“Do no harm, but take no shit” has been my motto this week and it’s only Tuesday. For the past 36 hours I have been forced to check my ego (multiple times I might add), attempt to not allow my temporary emotions take away from the bigger picture/right answer in the long run, while also trying to manage my sanity, business and personal life. I have also only had three pieces of chocolate in all of the chaos I may inform you which is quite impressive. Being a business owner is fun, exciting and rewarding however there are things that come with a business that aren’t always fun. Between my fiance and me, we own three businesses and I do the book work for all three. Empowered Living Company is so easy in regards to legality’s. Unless someone tries to sue me for sore quads, I think I’m gonna be OK. This week in our other businesses, I have had to practice holding my own. I have been put in uncomfortable situations because of what I value, what I want for mine and Tony’s future and because well in all honesty, it’s the smart thing to do financially. I’m learning through this journey of mine that sometimes you have to hold firm even when it would be easier to give in because you know in the long run it’s the right choice. I am also learning the first part of my motto this week is not just about not doing harm on others, but also not doing harm on yourself because your ego got to big, your emotions ran wild, or because you were afraid of disappointing somebody. The “do no harm” includes all parties involved, especially yourself. And let me tell you, you can take no shit and still use your manners. Yesterday I grew, I evolved and I changed into what I would say is an even better version of myself and all because someone reminded me of my power. I am so grateful for the space I have been able to create not only to help others find their power but also to allow others to help me find my power when it gets buried at times. We might be a bunch of sweaty people in a garage, but holy shit balls are we changing each other’s lives!
Do no harm but take no shit people!
