I found the above photo a few days ago on Facebook and it reminded me of something I recently wrote and would like to now share with you…
Do you remember the previous issue of SistaSense Magazine? Creating the first six issues was truly a personal accomplishment for me, but when the New Year hit production unfortunately stopped. Publishing a complete magazine with a team of one is challenging. But when the task became overwhelming rather than break under the pressure, I decided to simply take a break. I find the word “break” to be one of the most interesting words in the English language. As you and I strive to fulfill our purpose in life, how we each choose to interpret this word can literally make or break us.
On one hand the act of breaking can lead to sadness and destruction. No one wants to be broke or feel broken. No one wants to have to break apart their business or feel weighed down by broken dreams. For obvious reasons, no one wants to break the things they love. However, sometimes the act of breaking is essential. Sometimes we need to break ties with people who hold us back. Sometimes we need a break; an opportunity to arise from somewhere or somebody willing to help us get to the next level. And sometimes we just need a break to relax and plan our next move.
As a mompreneur sometimes I need all of the above and I’m sure you can probably relate. When big ideas turn into projects too big for me to chew I break them down into bite size pieces. And when I can feel the signs of burnout creeping through my veins, I take a break and rejuvenate so that I can stay the course. The paths you choose on your journey to success can literally make or break you. Just remember that you can always choose to break as needed without feeling as though you’ve been broken.
