Circle of Trust
For my COT, I want to start with this quote “The strongest steel is forged by the hottest fire.”
I went through my crap over the past two years and had kept focusing on getting through and had a pretty good year of accelerating in 2022 but I have found that you can never forget the lessons that you have learned on your journey. I thought that I had been through all of my fires so to speak and lately have been reminded that live will always throw you ups and downs.
Yesterday, I was presented with the news that my main helper on my team at work was leaving the company leaving me without help for the short term. I also received a message from my ex telling me about what I will have to contribute for my oldest’s college which is more than I can afford, my youngest is not coming with me for Christmas, my niece is in town and wants to move her stuff right now and needs my help and few other things. I was on the verge of letting it take me down that rabbit hole and letting me dwell and worry about things out of my control. I was getting upset and I caught myself. I stopped and meditated using a guided meditation online. I refocused and it did not take me down the rabbit hole. I kept my head about me. That is the preparedness that we talk about in F3. My journey through hell taught me a few things and I recognize how I have improved catching myself on a very very shitty day. I calmed myself and can work through all of the things. There is always a solution. I am fucking Foundation.Just remember – there is always a solution. No matter how shitty things get. Just remember that. Worrying about things outside of your control just wastes time that you can use towards working on things in your control. Peace bitches!
