![]() When we did have time to talk it was more than likely with like-minded collaborators and colleagues. Think about it, as we were working towards the qualifications that opened this avenue of opportunity for us, we didn't have time to talk on it because we were still developing this skill. When we are splitting our attention, we lose focus. There are many interpretations of this saying, but my favorite is it’s hard to be both an observer and the person talking. KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY YOU PUT INTO GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY There's a saying that goes: "Those who know, do not speak. Now I'm not saying we need to be completely secretive about what we're doing, but keep in mind: it's okay to omit information for our better good as we are working on ourselves and our goals. We also don't know who is wishing on the same exact opportunity as us, and we just happened to put it in their line of vision. This may be because they are coming from a place of lack or low vibration. When we announce things before we have secured them, we sometimes fail to consider who may be wishing against us. I'm sure some of you are thinking: "Why wouldn't people be happy for me? I'm always genuinely happy for people when good things happen to them." The truth is, not everyone who may come across the news on your timeline is genuinely happy for you. But to us, it's our life, and it's embarrassing to announce something just to have it fall short. They will be there applauding us all the way through. They want to hear all the news we're willing to surrender. They become committed emotionally to seeing all the things that come along with the storyline: plot twist, drama, and climax. DON'T TELL STRANGERS YOUR BUSINESS People love a good story. ![]() Because what feels better? Saying you're going to go get it, or coming through once you've already gotten it. We will definitely touch on that later but right now, this is about you and how we can go from premeditation to action. Family, friends, and colleagues have a very important place in your success and happiness. Now, this does NOT mean don't collaborate. The truth is, no one really needs to know what we are in the process of seeking until it's secured. This means we keep it shush until the key is in our hand, the offer letter has been received, or whatever qualifies you meeting this goal is set in stone and nothing can change that. Remember, discipline is a form of self-love. This does not mean people are not weighing us well, it’s just a good segway to saying don't jynx yourself by talking about the opportunity until the opportunity has been secured! No matter how much it's welling up inside, we have to keep our own secrets as we work. In doing the action of announcing things, we already sign up to have our value or other perceptions of our value compared to the opportunity. There is no coincidence when we announce something prematurely and it doesn't happen. So don't get distracted! There is no need to see what others are up to when you are just beginning to immerse yourself in a new opportunity. It’s always good to keep in mind, your journey is your journey and social media is just a place where people show their highlight reels. It also prevents us from being discouraged by seeing others who may be a bit farther in what we are just starting. By staying off our phone during the beginning stages of our new projects, we allow ourselves to be fully present and immersed in the opportunity. We tend to distract ourselves online with the prize portion of what we are interested in, forgetting that we need to really solidify it for ourselves first. Oftentimes when we become inspired, we begin searching for validation. So how can we begin to move in silence when we live in a culture that believes: "If you didn't post it, did it even happen?" This applies to any project, purchase, job, relationship, or event that can turn the fate of your life. ![]() Well, Sis, buckle up because we are going to talk about the importance of moving in silence! What is moving in silence? Moving in silence is taking actions and steps to work on something bigger in your life without announcing its progress. Confused and/or frustrated, we start thinking about what we could have done differently. We may even make a little post about it, feeling we already have it in the bag, so why not do a little flex? Next thing we know, after all the shared excitement, things don't follow through like we thought. Our peers entertain the "Whens", "Hows", and the "What Ifs", sounding delighted to hear our news. We open ourselves to outside perspectives while also letting them know what this could mean for us. We know we have all of the qualifications for said opportunity so we excitedly call on our closest friends or family to share the news. An opportunity that sounds perfect suddenly arises, or we finally get news on something we've been wanting.
