Most days I am a rebel, but every now and then I let others judgements and opinions seep in. I suppose that is what makes me human. I know the only way to be successful is to be true to myself, be the Authentic me. Success is not a word with one definition; success is different for everyone. The only way to measure success is against ourselves, not society. It can be a tricky balance; how to be you in a world where Everyone has an opinion. I ask; who are these experts? The "experts" as basing their judgements on their life experience, not yours. Sure, there may be some similarities, but there is only one you in the world. We are unique to the world, therefore no real expert exists but ourselves.

Be your own expert!

 Be true to who you are and you will never go wrong. Trust in your self, base you current understanding on everything that has happened thus far, confidently blaze the path that you choose, and always remember that this is your journey. Own your life and your experience, as this path has been laid for you. There are no wrong turns on the path of life. All of them will lead you to a deeper understanding of who you are and teach you something you did not know. The greatest learning we will ever do is not in college, but in Life School.

A wonderful way to put yourself on the right track is to affirm what you want through writing. If you have time today, make a list of what you want in your life.  Remember this list is ONLY based on you, not your mom, husband, wife, or society. This is a perfect way of welcoming change into your life. Write statements that begin with "I will ..." This list is not just about career, it is about any and all areas of your life. Another idea is to write what success looks like to YOU.

Once you change your thought process from what you don't want to what you will have, you open up the door to your life and allow abundance to flow through.

"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness."

— Thich Nhat Hanh

“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same 


way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you 


can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, 


work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying 


to control.” -Elizabeth Gilbert

 Instead of affirming what you do not want in your life, affirm what you do want. The more energy you give to what isn't working, the more of that you will get.


What we focus on expands. 

Make a list of what you want in your life; but instead of writing "I want...."
write, "I will have...."

Your thought's will pull you into that direction. It is the Law of Attraction.

Our lives are of our design. We always have the power to create the life we want. This is your ride, no-body elses. For much too long, we have allowed other's opinions and judgement's to rule our lives; to make the decisions for us. We all have little voices in our heads from our mothers, fathers, teachers, bosses; Society. We have rolled all of these voices into why we can't, why we are not good enough, why we shouldn't. We have allowed these voices to create the barriers to our happiness. It is time to take ownership of your life, of your happiness. This Life is Your Gift. Be true to yourself and you will find the happiness you long for and deserve.
