When it rains...

It certainly pours around here. I had a really tough day today for the latter part of the day anyway. I found out that I am not going to be a brick and mortar. It really just did not work out. I was trying so hard to make it work and in the end I was the only one trying. My efforts were not good enough. I pulled out with the support of my family. I cried sooo much, tears were streaming down my face like a little child. It felt good to let the tension release. I am now going to be 100 percent committed to this e commerce store. I have all this merchandise! One day I will attempt the brick and mortar again. I need to heal from the disappointment and I need o let my husband and family heal from the trauma of watching me get the crap kicked out of me. They say there is a silver lining to every storm cloud. If I think about this under this light this is what I come up.

*It is better to find out now what could have been disastrous later.
*Maybe I wasn't ready to be a business owner
*Maybe I need to be here for my kids and not immerse myself in my business
*The economy is bad now*I have another purpose in life in which I have not found
*My family needs me home

O.k so I sort of feel better...a little. I am just going to have to get over it. It happened and it is over....Move On!Things that we must tell ourselves when the going gets tough:

1. Everything is really going to be o.k.
2. Have faith that this happened for a reason.
3. learn from your mistakes.
4. Don't dwell on what happened yesterday
5. Take charge of what can happen tomorrow.
6. Remember that you have nothing to prove to anyone
7. Accept change
8. Surround yourself with people that love and support you.
9.Think positive thoughts even if it is hard.
10. Remember it could always be worst; there is always someone, somewhere, where life is more difficult.

I like this list! I am going to read it a few more times.
