- Embrace Your Vision 😍
This newsletter almost didn't see the light of day. Blame it on the rain (and if I just queued Milli Vanilli, then you're my age).
Every day I wake up and go for a run, but I don't in the rain. And I'm at my mom's, and she doesn't have a Peloton, so I didn't get in a ride either. And honestly, it's hard to fire up a workout by yourself, and the kids wanted donuts, and I had a call at 10 AM I wanted to prep for and an email to write, so the workout kept getting pushed back. And I thought I'd get to it later, I still want to, but it's late. And now I realize that I could skip today's workout, and I'd survive. It's such a habit and my passion that I miss it, but I also need to give myself grace and do what I need to get done today and move on, and there's no shame in this game. 🙅🏻♀️
So amidst the whirlwind of life and dreams, I'm here with a message fueling my journey, and I hope it ignites the fire in you too.
Today, I stood at the intersection of ambition and reality, where dreams take shape. Between orchestrating the debut of my first in-person TWT event, 'The Plunge' in Beverly on August 24 (tell me you're coming), and locking in plans for my inaugural TWT talk in November (OMGFREAKINGOUT), I've also been shaping a TWT Membership with a mastermind component that I can't wait to roll out. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: let's not forget the everyday like the kids, food, laundry, and life itself.
You might wonder how one can stay energized, undaunted, and unwavering. What's Tamara trying to tell me here? Here's the secret: passion has a magical way of making fatigue seem insignificant. 🔥
They say, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." I stand before you as living proof. As I tirelessly build my empire, I reaffirm something fundamental: belief in yourself.
There's no room for doubt or second-guessing. If I don't have faith in my vision, who will? And that's what I want to emphasize today, my friend. If you long for something with all your heart, if it occupies your thoughts and dreams, then it's worth pursuing. With unwavering dedication, you must make it happen, step by step (cue NKOTB).
This very newsletter stands as a testament to this philosophy. A cornerstone of my vision, it's a commitment I made to you and myself. Consistency is the key. Whether the day has been a whirlwind or calm, it's not about when but about being steadfast, especially when you're in the momentum. And it's a give and take. I let my workout go today because I did many other things that took priority. And I know I'll be back out there running again tomorrow. You can't do it all, but you don't let things slide bc of excuses. You give yourself grace bc you're crushing it, and these are the days when you have to give something all you've got.
It's late, and I'm winding down from a day of calls and planning, family, and work. Yet, here I am, typing away because this is an integral part of my journey. This drive to share, inspire, to remind you that dreams are attainable and tangible keeps me going, even when the clock seems to conspire against me. I will let the workout go bc this right now is more important.
As I stand on the edge of my dreams, I want to remind you that your time is now. That idea you've been nurturing, that vision you've been cultivating, it's not going away. It's the essence of who you are and your aspirations. It's time to step out to begin, even if you're unsure how it'll end up.
Details will shift, and paths will twist, but the unwavering focus on your goal will keep you aligned. The first step is often daunting, but every following stride gets easier. Trust me, if you show up and persevere, the universe will conspire in your favor.
Action Tips Recap:
Believe in Yourself: Just as I do, trust that you can achieve your dreams. And go after them. You have to.
Set Consistent Goals: Commit to consistent actions, even when life gets busy. Consistency is the foundation of progress.
Begin with the First Step: The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Take it, and the path will reveal itself. Trust me on this one. Keep stepping, and know you’re getting closer every today.
Celebrate Yourself: I was going with three tips, but this one is probably the most important, and what I'm going to end with so I can shut down for the night. Give yourself grace when it doesn't go as planned. Bc it had to be that way for a reason. Love yourself and keep going again tomorrow, which is another today.
Love you. Gotta go Bye. Bc sometimes life is about working on a dream no one can see (yet) but you.
xoxo
