Hi All!!!
Before we all break and enjoy the long weekend. I just had to share one of my words of wisdom . A while back I was talking with one of my BFF’s (Raven) about dealing with life’s curve balls. We were venting on how mentally draining it can be handling issues while trying to still live our own life. I told her that I don’t care who goes through what, their situation is not going to mess up my life and prevent me from improving myself. And that's when I exclaimed, "NO ONE IS STOPPING THE SHOW!!!" Don’t get me wrong…. I will be sad, a mess, and/or devastated if something traumatic happens and I will get emotional. BUT I will feel a hot mess while moving on with my life. That’s what you have to do because the clock of life is not going to stop while you are all depressed and down in the dumps.
Well this babygirl had to lie on that sword this year. As I said in a previous post I lost a close friend (Salomon Legend) in March. His death was tragic, abrupt, and it could not have come at a worse time. I worked with Salomon and when he died I along with others had to learn and do his work with the quickness. All the while, everyone is breaking up crying (myself included) and the usual "I knew this person the best so therefore I am the person suffering the most" cattiness and tension brewed. To add more stress to the situation I was training and at this point I DID NOT WANT TO CONTINUE!!! I had to wake up at 4am, workout, go to work, feel like Sugar Honey Iced Tea, and diet. Now, I don’t know about you but when something bad happens I like to treat myself to some comfort food or beverage, but because of my training I couldn’t even do that! I was emotionally done. I wanted to stop everything and just lay in my bed and be depressed and sink my teeth into some oxtails. But I knew I couldn’t. So I continued as if it was business as usual. And when I had to go to work an hour earlier to go to his funeral I didn’t use that as an excuse not to go. I went to the gym an hour earlier (so yeah I woke up at 3:30am) and cried on the mothereffing treadmill, fell off of it, had to go in the bathroom and cry on one of the trainer’s shoulders, and afterwards I marched my ass right back on that treadmill and continued my workout (I burned 350 calories and lifted some heavy ass weights that day too). BECAUSE NO ONE STOPS THE SHOW!!!
And I’m sooo glad I did because it all paid off!!!

So people don’t let anyone’s circumstances effect you and prevent you from improving yourself. Keep on doing what you do because life goes on with or without you!!!
