Life is not for the faint hearted.
You can’t succeed in life by being a victim.
You can’t make it to the top by being pitiful and seeking validation from others.
You won’t make progress by trying to please everybody.
Once you understand that there are people who are committed to misunderstanding you, you will care less about their opinions and care more about you.
You will do what you have to do to be successful.
You will say what they don’t like hearing from you if you must stand out.
You must go the extra mile to build the kind of future you want for yourself.
You will stay so committed and focused on your goals that you allow nobody or nothing to throw you off your path to success.
Your path is not their path and their path must not be the same as yours.
Dare to be different.
No one likes associating with a failure.
So, go and be different.
Forget about what they are saying.
Pay no attention to their doubts.
Do your work.
And shut out the distractions.
Don’t be a people pleaser.
People pleasers never live a fulfilled life.
They are always putting other people’s opinion above theirs.
People pleasing will leave you empty and everybody else full.
Make sure that whoever you are depositing into, is putting something back into your life.
If not, you will suddenly find out that you have not lived your life.
Be yourself, always!
Ladies, life is not complicated, you should always do what is best for you at all times.
You must protect yourself from being limited by those who care for you as much as those who blatantly oppose you.
Go forward regardless.
You are your greatest inspiration and challenge.
The moment you rise above fear and validation from others, you are free to live life to the full.
When you get to a point in your life where you are not afraid to lose anyone, relationship, job or business because you know who you are and what you carry inside, you have gotten to the place of freedom.
You are free to be yourself without seeking validation from people.
You are free to live your dreams without fearing competition.
You are free to love and be loved without feeling the need to bend over backwards just to keep the other person by your side.
You are free to be you through and through.
And that is living.
It is living the truth of who you are spirit, soul and body.
That is when you truly know that you are alive.
