Those first few steps are going to be hard and you may need to take them on pure faith and will.

To be amazing requires no-one's validation but your own.

It all began with clearly assessing my current situation and then getting clear on what I really wanted and where I wanted to go.

Engaging and collaborating with others whether to ask for help or contribute our own ideas is a sign of strength and confidence.

You could get clear about what you want and go after that goal PRECISELY because it’s hard.

Everything important seemed to stem from consistent action even when I didn't recognize the impact of those actions.

DECIDING gives you clarity and allows you to focus on what you truly want.

I’m not “too busy” or without “extra time”, instead I’m just deciding whether I truly want it. No guilt, no angst, just powerfully deciding.

Decide what action you're going to take first and take it!

I try to revisit what really matters to me and focus on how aligned I am with those priorities.

Big and little. Let them serve as your gratitude reminders that you are awesome and capable and can get through the day.

Don’t miss out on stretching and growing because you think plans might change. If they change, you’ll course-correct.

That’s the secret; staying confident and empowered no matter what’s going on around you.

I challenge the status quo with the right mindset, things seem to shift and I stop doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
