Sacred Sassy Heroine: Your Life, Literally!
{}
Sacred Sassy Heroine: This is the every day goddess within each woman. It is she who harnesses the unfeigned feminine energy that makes you divine. She embraces all-she-is and struts it like she means it. Tonight is the full moon. This cosmic event serves as a reminder to crack out of your proper exoskeleton and reconnect with the howling sister within. She is sacred. She is sassy. She is YOU. And she is a Heroine.
Okay Heroines, from the moment you wake up til that last glance at the clock before your eyes give up the waking fight, there’s one relationship that binds you more than any marriage. I’m talking about your relationship with time.
I bring this up because for two reasons.
First of all, I was at one time the biggest flake that ever walked the Earth. I was the star of the “get there when and if I feel like it show.” That makes me an expert. Secondly, I’ve noticed a showing up fashionably late trend among us otherwise smart and savvy entrepreneurs. From online trainings I’ve led, to in person business meetings – this appears to be an area that needs some attention, ladies!
It has been said that what we do here, is what we do everywhere. So let’s clean it up!
You want how to strategies? How about this…Get your ass in gear and promptly get there!
What I really have for you is the big spikey bitter pill of “WHY” to suck on.
This is the magic pill given to me by my wise and wonderful wasband (yes, we’re cordially divorcing) that cured me of that nasty life long habit in about one minute.
Open up…here it comes.
My life is the most valuable resource I have.
My life is made up of the hours and minutes I am here alive on this Earth, otherwise known as my time. When I sit waiting for you to show up for the hot business date, coaching session, or random coffee shop meeting, you are literally taking my life and saying it doesn’t count, it’s not worth honoring. You are throwing away my time, a portion my life I will never get back.
*I know I cried, too when he told me that.*
On the flip side of that, when you show up on time or better yet early, you show respect for both of us. That incites all kinds of goodies like, trust, integrity, joint ventures, raises, bonuses, referrals, and the list goes on.
The other perk I must mention is when you show up early, you strut in owning the place. You’ve got time to check your teeth for spinach, order a coffee, flirt with the sexy someone across the way, review your notes, and whatever else your heart desires. You feel confident and composed.
I’ll take that any day!
And because this is the real world and sometimes sh*t just happens – all hail the holy courtesy call/text keeping that person in wait informed.
Preach it, Sister!! I co-lead a spiritual community for 10 years. At first, people thought it was okay to waltz in late and be disruptive. They would shrug it off by announcing, “Pagan Standard Time.” I’ve heard that same concept with my Jewish tribe too.
Well, we had a lovely talk about respect and that the only thing you should say when you are late is, “I’m sorry that I am late.”
Better yet, don’t be late all the time if the event or people are important to you.
