Samone- CA Sisterhood Sessions (00:00)
Welcome back, everyone, and thank you for joining another session of the Sisterhood. I'm your host, Samone and I'm so excited that you decided to join us today. Today I wanted to pose a question. Have you been dealing with disappointment? Have you been utilizing your body as a bartering tool, trying to deal with or overcome that disappointment?

Well, I want to encourage you that you cannot outrun, outwork, or outsex disappointment. I know it's a harsh truth and a harsh reality, but it's okay. There are other options.

Being able to deal with disappointment, we have to come to a truth about the reality of where we are. That a goal or vision or target has been unmet, unfulfilled, or simply been missed. And it's okay. It is okay. We have to make the decision.

If we're going to stay in that place of unmet expectations, if we're going to stay in that place of unfulfilled goals and dreams of expectations, or we can make the decision to actually change the reality entirely. Well, how do we do that, you may ask? Well, I'm glad you asked.

There are things that we possess or ideas and abilities that we possess that can get us beyond the space of disappointment. We can set a new go entirely, set a new target or new mark entirely. We can heal and focus on the future and not live in our past. We can stop living with the shame and the regret.

Of things that were unfulfilled or or we did not actually succeed in according to our own expectation, we can repent for utilizing our bodies as a weapon instead of the temple that it was designed to be. We also can forgive others that have impacted our goal, our path, or

mental space and capacity as it relates to our goal. We can forgive and let go of the hurt, the disappointment. We can let that go. Why? Because it's only impacting us in our direction and our ability to move forward.

Missing the mark or understanding that there were unmet expectations does not have to define us. It does not have to be who we are. It can be a portion of our story, but it doesn't have to be our story entirely. Being able to navigate that disappointment, it prepares us to humbly.

Honor and accept success when we get it. It puts us in a better position to not be prideful or boastful when we actually accomplish our goals, when we actually walk into the place of purpose and destiny. We can do it humbly. We can hold our head up high. We know that the things that we have dealt with in our past.

Don't define the moment and nobody can use our past to try to destroy the moment or pull the rug from up underneath us with some some past laundry because we've dealt with it. We've repented for it and we're ready to walk forward. And when we make that accomplishment and when we walk through that door, we are able to share that testimony with somebody else. We're able to tell others how we got there and what we did when we faced.

disappointment or defeat, that we were able to get up and dust ourselves off and try again. That we were able to make a phone call to a mentor, to another sister, and get some encouragement and get some uplift, get some guidance and some instruction from somebody who may have already been in that space. And and we are able to do our success and live in the moment of success with gratitude. With gratitude.

I know this may have been a tough one, but it's not meant to tear you down, it's meant to make us better. You have an amazing day, and I will see you tomorrow. Take care.
