You can’t fail if you never give up

When I was working towards making my dream a reality to become a writer, I would tell myself almost daily, that I can’t fail if I don’t give up. 

There were many times when i questioned all the hours I spent writing, all the work I was doing, if I would ever be able to work for myself solely as a writer. 

It’s take persistence, sometimes it takes years/ decades to achieve your goal. So you need a phrase that is like a mantra that you keep telling yourself in the times where it’s easier to give up.

But remember if you give up then you will never know the potential and the success you could have had and also you will be back at step one thinking about what to do and where to go from here. 

Is it easier to give up? Absolutely. It’s hard work achieving your goals when your friends are at the beach relaxing. This doesn’t mean you can’t carve out some relaxation while you are achieving your goals towards your dream. You just can’t take too long a break, otherwise you will question about going back to achieving your goals. Why? Because it’s hard work. Every day, you set out a routine and within that routine is time carved in to achieve your goals. 

Because you only live once. So why not live your best life? One of my most successful parts of my life was becoming a professional writer and it was because of my hours dedicated and spent writing in all different styles and for different businesses. I received a lot of success personally, which I can look back on my life and go that was a huge highlight of my life. And when you get older you do want to look back and go what did I achieve? 

And it doesn’t mean you are a success in all areas of life but you slammed dunked your goals and can say, because of me, I did this! I achieved what I set out to do. 

So what is your mantra? What is going to keep you going when times are tough? When your goals are hard to achieve? Especially when you are at the beginning or a few weeks in and you realise how you have to actually put effort in to achieve your goal. 

Because making a goal is easy, executing the goal is harder but it’s so worth it. Also you can start with making your goal easier but just focusing on what to do each day or each week to help you achieve your goal. This is called breaking down your goal into easy steps. You will feel small senses of achievement by completing your steps towards your goal each day. This will also help you push further to keep going and one day achieve your goal. 

So what is your goal?

What is your mantra to help you not quit your goal?

I'm the boss

Image by gnanasathees suntharam from Pixabay Sometimes, you might be facing something tough. Something you would rather avoid but you can't.  So pump up the music and remind yourself, you are the boss.  Walk like you are the boss. Shoulders back. Head held high. And your face can be as you want it. No fakeness here. You just be you.  You are going to go all into this situation and you are going to represent yourself.  It does not matter how tough you may feel the situation is. Why? Because, you are the boss.  You got this.  You may not be able to control the outcome, but you are going to show-up and give your best in whatever situation. The best is all you can give, this is what you can control. So give it.  Always be respectful and polite but remember you got this. Be the boss.  #betheboss #confidence #challenges

Have you been told this before?

Image by Hoàng Bình from Pixabay I wonder if anyone has told you, you are a very special and an important person. It doesn't matter if no one has told you because I am telling you right now.  You are special You are amazing You are an important person.  All that matters is that you tell yourself the above over and over, until you smile. Why till you smile? Because that is when you believe it.  Imagine if you could fly.  Where would you go? What would you see? Imagination is by starting to visualise where you want to be, who you want to be... tell yourself or write it down, where do you want to be and who do you want to be? It doesn't matter when.  Just where do you want to be? By visualising every day the same visual thoughts of where you want to be, you start to be motivated to find ways, steps, goals, people to meet to find ways to get where you want to be.  Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to remind yourself what you knew deep down all al...

Be in the moment

Is it soft and smooth or has intricate details or maybe it is heavy and hard?  Think about the size. Does it have its own unique size or is it large, medium or small? What is the shape look like?  Does the object have a scent? For example, maybe a purple object has a lavender scent or maybe a wooden object has a wood scent. Does it smell nice?  Why do you like this object that you are holding? Does it make you smile? Maybe it brings you comfort? Now during your hard times think about this object. Think about how it feels and smells but most important think about how this object makes you feel.  #objects #sensory
