I am a 57-year-old mom of two girls and soon-to-be TWO grandsons. I am a recruiter for IT people and I, pretty-much, will work 24/7/365 if I can. I chose/choose PFP so I can say ‘YES’.
Looking back: I have the benefit of knowing just how many things I decline(d) when I was not consistent with PFP. I joined PFP pre-pandemic. I was mentally, physically and financially (just started a new career – something completely different) struggling. I wasn’t attending consistently, and nothing was ‘clicking’ in any aspect of my world. THEN…you know it…the pandemic. PLUS, my Mom went into a super, speedy cognitive decline, so I became completely distracted. I said ‘NO’ and ‘I can’t’ to everything. At the same time, I stopped attending PFP. Sooooo not me. SO not cool. SO ‘unattractive’. [I use that word because I like to be around people/someone who is ‘attractive on the inside’. Someone who wants to be ‘present’. Someone who IS ‘present’. Someone who I can count on. Someone who says ‘YES’.]
Then it happened in late June 2022. I wanted to BE that someone. And, simultaneously my FOMO of PFP kicked in. If I am going to be a ‘YES someone’, that’s how it was going to start. And it did. For me, those Tuesday/Thursday 6AM Warrior ‘events’ (not just a class 😉) and that team of Warriors themselves have been my ‘YES’ generators. And, everything has changed for the better. I know what it feels like to be ‘counted on’ and ‘present’.
Because of PFP…
Yes, I will transport my grandson to daycare any day of the week and Yes, I will watch/keep him anytime.
Yes, I will volunteer for THIS, THAT and THE OTHER – even on the same day!
Yes, I will work circles around others at my job because my energy and attitude get that jumpstart from PFP that they don’t have.
Yes, I will HAVE that occasional beer and that occasional dessert.
Yes, I will make plans and keep them.
Yes, you can count on me.
Yes, I will show up and be present.
The list goes on and on…and I love it.
