Earlier on Saturday, around 12am, I started having very intense cramps while preparing for my presentation later in the day. I was just very restless and uncomfortable.
But I remembered that having two important assignments before me for the day isn't beans and I need to be my best. One was a spoken word presentation at an external event and the other is an entrepreneurship summit I was organizing in church, so it's either I give in to the pains to take over or I gear up to get rid of it.
So I settled for the latter, took some medication, gathered myself, and prayed for grace not to fail at it, because I knew the risk in just showing up and not showing up well.
After the two events I must say, truly If it had not been the LORD who was on my side... Then the waters had overwhelmed me, the stream had gone over my soul, and indeed my help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ๐ฃ๐๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ 124:1,4 & 8.
I've just come to realize the following:
โ
Excellence isn't always convenient, but it is always intentional.
โ
Purpose is painful, but pain has never been enough to bury destiny.
โ
You don't prepare for impact with emotions. You prepare with decisions.
For this week ensure that whatever will stop you from showing up well, be it laziness, pain, procrastination, inconsistency, mood, get rid of it before it gets rid of you.
Sometimes, it's not the devil nor your village people. It's just about you.
Tag someone who needs this reminder.
PS: Anticipate a fully voiced video on my last presentation at LinkedIn local EKSU.
