the pressures of being blessed

my family and friends are kick ass!
why?
not only do they follow their dreams but support mine.
yeah, we all have people who support us, but i need to acknowledge my support group (aka “team intervention”) for going above and beyond the call of duty. they offer more than a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen.
many have and most would give me their last dime to support me in my journey to be a great mom and wildly successful business woman. (my definition, not theirs)
but that support comes with a bit of pressure.
it’s not anything they do or say (like expecting it in return – because i know they give from the heart). it’s a pressure i place on myself. i continuously push myself (often times to exhaustion) because i don’t want to let them down.
i’m well aware that there are too many people in this world who would kill for my support group. so:
- i cherish and hold them close to my heart
- i get up every morning and make business calls that i don’t always want to make
- i put off splurging on most of my wants
- i find alternatives to fill my needs
- i donate my time to help others figure things out (more often than i used to)
sometimes it gets hard and i want to give up, but i’ve come too far, jumped too many hurdles and won too many wins to give up.
because of their blessings i go on another day. because they believe in me, i can’t stop believing in myself.
i love you all more than you’ll ever know.
