Self-Determined …

 

I am awake, I am alive, and this morning I am just so thankful for this self- determined life …
.
I was in my late-40s when I decided. I just didn’t want to do it anymore! I didn’t want to work when someone else said I had to. I didn’t want to “watch what I say”, skirting issues that mattered to me. I didn’t want to put in hours when the task didn’t warrant them.
.
I wanted a life so I set out to build one … along with a business and now, 11 years later, I have no doubt I found the key.
.
Running a business means I can’t half-ass it – ever. I can’t work “whenever”. I can’t give up. I can’t ignore an issue. I can’t let someone else make the decisions (because there literally is no one else to make them). It’s on me. All of it.
.
I decide when I start work and how late I work. I decide which contracts to take, which ones to pass on, and how to find more. I decided how to pivot thanks to Covid and yesterday, I made another important decision and I know it was the right one.
.
And the best part, being self-determined in business led to a self-determined LIFE. I choose what I consume, how much I rest, how much I exercise and you guessed it, the results are all on me.
.
Do I recommend it? Absa-freakin-lutely! I am an author after all and writing my own story – just works. So here’s to you living YOUR life my friend, not a lazy half-ass one but your BEST ONE.
.
It’s in you … if you are determined.
.
I love you! HUGSSSSSSSSSS
