Tiny Steps

One of my favourite quotes is
'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'.

Tiny steps make way to a great path. Life is not necessarily about reaching that dream, but growing and discovering yourself along the way. It's about finding yourself and becoming the person you can be- reach your potential. It's also about feeling content, and knowing that what you are doing is right. Life is about being you.

Too often, we get lost in the madness of this world. It's really hard to pull things together sometimes. We are unsure what to do next. There is a myriad of challenges, tasks to complete, unexpected circumstances. What you can do is try to focus on one thing at a time and not juggle with too many tasks. Tackle one thing at a time. Give it your full attention and be immersed in that single task fully. In so doing, you don't feel overwhelmed and actually build momentum to tackle what's next. 

We're filled with information everywhere, every day, every moment. It's a real struggle to keep your attention on the thing you really want. It's almost impossible to be you. We tend to forget who we are, trying to live to others' expectations. It's a matter of not feeling pressured, and do what feels right. 

Don't be driven by making a big impact, but by doing daily actions, you will reach whatever you set yourself. Be committed for the long haul. Remember that it takes every single drop of rain to make the river. By being consistent in your daily activities, you'll be able to create an amazing path and create a journey of fulfilment. It's all about the progression, the experience, the journey, not the achievement. 

Life is not a bed of roses. It's a curved road, with an unknown destination. Know that things won't always go the way you want it to be. However, you have the ability to choose how to react. 

Start your journey and don't look back. You were put here for a reason. You have a purpose. Follow and trust your instincts. Look within and you'll see what is it you really want to achieve in this life.

Positive Affirmations

I have always been a great affirmer of positive reinforcements. Positive affirmations bring light in our life. Our thoughts have a tendency to be negative. How many times do you feel like you are being thrown over the edge? We are quick to succumb to doubt, anger, fear.  Deep inside, we are strong, fearless and confident human beings. However, all these positive innate qualities are buried as we grow up, due to criticism, embarrassment and judgement. Our family has expectations from us, everybody seems to know what's best for you. At a young age, it doesn't really matter. Our mind is not fully developed, so we take in everything, without really questioning its significance. Truth is we don't know the impact until much later. Indirectly, we let our inner desires fade away in the process; we don't know any better. We do what we must, based on society's beliefs of the definition of success. Unfortunately, when we don't follow our heart comes a deep sense of un...

Developing Daily Habits

I was made aware of this concept whilst I was reading the book 'The Slight Edge' by Jeff Olson. We have the ability to choose what we want to do with our lives. The distinction between those people who are successful- not referring to financial gain- and those who are unsuccessful comes down to habits. What is it you are making every day that is bringing you forward towards achieving your dreams/ goals. What is it you are doing that is moving you away from your dreams? Successful people do what unsuccessful people don't do. They are committed to self-development, growing, doing what it takes every single day- the mundane actions. Take for example, reading 10 pages a day compounded over time leads to a great deal of pages read. You don't have to start big, but create a momentum. Daily repetitive actions over time lead to accumulation of wealth. The problem here is that not many of us are willing to do those actions every day. We are quick to sink to old habits, we a...

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
