What If Delays and Obstacles Are Actually Your Protection ?

Instead of sticking to the oh, my God, I can't believe this is happening. Why are these delays happening? This is awful. Well, it's this or something better. And a lot of times those delays and those obstacles are truly redirection. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie, because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And this is, like, the first three days for me with my voice back. I. I had a little run in with what I think might have been bronchitis or some kind of crazy chest cold. And this quickie is gonna be quick because talking too much turns into a coughing fit. But you better believe that I am slamming my glossy because it has zinc in it, you guys, which has been huge for getting over colds faster. So that is what I am doing and hoping that this shortens everything by a few days. And if you didn't know, we upped the promo code for glossy to 25. Like, seriously, because you guys are my favorite people who've been with me. Some of you are new. Some of you have been with me for, like, eight years. You guys have been coming around for eight years. You know how cool that is? Like, that is so overwhelming for me to think that we have been having conversations, and I've gotten to meet so many of you. I mean, probably thousands of you at different events and chat with you and just get to hear how freaking much alike we are. And I think that that's so important to REM when you're thinking of the grand scheme of people in the world, because separateness really makes us feel lonely and isolated. And, you guys, we are just so incredibly similar, it's not even funny. Like, we all have the same obstacles and challenges when it comes to, you know, overcoming our fears, getting started on things. What will our family think? What will people online think? Oh, my gosh, if this is successful, who could, you know, come at me, like, all of these different things? Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of, you know, not being accepted by people. So we are so incredibly similar. But I wanted to remind you today that redirection and obstacles are truly protection for you. And if we look at it like that, as long as we are taking consistent action, I want you to really think about all of the times in your life where something has been delayed or where something just was not working out, and you kept pushing and pushing and pushing, and all of a sudden, something even better came through. So, you know, I believe it's from A Course in Miracles, but the phrase this or something Better. That is the phrase that I have used more than any other phrase, I think, in the past 10 years than I've used out of anything. Because it is the phrase that keeps reminding me that it's true. And to start looking for what the something better is instead of sticking to the, oh, my God, I can't believe this is happening. Why are these delays happening? This is awful. You know, maybe this thing isn't meant to happen. Well, it's this or something better. And a lot of times those delays and those obstacles are truly redirection. And I can't help but think that whatever you believe, for me, it's God. That God is up there just, like, protecting me from all of the things that I can't see. Like, hey, you're delayed, because if you came out three months earlier with your product, you would have been a different name that was trademarked by someone else. And that is a true story, you guys. Like, if I wouldn't have had all of these product delays and box issues, like, while those were going on, what was happening is that the name that I originally had, which was H2 glow, and when we were making sure that we were branded in our category of beauty as well, we wanted to make sure that we were, you know, because we are skin and gut, so that we were in the beauty trademarks as well. While we were doing that, we found a trademark that was H2 glow in the beauty category that we would not have been able to use. Like, I'm sure these people would have said, hey, cease and desist. You can't do this. And so all of these delays gave us time, because we found that in the research and it allowed us, before the boxes were printed, because we had such a delay to go change the name, figure out the direction, figure out what we wanted to do, we did it really freaking fast. It was all, like, a matter of two weeks, you guys. But if we weren't delayed, we would have had to change everything once everything was printed. Like, you can never look at your life and be like, oh, my gosh, this is, you know, happening. Because, like, looking at all of the negative, or this is so bad that this is happening. Yes, There are things that truly in the moment, they feel awful. There are marriages that break up. There are friendships that break up. And I know that we can't skip immediately to this or something better, but if we can hold that truth, if we can hold that belief in our life and truly know this or something better, what happens is you look for the something better, and you open up to it. You open up to creative ways of finding it. You open up to being able to see all of the people who are around you who could help you. It opens up a question narrative. Instead of closing everything down, it opens up a positive question narrative of what is the better, rather than this is awful, let's look for more bad. And it's just how successful people work. It's just how they think. It's just how the world works out for the people that the world is working out for. So you guys, I hope that you truly take this to heart and whatever you're going through, you hold on to the belief of this or something better.
