THE SILENT PERIOD
Wednesday
22 August 2012
I
was just thinking, as an entrepreneur or someone who is paving your own
path do you ever hear about the the silent period? does anyone ever
tell us or prepare us for the silence in-between the wins, the
successes, the breakthroughs. Literally where the phone doesn't ring,
no-one comes to visit you, the emails are restricted to the websites you
have subscribed to. The loneliness, wow. You have to fight those
thoughts, the feelings of rejection and realise it's your testing and
preparation period, you must indeed learn to monitor your thoughts and
lift yourself up. All truly great men and women go through this. An
Eagle has a period when it pull it's talons out and sits on the top of a
mountain somewhere hidden from sight, and waits for new claws/talons to
grow back. This ofcourse is a dangerous and vulnerable time for this
mighty bird, but once it survives that it comes back stronger and more
powerful! This is not a good time to get into a relationship or make
major decisions until you win the mental fight for your strength. Don't
operate from weakness or desperation. This is why it's important to have
a schedule from when you wake-up, knowing that whatever happens, you
excersise in the morning, you read, you rehearse, you write etc
preparing for the suddenly to happen, because trust me it will happen
suddenly. Suddenly some company will give you the contract, suddenly you
will meet the love of your life, suddenly you will be met with a
life-changing event, suddenly someone will bring you good news. This is a
good time to fight the good fight of faith, no-matter how it looks,
NEVER say die, never speak of failure or the possibility of it, Only
keep speaking success, ignore what you are seeing and sometimes feeling,
keep speaking abundance, command the phone to ring, call in those
orders!
Here is wisdom: In returning & rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength Isaiah 30:15

Nonku you one of the strongest women that i have ever come across in Mzansi.
ReplyDeleteyes your beauty is undisputed indeed, but what strikes me the most about you, it’s your inner strength as young independent woman.
Never let go of your energy and positive spirit.
