Without Weakness, We can't grow.
We all have our moments of weakness and it’s all about how we deal with them. I think weakness is when we give into something we always said we would never do. You cannot run away from it. The only thing you can do is let time do its job and heal it. Because guess what? Time heals everything. What was done, was done. Learn from it. Let it be. Here is here is reward: STRENGTH. If you can get...

F No.
Don’t take no for an answer. If you truly believe in something, do everything you can to get it. Don’t take no for an answer. You will not get anywhere simply by wishing and hoping for it. You need to put everything you have in it and work for it. Do everything you can to get it, even if that means hearing “no’s” all the time. If you truly believe in something,...
“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into...”
Patience obtains everything. -Jeddo (my grandpa) Do you even know how true this is? I am so fortunate to have been told this over and over again for most of my teenage years. It really stuck with me. Wise people are patient. There is no arguing that fact. It is also easier said than done because we all have our impatient moments in life. I would know, sometimes I get so impatient and it ends up...

Caution...comfort zone.
If we are growing, we are always going to be OUT of our comfort zone. Well…shit! Those of you who know me understand why this quote would make me take a step back and breathe. My comfort zone and I are madly in love. We can never leave each other! I know that in any relationship its healthy to have time apart. I decided I am going to spend some time apart from it even though it is going to...

Suck it Stress
Stress isn’t what happens to you. Stress is how you respond to what happens. The good news is that we can choose how we want to respond to it. It’s in our hands. Is something really stressful going on in your life? I think we can all answer “yes” to that question. Just so you know what you are stressing about most likely wont matter in a few years. And if you think it will...

Criticism Conquers.
Do not seek praise. Seek Criticism.
Approval is comforting. We all know that. Get out of your comfort zone. We are most likely to ask for approval on something we have done, and more likely to ask people we know will give us the answer we want to hear. After asking for approval, you will probably feel great about what you have done, especially because others have said so. It is that reassurance...

The Unexpected.
It is the things you don’t choose that make you who you are.
I am a strong person today partly because of genes and mostly because of what I have been through. My parents divorcing 3 years ago, while my mom was newly diagnosed with her breast cancer, was obviously not my choice. My point is that both of those things were out of my control. Here is the problem, I am a control freak. I had...
"I'm always right."
That was my typical bratty line I would say to people everytime I was right about something. I always thought I was right about everything. In fact, I was right even when I was wrong! Honestly, its a great feeling to be right, we all know that.
“Start being wrong and everything is possible.”
Once you prove you are right, it is set in stone. You cannot move with other ideas because once you are...
