Believe in yourself! You’re awesome!





Right now, you have a wonderful chance to accept yourself and love yourself for who you are. Everything about you is perfect and was meant to exist, as another version of awesome, another version of love. 


If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? It is up to you first and foremost to love yourself wholly and entirely. You cannot love another fully until you love yourself. This is true. If you don’t back yourself, who will? Back yourself and inspire others to do the same. 

Back yourself every single day, every single milestone, every step.

Trust that you know all the answers already. (Because you do, all you need is within you now.)
If you don’t live your dreams, whose dreams will you live? Your dreams, the ones that are personal to you and mean so much to you are the dreams you want - so go for them! Be ready to make mistakes, because this is how we learn. Love your mistakes, thank them for showing you the way, making you wise and strong. Be ready to feel a whole new kind of adrenalin, the kind that comes from setting free and flying into a new reality, the life you’ve always wanted. 

Are you making excuses? 
Do your excuses get in the way of your true potential and greatness? 
Then stop making them. Make other things in their place, like inspiring conversations with your friends, thought-provoking questions to yourself, powerful affirmations, blessings, gratitude.

Time is ticking, what are you waiting for?

Be true to yourself, always.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Passion, Consistency & Momentum = Success





People who are successful spend over 15 hours a week outside of their 'day-job' mastering their skills. It takes aproximately 5 years to become an 'overnight success'.
    • People who master their skills are those who focus on what they want every day and do
    • something directly related to their goal each day.
    •  Simply put, we are who we CHOOSE to be. 
    • Decide what you want and the universe conspires to get it for you.
    If you aren't getting results, think about how you spend your time. 
    Think about other people you admire or have skills that you wish you had, how do they spend their time?  Remember everyone has the same amount of time, it's in the spending of that time that makes the difference.

    Set yourself up for success, research your favourite athlete/actor/scientist/writer/opera singer/dancer/business person etc. See what it took to get them where they are. 

    Below are 4 very successful people I admire and what they did to create their success. 

    "Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy to finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one area where I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter, and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
     – J. K. Rowling, Harvard commencement address, 2008


    "Vettel began driving in his garden lapping the garden many times, not even stopping to eat or shower, before he could legally take to the roads, and said his passion for cars was nurtured by watching Schumacher compete. He did not know that he would actually get to race his hero."
    - On Sebastian Vettel Formula 1 Champion. 

    "My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them...from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it."
    - Richard Branson on his decision to build an airline.  

    "A model student. Fanatical, uncompromising, dedicated to her studies heart and soul. Her progress was phenomenal. She studied five or six hours a day. ...Within six months, she was singing the most difficult arias in the international opera repertoire with the utmost musicality"
    -Maria Callas' singing teacher, Maria Trivella. (Pictured above)



    The above examples are of people who simply decided what they wanted, decided who they had to become to get it.  

    Now it's your turn to do the same. Who will you become? What will success look like to you?
