Stay Solid 💪

By Jo

Some people will burn you, even when all you’ve done is be kind. They may not always know the impact of their actions, so forgive them. More than likely, they’ve experienced so much hurt in their own lives that they struggle to believe in kindness—or worse, they want to test your patience to see if it’s real. Sometimes, they’ll even be more rude or disrespectful, simply to figure out what makes you tick. The trick is not letting them drag you into their chaos.

No matter how someone treats you, never forget who you are. Stop losing yourself in other people’s misery and drama. Their pain and negativity aren’t yours to carry. It’s important to recognize when someone is using your help but has no intention of growth or change. That’s when you need to draw the line. Not everyone who asks for your support deserves it—respect needs to be earned. Just because you’ve extended your hand doesn’t mean you should let people drain you. Your energy is sacred.

Here are a few core rules to follow:

Stay solid: No matter what others do, don’t lose sight of your own values and self-respect.

Stick to the script: Don’t change who you are just because someone else is acting out. Your principles are your compass.

Soon you will reap the benefits: Holding on to your beliefs and not swaying from your morals will pay off in the long run.

Don’t take it personal: A lot of times, people’s bad behavior reflects more on them than it does on you. Let their issues stay their issues.

Set boundaries: It's okay to help, but you need to establish clear limits to protect your emotional and mental well-being.

Know when to walk away: If someone keeps burning you despite your forgiveness, it might be time to remove yourself from their toxic cycle.

Lead by example: Be a model of what respect and dignity look like. Sometimes people learn more from observing than from lectures.

The bottom line is this… Don't let the actions of others throw you off balance. Keep your focus on your goals, stay true to yourself, and never allow someone else's negativity to change who you are at the core. When you stand firm in who you are, the world may test you, but you’ll always come out stronger.

Your Winter Arc 🥷

By Marcus

There comes a time when you have to take matters into your own hands.

You stop waiting for things to happen to you and start taking the necessary actions.

This is your life. It’s your story.

This is your Winter Arc.

Let’s begin…

Against the Ropes

If this year hasn’t been going how you thought it would, you’re not alone. If you are finding yourself on the “down bad” or “can’t catch a break” train, please understand this is temporary. You can find a way out.

The challenging part about taking losses over an extended period is the impact on your mindset. The enthusiasm you once had diminishes, and the daily grind can put you into a state of fatigue that is hard to escape.

This is when you have to fight back, but you need to have something to fight for. Choose your motivator:

• Survival - this one is straightforward enough.

• Family/Friends - a strong why if you like them.

• Status - hate it or love it… it does matter.

• Competition - to the victor goes the spoils.

• Revenge - a great motivator. Tread carefully. Don’t hurt anyone.

• Escape - wanting out can be enough.

• Respect - it must be earned.

• Disrespect - it must be addressed.

• Prove the doubters/haters wrong - their silence will be golden.

No Turning Back

Don’t quit. Pull energy and motivation from wherever you need to. Develop the discipline to see it through.

This is your season. Give yourself a great story to share of your tenacity and accomplishments against the odds.

Close this chapter and don’t look back.

You own this WINTER!! ❄️❄️

See you on the other side.

No Better Time than Right Now!
