Fix it Jesus. No, You Fix It.

There are just somethings in this life you have to take by the horns and fix it yourself. I waited until the last minute to resolve an issue. I sought wise counsel and I got great, but mixed advice. I thought I saw the right thing to do or was it that I saw what I wanted to see? I thought I felt the right thing to do, but it was too hard to do. I was vexed in my spirit for two weeks! I knew all along what had to be done. I only wish I would have done it sooner.

The lessons and reminders for me are:

• Leadership requires making hard decisions sometimes
• This wasn’t a Fix it Jesus moment. This was a moment of growth in my journey. It was very uncomfortable. I had to work through that emotionally and I am still working through that.
• Vibes and energy are important. If you don’t feel it or them, if they do not feel you, just don’t mix it with business or pleasure. People are responsible for the energy they bring to you and you are responsible for yours. You can put out good energy and they can still bring their weird or bad vibes. What are you going to do?
• If you are in business, you should bring good energy and vibes. You are providing a service, but people are paying you for it. Why would you bring bad juju? 😀
• You are not asking for a favor, you are acquiring a service. (wise counsel)
• Keep it short, don’t go into detail if you feel they won’t be receptive anyway, and keep it professional. (wise counsel)
• They told you how they felt about you through actions and attitude. It’s okay to do what you need to do. (God, Holy Spirit)
• This helped to decipher if I were being sensitive or if this was my GUT speaking. Hence, feeling vexed versus hurt feelings. My gut was practically screaming!
• You know what energy you want to bring to an event. You know your audience. Trust yourself to cut what doesn’t flow.
