New Next or Next Repeat…

New Next or Next Repeat…

We’ve seen all of the emails, social media posts and texts wishing us all of Happy New Year!  It’s a new year but will it be happy?  I don’t know.  Will it be new?  That’s left up to you.  But I can guarantee you this that if you are alive and breathing, there will be a next.  A next minute, hour, day, month, quarter and year if we are still alive and the earth still stands.  So what’s next?  Will the next be a repeat of what’s already been done or will there be some things that are new?  Your next will look different from mine but here are a few questions that we both can ask ourselves about next:  

1. What did you start that you haven’t finished?  That should be next.
2. What have you prepared for?  That could be next.
3. What have you signed up for and invested in?  That is definitely next.
4. What do you NOT want any more of?  That’s should be never again and not included in the next.

These 4 questions only you can answer and make that critical decision about.  In my own life, I have been reviewing every aspect of my life, family, friends, business and health.  Some of it was fun to review and other things were a little painful to be quite honest but I did it.  I’m ready to move forward, I think.  Scary as a new beginning or a beginning again can be, it is going to happen whether I’m ready or not.  Some things are inevitable.  Some things are happening because it is life.  Some things are uncontrollable like the weather, death and other people.  It just happens.  So what will it be, New Next or the Next is on Repeat.  No matter what, let’s go!

Decisions. Delights. Destinations.

Greetings,

The holidays are in full swing and that’s wonderful!  Enjoy it all!  At the end of the holidays, life is still happening.  Decisions have to be made with moving your life forward.  Even if you don’t need to decide on any area of your life, you have still decided to do nothing, modify nothing or make any changes in your life.  But know that your decisions will determine your actions and actions will determine the results.  It’s Decision December.  What will you decide?  It’s left up to you.  

The delights of the season for me are giving and receiving.  Giving myself time to reflect and receiving instruction from GOD about my next.  I know that you thought it was gifts, decorations and shopping but in this season of my life, it is about living out my purpose and getting to destiny.  I promised myself that I would go “Hard in the Paint” and I have truly done that.  I have about 6 more months to complete that goal and determine my next steps.  Until then, I encourage you to give yourself that time to reflect on your life.  I know it may be hard to take a look at the good, bad and ugly but you can’t change what you won’t face.  

After the delights of the season, what is the destination?  Where will you go next?  Some of us will discover as we journey in life but others will be very strategic about where we go, who we are with and what we do with our time and treasure.  Whether you’re looking at a map or still searching your heart, what or where is the destination?  I’m in that season of questioning everything and hope that you are too.  

If we need to have a conversation, visit www.talkwithroyston.com to schedule a conversation.  Enjoy the holidays along with the decisions, delights and destinations.  Let’s go!

Hello November

When I think of November, I think of being thankful.  I think of Thanksgiving and soon to be Christmas.  As an entrepreneur, I am still thankful while looking forward to Thanksgiving, adore Christmas but see the end of one year quickly becoming the beginning of a new year.  

Most people probably don’t think about the New Year until after Christmas Day activities are over and you’ve returned gifts that didn’t fit.  For me, I’ve been praying, thinking and planning for 2023 since about June or July.  Why?  I’m thankful but want to be as prepared as possible.  I’m thankful but my business is my baby and I don’t want to mishandle it in any way.  I know that others wing it, fly by the seat of their pants and since 2020, some best plans don’t always turn out like you planned, but I make a plan anyway.  I review the things that I still want to get accomplished or researched before the end of the year.  I also take some time to really reflect on what went well and what didn’t go like I planned.  This November, I am so thankful for what I accomplished, harvested and what I still have in my heart to do in the near future.  What about you?

Let’s go!

October 2022 Newsletter

It’s the 4th Quarter!  The last quarter of 2022.  Many things have happened already this year and there will be more to come before it is concluded.  Some fantastic things have happened and we accomplished much but here are four things that you should strive to incorporate in your life in the 4th Quarter:  

1.  Consider doing life differently.  We lost loved ones, friends, opportunities and time but now consider doing things differently.  It will be different for each of us but hopefully, it will help you live the life that you were designed to live.
2. Conclude some things.  You’ve got time to stop, end or bring to a proper conclusion some habits, thoughts and people from continuing in your life.  What goes into 2023?  The same thing looking for different results?  That is insanity.  Bring some things to a conclusion.  In other words, stop it.
3. Complain about nothing if you didn’t do the research, send the email, make the call, ask questions or at least try to move forward with a project or endeavor.  That is all but know that you’ve still got time.  
4. Celebrate the smallest to the largest victories this year.  Don’t wait until December 31st. Strive to celebrate each and every day something good that did happened, something bad that God didn’t let happen and celebrate the more and get excited about what is ABOUT to happen!  Let’s go!

Hello September Goals

Greetings,

I have been creating a newsletter for at least 25 years.  At first, it was for my music only and now it is for clients, supporters, and those just interested in what Julia Royston and all of her entities are doing.  Let me say thank you for being here.  In September because it is the ninth month, I have always talked about harvest, giving birth, or what you get done before September.  When I prayed about what to talk about, God said what if someone is not interested in planting a seed at all?  What if they don’t care about writing a book or starting a business or starting anything but just striving to live?  To you I say, Live!  Take every day as it comes and live the best life that you were designed to live.  Enjoy each and every day..  

Secondly, He said, “some are on divine assignments and need to keep going.”  So that’s what I am going to tell you to keep going.  Don’t stop no matter what it looks like or how hard it gets.  September is the ninth month and a triple divine number.  It’s not magical or doesn’t guarantee that something miraculous is going to happen, but you are guaranteed that God will give you the grace, strength, courage, and wisdom to complete the assignment that He called you to.  

Finally, to those of us looking for a harvest to the business, book, project, child, marriage, or other endeavors that you have sown so many hours of blood, sweat, tears, money, and effort into, look for a harvest.  That harvest may not come in the same place or way that you planted but there is a harvest coming.  What you sow you will also reap.  It is a law!  Be on the lookout for the harvest!  Let’s go!

Julia
