This week started with a power outage.

Sunday, the Internet went out in our area wide and far.

Determined to attend every class session live, I drove until I found reception and attended class on my phone in the nearby parking lot of a Starbucks.

I wasn’t able to print out the chapter outline or any way to take notes, so I just took screenshots and listened very closely.

This was the week that we prep to do everything with the shapes. Printing out 24 pages of sale of shapes in various stages.

I’m finding it very challenging to keep up with the daily protocols and I haven’t been able to do the Press Release blog yet.

For the longest time, I was never able to see a future for myself.

I would look out towards the future and I would see nothing but darkness.

As I worked through each phase of life, including marriage, my abilities to see my future did not improve.

2024. I began to see my future in great detail.

Based on the recommendation of one of my coaches, I joined Think & Grow Rich 12 week class followed by the Master Key Experience (MKE).

Determined to plan a future for myself filled with joy and shape it the way I wanted it, I jumped in with both feet to both of these multi week classes.

Nothing was going to determine me from implementing what I was learning each week.

Now it is week six and I am behind in the coursework.

I’m not giving up.

I am committed to showing up each week to the live session on camera and doing the homework.

I even have two accountability buddies in the group, two students I knew before joining MKE, And we keep each other encouraged, and on track as best we can.

Bottom line it comes down to my choices: am I choosing to take the time to get caught up and understand the assignment assignments or not?

The answer is of course I’m gonna do the assignments no matter how long it takes!

And this is not about perfection!

It is about learning the lessons, instructed each week and implementing them to the best of my ability, each and every day.

And that looks different each and every day.

And that’s OK.

I’d say the most helpful tool learned thus far is the Gal In The Mirror poem. Repeating that into the mirror in the morning and before bed at night cuts to the quick of the matter instantly.

I am learning so much by doing this exercise of facing myself in the mirror and reciting that poem to myself.

Great accountability!

One thing I’ve really wanted to Improve, is learning to love myself, becoming a self-directed thinker, and living in a self sustaining way.

This MK experience is enabling me to accomplish exactly that.

I’m so grateful to be here.

No matter what the day brings, I’m showing up for my success and doing my absolute best.

Onward!
