Be Absolute!

Life attempts to bring us restrictions in one form or another: from people telling us what we are and are not capable of to where we live or work. So, if those restrictions come from outside forces, why should we add to it by limiting ourselves? We should not change our visions because of what appears to be a limitation. We should not put ourselves in a box or give ourselves a glass ceiling because of what looks like a roadblock or a rejection. We may have to adjust our paths and/or our tasks, but we should stay true to our visions and aspirations. Keep them large; don’t downsize them. Talk about those aspirations as a matter of fact. Be absolute.

When Opportunities Knock, Snatch Them In!

What happens when the opportunities we want start to appear in our lives? How do we treat those opportunities that we’ve worked so hard to obtain? Do we run from them? Do we find a way to talk ourselves out of them?

I was presented with an opportunity not too long ago. This opportunity just happens to be one of those that I think about constantly. It’s one I have written down. It’s one I’ve been busting my ass for to make sure I’m always ready; always prepared. With no negative help from the outside, the negative conversation within began instantly. I could fill up an entire notebook of all the reasons I told myself to let the opportunity drop. “Who is going to listen to me?” “I don’t have things ‘all the way’ together yet.” “Sometimes I’m wingin’ it.” “Do I really have anything to say that people can benefit from?!” “I think I should have more experiences before I give a talk.”

We would never throw that negativity at someone we love, so why would we do this to ourselves?! Unbelievable, right?! I know you can relate. Let’s make a deal with each other. Starting right now, for every opportunity we receive, let’s tell ourselves:

 “I’m grabbing this opportunity by the neck; with both hands! Why? Because I’ve earned this one. I’ve done my research. I’ve asked the right people the right questions. I know my shit. I’ve worked hard for a reason. I’ve prepared myself for this and the other opportunities to follow. My experience says I’m ready. I deserve this. So, I will put this opportunity on my calendar and celebrate this one as a WIN!”

Share with us your wins & your opportunities!

Spring Break: For Adults Only!

When the air starts to get warm, I start to think about traveling. Ok. I think about traveling every day and it has nothing to do with the weather! My point: now is the time for Spring Break. Kids get a Spring Break. Adults need a Spring Break too! Also, this is the time where many of you are finalizing your trips for the rest of 2018. Planning vacations should be fun, but sometimes it can be a chore from deciding where to go, how long to stay, what to do when you get there, to packing!  I am sharing links to a few helpful articles I’ve found that offer travel tips and vacation ideas. Happy Travels!

 Share this with your travel buddies. I would love to know where you are going, so tell me in the comments.
