Hey HuRU Crew! I have a question. I really enjoy connecting and interacting with other people. I’ve been that way all my life. I’ve enjoyed this group so far because it seems like people do engage and interact. But I will admit that I’ve been in a couple groups where I bring that energy to the group, and there’s nothing going on no interaction just crickets, And because I’m expecting more, it’s a bit of an energy drain. I would love everyone suggestions of a couple groups I could join that really do promote community and interaction like this one does. It’s partly about networking for sure, but also maybe about being a solopreneur, working from home, and just enjoying a little interaction with other human beings!! (Hope this is ok to post!!)

Sometimes I miss the person I used to be. The energy, the spark, the freedom I once had. But then I remind myself: I am not losing her, I am transforming, into a more mature and purposeful her. The old me carried me through so much, and without her, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Now, I’m in a better place, wiser, stronger, and still growing. I'm choosing to honor her. I shake her hand with gratitude, and I keep walking forward with love for the person I’m becoming. I'm going to make her proud and not taking all her sacrifices for granted. She went through heart breaks just to become me. Everything I have today, are because of her. I am her and she is me.

Failures, detours and disappointments, they all carry lessons. What feels like a breakdown today can become the blueprint for your breakthrough tomorrow. I believe setbacks aren’t failures. I see them as opportunities in disguise. What do you think?

As a former amateur boxer with a record of 96-3 I plan on doing a more thorough article comparing boxing lessons with life. I hope that you enjoy this shorter version. The Parable of the Boxer There once was a young man who dreamed of becoming a champion boxer. He saw the sport as a metaphor for life - a constant battle where you had to be prepared for anything. So he laced up his gloves and stepped into the ring. In his first fight, he was nervous and unsure of himself. He kept missing his opponent's punches, unable to capitalize on the openings presented to him. Just like in life, he was letting opportunities slip through his fingers. After that loss, the young boxer knew he had to train harder. He spent hours in the gym, building up his strength, speed and stamina. He worked on his defense, learning how to slip and block the incoming blows. Because in life, you have to be prepared for anything that gets thrown your way. The day of the big match arrived, and the boxer stepped back into the ring. This time, he was ready. When his opponent came at him, he was able to weave and duck, landing powerful counterattacks. He got knocked down a few times, but each time, he summoned the courage to get back up off the mat. Just as we must do in life when we get knocked down by setbacks and challenges. With his strong mind and body, the boxer emerged victorious. He had faced his fears, put in the hard work, and risen to the occasion. And that is the essence of the fight we all face in life. The Parallels of Boxing and Life Missing Punches = Missed Opportunities We all have moments in life where we let opportunities slip through our fingers. Whether it's a job opening, a chance to pursue our passions, or a meaningful connection with someone - missing those openings can have lasting consequences. The key is to stay sharp, focused and ready to seize the moment when it presents itself. Defense = Preparation In the boxing ring, a strong defense is crucial. You have to be light on your feet, able to block, slip and duck the incoming blows. In life, that translates to being prepared for anything. Building up our mental, physical and emotional resilience allows us to weather any storm that comes our way.
