I forgot it was Monday!
Sept 30th, 2024
Pete has been visiting family for the past 4 days, so it has just been me and the pups. Secretly, it feels like a mini vacation but of course, I won’t let him in on that thought! Sometimes, when it is quiet, or on a holiday, I will find myself working. It is a creative time for me or at least one that allows me to think without interruption. This weekend was that kind of weekend, with properties being full, Pete being out of town and our summer guest list dwindling.
So, this morning, Monday, I wasn’t in a rush and I sent out a few quick texts to my girlfriends and family before I left for the office. When I sent a few photos of my beautiful fur babies, Dagny and Mick, to a friend, I said I was sending her some Puppy Love and asked how she was doing. Her response was ‘OK for a Monday.’ I didn’t even know it was Monday! Her response made me sad because it sounded so depressed and lonely. I remember when I used to work for someone else. Pete used to say that I made Sunday’s miserable for both of us as I would get so down about having to go back to work on Monday. Needless to say, I didn’t love what I did, wasn’t contributing at the level at which I felt like I was put on this earth to do and certainly didn’t feel appreciated. Honestly, I hadn’t tapped into those feelings in ages as thankfully, I have been ‘unemployable’ for years!
That little text made me realize how grateful I was for my 12 Pillars. How I used them to go from having $200 and no job to building a multi 7 figure business. It made me grateful of the wealth that I have created and how it now gives me time and money freedom. And mostly, grateful that I didn’t have to know it was Monday because I make my own days of the week. That is so powerful. Mindset and Heartset together are the first pillar because without this, the others are for naught. If you don’t have your mind and your heart in the right place, doing the right thing for the right people, then what is the point?
I of course replied that it can only go up from here and that I was so grateful for her. It changed her outlook immediately and allowed me to make a tiny indent of an impact on a day I didn’t even know was a Monday. You are all awesome and amazing. Each of you is a ‘W.I.N.-Her’ and I hope you can create all your own days of the week!
