How it goes struggle then victory

And then thanks to God.

At least that’s how it went today as I went live in my confidence coaching Facebook group today.

I did a 15-minute live about unleashing your inner confidence; it was my first one. Boy, was I nervous before, but when I hit live, I just talked as people can in and out of the live stream, but for the most part, it was just me.

And it’s funny how even talking to the camera by myself still made me nervous, and once it was over, I was relieved, but I went back to watch it and the volume was a little low, and the connection on Facebook was not great.

But God got me through it, and maybe the next time I go live, it will be better, and I will have more women in my group helping and supporting each other as they gain their confidence in themselves.

I don’t

 Know if I’m ready for this next step in my life.

But it’s about to happen and the butterflies inside me are so excited and nervous all at the same time.

That I wonder what will happen or become of me.

The time for the day is slowly but approaching and I still have so many questions.

Like where will I go and what time and is this going to be too hard.

Is it going to be better than the experience I am dealing with right now.

And how long before this all I will be doing.

I guess right now I will never know until they get back to me but the count down has started.

I didn’t want my nervous to get me

as I stood there waiting for my turn to come.

I kept replaying the same words all over in my head

hoping they would all come out right.

This presentation was very important and I just really had

to blow them out of the water If I wanted to win it this year.

I was tired of coming in second place when I knew what I needed to

do to win first.

And so as I walked on that stage I knew I had what it took to win this thing

I just had to believe and trust that I could get through this and not worry about

the things that would set my nerves on fire.

Just smile and read and when it is all said and done I won because, I was good enough and I guess second isn’t bad after all.

But, this year I walked off that stage with a smile on my face and first place trophy in my right hand.

Wishing them all a good year and that there was always next year to get up there and face their fears and come out on top.
