Post #2
Today I have the amazing opportunity to be in the delivery room as my BFF Jill Hair
delivers her second son, Hunter! So many emotions are running through
my heart and mind today. Almost two years ago, Jill, my sister and my
mom were in the very same hospital welcoming my son into this world.
Those three women were the only things that kept me sane during the
hardest time in my life. Today seems like the perfect day for me to
talk about the importance of knowing your WHY!
You might think it’s cliché when we say you must know your why, but hear me when I say, you don’t just need to know your why, your why needs to burn so deep that it is what keeps you going when you don’t want to because you are afraid of what will happen if you quit!
My why is my son! He is the reason I suck it up, make no excuses and work this business. Because of the hand I was dealt, he started life with an unfair advantage. I LET his dad give up his rights, with that came no help, no support, no father figure, nothing but heartache! BUT, there is no way in my power I am going to let my son suffer because of the decisions I made! I cannot and will not look at him, ever, and tell him that this business was too hard for me to change our futures! If your why is not powerful enough to overcome excuse after excuse, then you haven’t found a why that burns enough! Go and find it….NOW and tell your upline your why so they can remind you about it when you start making excuses. I guarantee you that Ashley will remind me of mine if I ever need her to. But, the great thing about having a why that burns, is that you don’t need anyone to remind you about it because it is always burning!
Your why, is your why, no one else’s, but you must have it. Whether it’s because you are sick and tired of having bill collectors call you, or you are full of guilt because you don’t have the time to be the parent you want to be, or you know you are done just surviving and are ready to thrive, you must know your why! Keep asking yourself why until you feel overcome with emotions and then you will have your burning why! Write it down, post it everywhere, and let others hold you accountable!
If your why doesn’t burn, it’s not deep enough! I challenge each of you to find your BURNING WHY, not just your why. There is a difference! If you can’t figure it out on your own, ask God to place it on your heart…trust me, He will, and He will let it burn!
