Change occurs as part of a...

Change occurs as part of a process: it's not an outcome. You don't change because of a podcast you heard, training you did or a book you read. We change when we move from what we had known & done to a new way of behaving & doing."We are a work in progress & so are our lives"

You will never find your worth in...

You will never find your worth in another person — you find it in yourself, and then you will attract those who are worthy of your energy. Stop waiting for others to tell you how important you are. Tell yourself right now!

If you’re not where...

If you’re not where you want to be in your career or your life, never let yourself believe change is impossible. Don’t be limited by your age or your situation; stop being afraid of what might go wrong and start getting excited about what could happen.

What I've learned is that...

What I've learned is that rarely do we ever understand why something is happening at the moment it arrives in our lives. It’s usually in hindsight that we can look back and glean the lesson.

When you no longer look to...

When you no longer look to your mind to provide you with your sense of identity, your sense of identity comes from a deeper place. That’s the shift that changes everything and the most important thing that can happen in your life.

Never being satisfied with...

Never being satisfied with where you are, or with what you have, is self-destructive. You've got to find the balance between being acceptant of who you are and where you are now while moving towards all you can receive on this journey.

Change is tough

Change is tough. Many times we are afraid of change. Do not expect people to commit to you, if you have not allowed yourself to commit to them. It is dishonest and unfair.

Every time you choose a...

Every time you choose a positive thought or a positive action even if you don't do it all the time, you change the course of your life. You start being positive by being less negative and then see how the change impacts your life in a different way.

When you interpret...

When you interpret everything you see, feel and hear as good or bad, right or wrong you become trapped in what you already know, think, and believe about the information you're observing. It closes your mind off to any other possibility.

Don't expect yourself to...

Don't expect yourself to bounce back from difficult times overnight. All difficult experiences will change many things about your life and alter who you become because of them. So be patient and persevere on your road to recovery and well being. You will get to better times.

What truly makes a difference is...

What truly makes a difference is how you carry and deal with the things that don’t go your way. You only learn how strong you are when being strong is the only choice you have.

Curiosity is the...

Curiosity is the essential, foundational aspect of learning. In order to learn something quickly, effectively, and efficiently, you must have genuine curiosity for what you’re learning.

You feel amazing when you are...

You feel amazing when you are making progress, like you can take over the world. This is why you need to continually improve some area of your life to maintain your sanity. If you don’t, it will feel like there is a hole inside you, like there’s something missing.

Recognising something positive in...

Recognising something positive in difficult times helps to move you forward. Struggle and strife are standard accessories with life. So, when they do arrive at your door, you can either get swept away by an emotional avalanche or see the situation through a clearer lens.

We often hold on to things that...

We often hold on to things that have no real importance today - mistakes, regrets or poor decisions. The thing is that everything we have experienced has taught us something. And so, now that we know what not to do, we need to let the lessons lead us forward to something better.

Sometimes we all need a...

Sometimes we all need a little alone time. It doesn’t mean we are mad, upset, shy or anything else, we just all need some space.

Talk about all that is...

Talk about all that is right and not about all that is wrong with your life. This also applies to your inner voice. If you live in a way that focuses on being more positive, you’ll be healthier, happier and have better relationships with everyone including yourself.

When you are standing on the...

When you are standing on the cusp of major life changes you have to dig deep within yourself to find ways to overcome the fear, doubt and worry that comes with it. The more you keep going the more confidence you gain and the more you will see your new life emerging.

Anytime you feel a struggle entering...

Anytime you feel a struggle entering your life, pause your reaction before your automatic response system kicks in and takes over. Step back from the situation and use the moment to think, and look at the struggle again.

It’s ok if you...

It’s ok if you don’t know exactly where you’re going as long as you are honoring your values along the way.

Thinking positively doesn’t mean that...

Thinking positively doesn’t mean that you live in a world of rainbows and unicorns, where you ignore life’s less pleasant times. Thinking positively means that you respond to difficult situations in a more constructive rather than destructive manner.

In a intelligent circle...

 In a intelligent circle, being intelligent is less valued, what is lacking is humor, not taking things so seriously, a bit of ruggedness. In a low intelligence circle, where nothing is taken seriously, intelligence & some seriousness is more valued in that circle.

Don’t put your life on...

Don’t put your life on pause, waiting for the right career, the perfect relationship, or the pile of money. Focus on the best of what you have right now and be creative with it. Live with the intention that everything will arrive into your life if not, today, one day.

Challenging times can bring into...

Challenging times can bring into your life new ways of doing things, hidden talents and an inner strength that would probably have gone uncovered without them. Within being uncomfortable lies the opportunities to learn, to grow and to transform into the real person you are.

We often hold on to things that...

We often hold on to things that have no real importance today - mistakes, regrets or poor decisions. The thing is that everything we have experienced has taught us something. And so now that we know what not to do, we need to let the lessons lead us forward to what we can do.

No matter how many...

No matter how many books you read, at the end of the day, you have to put yourself out there, travel, meet people, invest, take risks, and write your own story as you go.

You cannot change what you...

You cannot change what you did or did not do in the past, so let it go. The only thing you have control over is how you choose to live now. That's all.

Unfortunately, we can't avoid...

Unfortunately, we can't avoid unexpected events landing in our lives, that's life. What we can do is control how we respond to them. It is what we choose to do that either result in us being defined by the event or the event being merely an experience we change and grow from.

Past interactions, old relationships, and maybe...

Past interactions, old relationships, and maybe some interactive gossip can formulate opinions on anyone. To really understand that person, genuinely engage with them. Be brave enough to openly ask what you’d like to know and be curious enough to listen to what they say.

Letting go doesn’t mean...

Letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care about something anymore. It’s realizing that the only thing you've control over is your next action. You can’t calm the storm – and it’s not worth trying. But what you can do is calm yourself, collect yourself and allow the storm to pass.

If we can face difficult times with a...

If we can face difficult times with a sense that there’s something we can do about them, life gets a lot easier. We can have a brighter tomorrow and 2021 even when things are not looking great today.

Happy Hopeful 2021.
