Come correct

Recently I was asked to be apart of an event where I’d have to speak about my divorce. I would have to speak verbally about the heartache that I felt almost a year ago. I was ready. Honestly, I didn’t know much about who this “brand” was, what would be asked of me, or even how long I would need to speak. I only knew that I would be speaking. Promotional information including flyers, etc., would be sent to me yet I still didn’t know what was happening.  A big pet peeve is when someone misspells my name, especially multiple times when they’ve asked me to be apart of something.

 

If you’re a brand or have been asked to be apart of something then you should know that coming correct is essential to gaining a lasting relationship. So, after multiple times of trying to get them to correct my name, not knowing what was expected, to dates changing out of the blue. I no longer wanted to be apart of this unorganized chaos. I’m not the kind of person that gives my word then doesn’t follow through, but I had enough.

 

So, I let it go. Sometimes it takes chaos to realize that no matter how hard you try to fix something or make it work that it’s not for you. Pay attention to the red flags in your relationship, a business opportunity, or friendship. Who isn’t coming correct to you but wants you to fulfill their vision? I’ve learned that it’s okay to say you’re going to do something but realize through the journey it doesn’t make sense for where you’re going. There will be plenty other opportunities for me to verbally speak about my experiences, and if not, I’ll make my own. Just come correct or don’t come at all.

 

Let me know in the comments if you had to turn your back on a decision you made. Did you regret it? Did it work out? 

 

 

All Love
