Rain always falls before the Sunshine Comes

Life for me this year has been on the high for the most part. I've been able to progress in my career as well as in my life. But, there is a saying that goes something like "when things are too good something is bound to happen"-Les Brown

This week has been a tough one for me. Earlier in the week I posted a blog post mentioning that I was gong through a trying time. One thing I enjoy about blogging is I get to speak on topics that I normally wouldn't speak on. Building an audience allows you to be vulnerable with those that support you. Well this post is one of those times. In this blog I've wrote about my personal journey of moving to California, finding a job and establishing myself. Well, earlier in the week I was fired from my job. I've been blessed to find a job a month and half into moving here. Granted the graveyard shift wasn't fun but ironically it played a major part in my leaving. And, the job allowed me to pay my bills as I pursue my dream. But, being let go a few weeks away from Christmas when jobs aren't even hiring anymore is a tough pill to swallow. Funds aren't where I'd like them to be. College loans are riding on my back. Credit card bills aren't going to pay for themselves. So, I allowed myself to moap around for a day but I know this train keeps going.

Reflection begins with looking yourself in the eye

I still have a brand to build and I won't allow anything to stop me from making my impact in this world.. So, right now is a time for reflection. What have I been doing that put me in this position? What can I do to put myself in a better position? Is the 9-5 or 12-8 job all I can get? Is their another way?

I'm a fan of watching interviews of successful people and they all have said before their big "break" came they went through a major struggle. Is this what they've been referring too? Only time will tell for ya boy. In the mean time I'm getting back to working on myself mentally, physically, and spiritually. Will I survive....only time will tell. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Stay tuned for an update as time goes on....
