Creating The Foundation with Building Blocks

Remember when you were young sitting in the playroom at the doctor’s office stacking building blocks. Of course you wanted to build the highest tower without it falling. Then your brother or sister comes running over to you and halts right in front of it. The tower you just built begins to sway at the top and then bang, it all collapses just by his or her heavy breathing. Go figure right? I used to get so upset when my sister or cousin did that to me. But hey I gathered them all back up and started building again. I seem to repeat this step with some areas in my life.

They come in all shapes and sizes

Is it a trend?

Some would debate the issue, but as I have gotten older I have realized that it’s ok to start all over. We learn by making mistakes and it teaches us to keep trying until we feel safe, secure and satisfied with our plans. We all have to start somewhere and we all have to fail at some point. See this is what shows us what we are made of. Will it break me? The answer is No. Will it hurt me? The answer is Yes. A great example is when you are first learning to walk, but determined and persistent as you are, you learn to walk. Everytime you fell, sometimes right on your face cause you couldn’t work the hand in front of my face save yet, you still tried to get back up and try again. The trend in this case would be you only learned to crawl and that’s it. Walking involved more muscles and strength.

The key to a good foundation is making sure it’s level. How can my foundation be sturdy and strong if my first blocks are completely unlevel and shakey? That leaves much open for insects, rodents, cracks, water, you name it. My body, mind and soul are all part of my foundation. I have to be strong emotionally, physically and spiritually in order for me to pursue anything I put my mind too. I believe that our personal journey in life gets us balanced at the end. Of course the scale fluctuates on either side because I’m still learning and growing. The Journey is the best part and the most remembered.

It’s A Walk of Balance

Why Is A Leveled Structure Useful?

Being balanced helps us evolve. Everytime we rebuild or build from scratch we go back to the fundamentals that helped frame us. I used this technique when I went back to college as an older adult and earned my degree, when I purchased my first home, when I took my kids to Disney for the first time, when I got my first job and now Sheri’s Dream Catcher. Sure I have things to fix and improve upon both personally and professionally but it’s made me see all the wonderful things I can do and achieve.

Do you feel unbalanced with something in your life? Have you looked at your foundation? What do you need and want to fix?

Technical Difficulty With My Mind?

Having technical difficulty with my mind as I take on a new endeavor. Specifically, starting a new entrepreneur business on my own started to leave me feeling discouraged at first. However, the more I educate and train myself the more I am learning I never knew, I never knew.

Starting a new endeavor can leave you feeling technically lost at first.

For instance, I had decided to start my own blog this past summer. At first, I was so discouraged because their was a lot I needed to learn with starting a blog on the internet. In general, just starting my own blog whether it is for personal journal entries or a new business takes a lot of time to configure your own website. It was my own personal preference to creating my own website. Of course you can hire a professional to do it for you. However for me, that will just add to the start up cost.

How do I start my own blog website on a low budget?

I am not a professional blogger and I am just beginning my new endeavor so why would I just jump into putting a ton of money into something I don’t know works yet. On the other hand, it takes money to make money they say. However, if I am just beginning, I believe that over time and as my knowledge and experience grows, I will be able to add more features into my blogging website. Specifically, I really feel that if I am going to put my best foot forward with creating my own Brand, it is best that I learn how to create my own website. This is just a personal preference.

Working with the technical difficulty of my mind.

Whenever I am contemplating an idea, I tend to talk to myself. For instance I said to myself, “the more I learn how to do on my own, the less money I will have to pay out of pocket down the road”. Again, this is personal preference. On the contrary, my sister likes to pay all the upfront costs and just get it over with so her website would be up and running in no time. As a result, this option allows her more time to just focus on creating and maintaining her brand. I recommend that an individual has the right to pick the option that is best for them and hopefully it won’t break the bank either.

Reflecting on technical difficulties with my mind

In the above photo I took, I was on an airplane on my way to Hawaii for the very first time in my life. Hawaii was a place I have always wanted to travel to since I was a kid. I worked really hard to make my dream come true. However, as I was sitting there pondering over and over again in my head, I started thinking and thinking. Specifically, I was reflecting on my life at that moment.

Critical questions that I asked myself

  • Their has to be more?
  • What am I not doing that I could be doing?
  • What am I good at?
  • What are my skills?
  • What are my talents?
  • What do I enjoy doing?
  • Where do I see myself in 5 years or 10 years from now?
  • What is holding me back?

Committing to one direction or the other

It’s like having one foot in the sand and one foot in the water at the same time. To me this means that you are not fully in the water or fully on the warm sand with both feet or your whole body. A lot of times we go back and forth with our decisions. Specifically we ask ourselves, Do I do this? Do I not do this? What happens if I jump right into the water/project? What happens if I stay on the beach and not go into the water at all? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! I believe it’s normal to have these conflicting thoughts with yourself. Sooner or later we need to commit to one direction or the other. This is something you need to figure out for yourself. No one knows you better than you.
