Challenges...oh those pesky little things we call Challenges. Originally my title for this post was timing but as I sat down to begin typing the post I realized that I really didn't have anything on timing. Now these last couple of weeks were bad and although I had a really hard time I've came out of those challenges for the better.
First and the far worst were the challenges of work. I ended up with a lot of work to do. I had to focus which for a while I wasn't. The focusing came at a time where I felt like nothing could ever be fix that no matter what I did I was nothing but a stupid person. Now I know what your all going to say and yes I am very hard on my self. I had people on my left and right telling me how to do this and how to do that. That is the hardest part. Then I also had people on the other end asking me why I really want a higher position in the company. I won't go into much detail about that I'll save that for another post.
My second challenge these past few weeks have been with family. Most of the time I work night shifts and I'm rarely don't get home before close to midnight depending on the night. I don't always get my stuff done until Thursday which is my usual day off. I came to a big life decision that day now I just have to go after it. Usually during the summer months I take off Wednesdays or just add Thursday to my regular line up to my schedules.
My third challenge has been trying to get out of my comfort zones. You see I'm a texter. It is usually best if you text me or I text you. Calling people unless your family is not my strong suit. Heck I hate calling the car company for my car bill it's not fun. Most of the time I don't need to now cause I pay the whole thing off. I'm slowly getting under the 10,000 mark not there quite yet but it's getting there.
All those challenges are just the tip of the iceberg or as a coworker of mine said it's a rock that I just keep chipping away at. Slowly but surely I'm getting there This past weekend I went to a business builders conference in Michigan and learned a lot. I learned that fear was the only thing holding us back from the potential we all had. Another thing I was humbled by some of the things they said. I don't always follow though with everything I say I'm going to do. Heck my sister had to keep reminding me about a claim I had to put in. There's a lot of things that I learned and I'm definitely know that my ideas are going to be put into use. How though I don't know I'll figure it out I always do.
There are many more challenges ahead and I can't wait to charge at them and see what I can accomplish with them. Until then I'll face everyone I arrive at. One day all these challenges will lead to something great and I can't wait.
As always until next time,
Lupe
