www . newellstrength . com www . unlockingyourinnerstrength . com While I was out at the river a half hour ago with the pups , I was reflecting .
I was reflecting because I was going over my visualization that I go through every morning .
And while I was visualizing the newsletter for Unlocking Your Inner Strength , I said to myself , ‘ You are going to fail at first and it is not going to be perfect at first ( it never will be ). And you may not know what exactly it ’ s going to be about . You do not know where the subscribers will come from . And that ’ s ok .’
Why is it ok ? Because I know the why . Yes , there are many what ’ s to be determined and worked out , but what ’ s are logistics . The why is your vision . And it ’ s your vision that will set your sails and keep you moving forward .
This applies to your life in many ways . Let me use some non-business related stories from my past that might help you connect the dots .
Devon and I recently found our dream home . I had pretty much given up on the idea of finding our dream home in our town of Hillsborough . Yes , I was going to settle . Not like me , but I had resigned to that fact .
Let ’ s actually go back a half a year prior . This is not something that many people know , but Devon and I had planned our vacation to Wyoming and Idaho that summer because we were contemplating seriously moving out there .
We both love nature and we don ’ t like crowded areas . I was a bit burnt out from my role at Newell Strength and we were looking for something new . By the time the trip came around , we had backed off a bit on the idea since we were weighing the pros and cons of leaving our families and friends behind . We loved the trip but had decided to stick around a bit longer in the Hillsborough area .
A few months later , in October of 2016 , we were driving to her parent ’ s house for brunch when we saw an open house sign . Devon looked it up and asked me if we could go look at it on our way back home . She was pregnant with number 2 at that point and we had decided we would be waiting to the spring time to look for a house ( we were in a town house ).
So , we go down the street that the house was on and the owner was out front working on the garden . I took one look and thought , ‘ This doesn ’ t look like an open house ’. I drove by slowly and then proceeded to take off .
We made it to the end of the street before Devon begged me to go back . I did and thank God I did .
We met the owners and took a look around . It was situated on a hill side , very quiet and serene and there was a large creek in the back ! All the years I have lived in Hillsborough and I never even knew this street existed . Yet , it had all the qualities we were going to move out to Idaho for and it was right in our own back yard !
