A Fool becomes A Leader

Kind of starting over

I’ve never been afraid to start over.

In fact, I think it’s been a part of an unresolved pattern.

Maybe it began when I first moved to a new town as a child. The move to Pflugerville, TX from south Austin was impactful. The feeling of knowing you are new and nothing is familiar, yet. It was scary.

Then the move to Lubbock, TX to go to Texas Tech when I was 23. That feeling of not belonging because I couldn’t relate to the majority of students that didn’t have to worry about paying for rent or working while attending school. I am glad I made friends while I lived there, most of them were from the Boxing Club I joined after dropping out of Texas Tech.

Starting over once I joined the United States Air Force was a desperate move for me to get out of Lubbock and move forward with pursuing my nursing degree. I was proud of making the commitment to being in the military because it would allow me to complete college without getting into financial debt.

Unfortunately, that path did not work out.

Now, July 2022, is technically the fourth time I am starting over but this time is different because I am am not physically moving anywhere but I am making a shift in my approach for life that requires me to archive some projects and move forward with this new mentality.

I have archived everything but 6 of my Instagram posts because after a workshop with Coach Luz, from IndustryIkon.com, I realized the majority of what I have created for Reibert-Anthony has not provided value to my audience. I am making a shift towards providing illustrations that add value to others. I have made Reibert-Anthony too much about me and not enough for others.

I have been a fool that created chaos by lacking a plan on the way I create for Reibert-Anthony. Moving forward I will become a leader by practicing self-control and discipline.

I will be sharing different methods for practicing self-control and discipline.

One way I am committing to this shift in mentality is by publishing a blog post every Sunday night.  

I will try my best to publish something of value, but they may be real rough drafts sometimes. I am committing to writing and improving the circumstances of my reality.

Peace out,

Reibert-Anthony
