Challenges may come but as long as your mind is set on success, those challenges would only be stepping stones.
A SHORT STORY.
When the venue of the hall we used for the event was secured, it was just one week before the event. Not even up to a week. Just a few days to go.
Then the thoughts came,
"There's no time to promote this event very well, why don't you move it."
But I said to my mind and the thoughts...
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝.
So I put it out and announced the date and the messages started flooding in...
"Oh, I didn't know it was physical"
"Oh, I didn't know it was this week. I would have been there."
The thoughts came again...
"Do you think people will come?"
"Maybe it's too sudden and people wouldn't have the time to prepare."
Again, I said to myself and my mind,
"This event would hold."
I had fear, doubts, worries and I analysed them and I knew it was normal.
A day before the event, my slides weren't ready.
I knew what I was going to say, but putting the thoughts together seemed like a herculean task.
But I told myself, "I must prepare my slides and not just say whatever is in my head. Even if just one person shows up, I need to be ready for them."
And I did just that...
I spent the night creating and designing my slides as well as getting myself together.
Thankfully, everything eventually turned out great, but it didn't actually start out great.
Challenges would definitely come, but as long as you have your mind focused on achieving success, those challenges would only be, but stepping stones.
