Are You in Denial of Your Reality?

When the economy took a hit I decided I was off travelling the world to greener pastures

I left my business to a friend to look after my clients while I was away and they made a balls of it.

I arrived home 3 months later to see that the whole world was up shit creak and not just Ireland.

I had no car, no money and no clients.

I made a few phone calls and managed to get some of my loyal clients who had been with me prior to me leaving for my travels to come back and train with me again.

I managed to scrape together enough money to buy a shite box car with a leaky ceiling when it rained heavy.

To top it off I was also in debt that I could not pay as I was barely making enough money to pay for the weekly shop for my partner and I.

Thank God my partner had a job at the time as I remember not for as long as long as a week at a time and staying in bed all day feeling depressed and sorry for myself.

I made EXCUSES for why I was in my current reality instead of DOING something about it.


What Excuses do you  make?

What reality do you ignore?

Things came to a head when I had not got enough money one evening to bring my girlfriend and I to the cinema let alone a night out with dinner..

So I sucked it up and sought employment in a local gym.

 I was very intimidated being back in the work place again but at the same time it felt great to be back doing what I loved and I was making money again.

One year went by then another and I realised I had gone back to the start so the natural thing would be now to have another crack at going out on my own.

With great FEAR I handed in my notice and left two weeks later.

That was a year ago and I have gone from strength to strength in my personal and professional life.

BUT BUT BUT...

Right now I'm sitting in my car at the side of the road because I ignored the reality that my car might not make it all the way home because it needed Diesel.

My excuse?

I just didn't bother filling up my car even though it needed to be.

Lazy bastard syndrome I call it.

I will now be late collecting my lovely pizza I have at the weekend and it's going to be cold!!!

I learned my Lesson

When will you learn yourself?
