Monday = Patience

I write this as I’m on a company van headed to some training. All I have on my mind is hustle, and it appears this week will be a bit more difficult getting my hustle in given the circumstances.

It’s a Monday which means it’s a brand new week. A brand new story in our life, the past is behind us and the future may never come. What matters is now, this moment right here.

I find myself anxious every Monday because as I write this I still haven’t hit the pinnacle I plan to reach and I tend to daydream which builds the anxiety more. Being an “entrepreneur” has taught me many things in such short time. This lesson today is something new.

This one is in patience.

Macro Patience, micro hustle

- Gary Vaynerchuk

Every second of the day I’m shooting at all angles, Instagram, Snap, Facebook, and my new podcast. I at times fee frustrated because I feel like it isn’t enough and I’m reminded of this every Monday when I’m at my company formation.

So patience is what I’m trying to deploy in who I am as a person and now as a entrepreneur. Life is so busy that sometimes we forget to enjoy the process, the relationships, and the tastes of food surprisingly (I’ve found myself rushing food down my throat to rush to my next interview).

Like I said each Monday is a brand new chapter in our lives, the week prior happened whether we are content with it or not and tomorrow isn’t promised.

So enjoy this Monday, make each second count. Professionally and spiritually. Continued to hustle your heart out but learn to enjoy the small details we tend to miss.

I wish y’all the best.
