I dare you to fight- To finish strong in this last quarter of 2018! Yeah you girl! Listen it’s the last quarter of t2018 and this is the perfect time where it seems as if you should just give up! Sometimes we look at our goals that we have set and see that things are not where we want them and say “We’ll the Mew Year is just ahead, I’ll start at the beginning of the year”. This is the time to challenge yourself to complete every goal that you have set out in your mind. Nothing gets me fired up more than a challenge or dare! So for the last quarter, I just told myself: I DARE YOU TO FIGHT!
I remember back when I was in college; one of the times when my major was liberal arts, education and nursing in the first semester. Don’t judge me honey, I got that degree about seven years and 1,000 degree changes later. Girl, I had a particular class (no names needed smh, lol) and I was clearly failing however it was enough time to make a turnaround if I buckled down and focused on the task at hand. But instead I created my own negative ending instead of working hard for a positive outcome. I gave up on the middle of the catastrophe and chaos instead of making my way through the storm. If I would have challenged myself and dared myself to fight for a good grade I for one would not have had to retake said class over again! Sometimes you have what it takes you just need a reminder!
So, here are 5 ways to keep fighting in this last quarter!
1.Mind Your Business: I know that sounds so blunt but I’ve learned to focus on the business that carries purpose to it and specifically mine. Sometimes we don’t realize how much time we consume with others success of their failures, so much to the point that we neglect the process of our own story. I’ve learned how to put more emphasis on my business and less worrying about others. It doesn’t mean you can’t support others it just means you keep your focus on your purpose.
2. Don’t Quit in the Middle of But: But, I don’t have enough money, But no one will support me, But I don’t know how to do it, But I have so much on my plate now. I’ve learned even in the middle of BUT…there will always be a BUT GOD! If he gave you the vision he will give you provision if you take a chance and forget every BUT that prevents you from taking that next step.
3. Research! Study! Connect! I’m a firm believer in “Google” and research. A lot of times we have a vision or dream in our heart but don’t have the knowledge to make it happen. Baby it’s not going to drop down from the ceiling. Perfection comes from practice. Study and gain all the knowledge you can. I mean you can look the part but make sure you shut it down with the knowledge you possess. And after you research connect with like minds. This is one of the reason that I developed Hello Purpose. A place where girls and women can be empowered, inspired and grow into their purpose. Even as I continue to grow and learn my brand, Hello Purpose Women’s Empowerment Soirée is expanding to be a place where we can level up together! So stay tuned! (Hint, Hint – Everything that the Purpose Squad has asked for is being put together now – High Five)
4. Don’t let your past or current mistakes keep you bound: I remember one time when I was going through a difficult time, I had someone threaten me with what I was currently going through. Now, I’ll be there first to admit from the outside it looked terrible but from my perspective it was my truth and my feelings. Sometimes you honestly can not help certain situations due to emotions that are attached, however at a certain time I had to look at the person and situation and say this will not keep me bound, depressed or oppressed. Ive learned not to allow my past or what I am going through keep me from my destiny. Listen whatever is meant to be will always be, therefore your past as well as every situation and circumstance in your life is meant to build a greater person!
5. GO ONE AND BE GREAT – WITH YOUR PINK!: One way that I feel like I can conquer the world is by putting on tulle and leather. Its something about me wearing a layered tool skirt and leather jacket that makes me feel good! I just scream to myself Girl you FINE AS FINE! I feel chic and edgy all at the same time. Find you that one outfit that makes you feel fabulous and rock out! Because I am the queen of tulle, I had to find a way to up my season of tulle & leather collection. In my quest, I found this darling cute tulle skirt that had layers upon layers of tulle. To change things up, this tulle skirt had a silk ribbon bow attached to it which I just tied to the side. For my jacket, I found some inspiration from Pinterest and had my own version created by adding studs and beautiful pink flowers on one side of the jacket! Chile….FABULOUS!
Listen pooh, its the last quarter and I am here to encourage you to finish strong! I know its hard and it may even seem like things are not going the way you you think they should go, but keep going! There still some fight in you and I promise! What are some goals that you plan on fighting for?

Hunni all I can say is YES!!! I felt like a failure for years, I had 2 motivation my son & my son son’s Dad oh! & my twin (who was murder). I didn’t see the winner in me. I took care of everyone else and not me. I went through stupid relationship and dating issues only hurting myself when I knew better. I went to pharmacy Tech school only to graduate with a 3.8 GPA but didn’t further my certification. Now here I am 30 plus working now a desk job (which I don’t mind but it’s really not my thing).
All this time having a relationship with God but realizing now I was being selfish to him. Now! I’m at this desk job and an older woman but very hip woman whom I’ve became closely acquainted with gave me a pepp talk in the middle of the our work station and it(right along with my son’s Dad pepp talk) and this I said to myself it’s time for me to something for me and make me truly happy. I started over this pass winter buying me clothes and not just plain safe clothes but clothes that I love that are fashion forward…
I’m now engage to my son’s father(after our silliness of stupidity we did to each other over the years), we wasyed years that could have been anniversaries(that’s another story)… All to say when I gotten on IG this morning(10/15/2018) your post was the 1s1st thing I saw and I agreed with all you said. I don’t personally don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions but starting when it’s right for you. That time is RIGHT NOW!! For me.. I will be getting my health back right and wearing the heck out of some tulle skirts lol… Just want to say THANK YOU???????????
First off YAAAAAAASSSSSS POOH! Your time is now…it’s time to walk further in your purpose! I’m excited for you! And twirl your way right there
