strategy to get to where you want to be. You’re in control, you got this.

“This is God engineering”

Peace and love,
