Have you ever been stood up?
Have you felt
‘Why is this happening to me?’,
‘What did I do wrong?’, or
‘Don’t they want me?’
I was invited into a HUGE opportunity but instead ended up in THAT victimy space!
I felt stood up and was miserable.
The more stressed I got, the more my family laughed and teased me ;-(
I asked my angels before I went to bed to make it all good.
But when I woke up, there was no ‘apology’, no ‘let’s reschedule’…
In other words, the opportunity I’d been SO excited about and prepared weeks for didn’t happen!
I missed the golden opportunity…
(Excuse the bed-head- I just woke up!)
with perfect timing,
ps Is it even possible to ‘miss out’ or get stood up! What a silly notion 😉
Love this RAW sharing of emotion, thoughts, feelings! This is a great reminder to not make up ‘stories’ about what something means. As you said, you have lost nothing that was not yours to begin with. How tricky our minds are when we ‘perceive’ that an ‘opportunity’ equals ownership. We have everything we need for our happiness within ourselves. Everything else is a bonus, and we mustn’t ever become ‘attached’ to these bonuses. I LOVE that you shared straight out of bed. You are awesome!
If you only knew how much I needed to hear this in my life right now. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
Oh sweet Shakaya …I just love that you shared this. You are such a rich beautiful blessing of bright light. I completely agree with you, how can we waste the present moments we are in by reminiscing about things that seem to have not worked out? It sounds so logical doesn’t it? Yet it’s a trap I find myself caught in often. So I want to say thank you with all my heart for your honesty and humor and for yet again being a brilliant shining beacon of wisdom strength and faith. Here’s to us trusting that God’s timing is always perfect.Thank you for this very special gift dear Beauty. As always you are perfectly gorgeous. Stay well.
I really appreciated this, THANK YOU!!
Shakaya, you’re such a lovely, loving, lovable person, thank you for sharing this. It’s funny because I was stood up last weekend. I had booked a table for 10 women who are part of an online group and we all agreed it would be amazing to all connect and inspire each other in person, so I showed up, but not even one soul appeared. Some had sent apologies at last minute, others didn’t bother to even call to cancel. So I had all those same thoughts go through my head. Soon enough those feelings passed after a good half hour of waiting and realising I would be the only one on an empty table for 10! So I turned it around. I could have stormed off home and felt sorry for myself and feel upset at my wasted time and energy. Instead I spent 3 hours of solo planning, dreaming and visioning. I reviewed my previous month’s goals and made new ones for the month ahead, enjoying the luxury of personal focused time and space. What a gift from the universe it was exactly what I needed 🙂
Shakaya, thank you for sharing this. It’s always afterwards that we remember that divine timing is at play, isn’t it? I’m so excited to see what even bigger opportunities are coming soon for you! I love that you shared this experience with us… so real. Love you!
Thank-you! I needed to hear this today. :).
What a lovely sharing Shakaya – thank you 🙂 And frankly – it’s their loss! What a clear sign that your values aren’t in alignment.
Sorry, posted too soon – I meant, what a clear sign your values and theirs aren’t in alignment.
You have perfect timing and thanks for the reminder.
Lovely video & message. xoxo
You are so sweet and authentic
