DISTRACTED ?!?! ...


We have all been there before. Rather it was just a moment in time or a year that just flew by, distractions are inevitable and no matter how focused we are, it happens.
Writing this blog post is a bit different from my previous posts, typically I like to write from the conquered space rather the “its happening to me” space, but because it was so heavy on my heart, I am distracted and I am writing about distractions. While I don’t want to talk you out of being distracted, I do want to persuade you to be decided and focused so the distractions that come are less impacting.





With that being said, we are in the most intense time of our lives, we have ample amount of time but so little time. We have resources but so little resources, there is such a duality of the space that we are in and imperative that we maximize our focus so that we are less distracted.
I keep throwing that word around, but I want to add some context. Over the past year, I have been creating, doing two podcasts, working, working out, finishing my masters and just being human that when I took one step left, I found myself off the beaten track. Everything was jumbled, the schedule that I used to know was now filled with improperly placed people, in improperly placed spaced. In layman’s terms, I met a man and found myself distracted.
So for all my people who found love, I am not saying that love itself is a distraction but I am saying love, jobs, re-connections with the wrong person, place or thing is. So, how do you determine if you are distracted? Its simple in a really complex way, look at where you want to be and size it up with those around you. If they are encouraging your pursuit to happiness and purpose, than you are in the right place but if they do not and they only find ways to pull you further away, ie by offering things that could damage what you are trying to build, well my friend you are distracted.
No matter if its life, love and or relationships, every person have a circle that influences purpose. With that being said, there is a few other circles that do the complete opposite. I wish I could tell you that this live would be lived without people, but that would be a lie. Point is, in life you need to focus on the things that you want out of life, and people can either help you move that agenda forward or keep you stagnant. Do not be deceived, distractions come in many forms and they cause delay and dissatisfaction. Do all that you can to keep your focus., your future depends on it.

Until next time,
Shameless

Just a Shameless Leader ...

We've all been there before. Whether you were the new leader on the block feeling out of your depth with unfamiliar personalities, or you were the team member being led by someone who seemed equally lost, the struggle is real. At the end of the day, being in position is less about having the right qualifications and more about feeling qualified. In a workforce that values titles, appearances, and fitting in, it can be incredibly difficult to feel qualified within our complete identity. So what's the resolution? On one hand, there isn't one if we're unwilling to admit that our feelings don't always dictate how we should show up. But if you're here reading this newsletter titled "Just Another Shameless Leader," then you already know how those big, messy emotions can spill into our professional lens and completely shift how we see our day. Welcome to your new safe space. "Just a Shameless Leader" is the best kind of leader, in my opinion. This ...

My Head Hurts...

I t was just two days before Christmas and my love interest and I had just decided to spend Christmas morning together. No fault of his own, it was completely my idea and he complied. Moments leading up to his arrival, I had the jitters but decided that this would be the day that I would share my intentions. Rightfully so, I have expressed time and time again on both the blog and the podcast to go after what you want.

Talking to Strangers in Un-strange Ways...

 Hello Family and Friends, I hope you are well and preparing for the season change ahead. Of course, there are many other things to prepare for, but in my effort to encourage you to do something different I would like to put one more thing on your mind. As you know, I am blessed to work in an environment that allows me to travel to different states each week. While I am hardly home, I have the pleasure to work with people from different walks of life, different life trials, and more importantly people who look differently from me. This for some can be difficult, but for me, I have found a way to talk to strangers in un strange ways.
