There will be a lot of times in life where you will inevitably do things that will hurt someone who doesn’t deserve it, or make mistakes and learn from it, trust yet betrayed, you will hit the rock bottom during some conversations but will heal and the list goes on. People don’t have to like you, people don’t have to love you. They don’t even have to respect you and in all this chaos the most important thing is that when you look in the mirror, you better love, like and respect what you see.
I struggled this way for a long time and felt incredibly frustrated but I wasn’t willing to give up on myself or my life and I built a foolproof framework that took me from exhausted and frustrated to empowered and in control. You need support and strategy to build your pathway forward with clarity and precision. I find that people struggle to get into and live their desired life is a lack of strategy and support to create the balance needed to get and stay on track.
You need to strengthen your emotional tolerance to navigate the displeasure of others and the guilt that can arise from putting yourself first. Emotional tolerance is the make or break of putting yourself in the driver’s seat of your life.Without it, it’s painfully easy to backslide on your boundaries.
You need to set strong boundaries that set the ground rules for respect and reciprocity. Human mind is a complex machine and your thoughts keep it active, thoughts could be darkness and despair or light and hope. Which mind will be healthier? The one that you feed with light. So feed your mind with positivity, embrace peace and love and everything will fall in place.
Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release. You can’t carry all things? Knowing what things to keep and what things to release. Decide what is yours to hold and let go of the rest. Make peace with it, it’s called acceptance. Oftentimes the good things in life are lighter anyways so there’s more room for them. Know your worth. If someone doesn’t value you, it’s time to move on, because people will only show who they really are by how they treat you.
I believe that all human beings have the power to shape their own lives with purpose, meaning, passion and confidence. And I want to help you break the barriers standing in the way of achieving your goals and living your most desired life. Remember, what’s truly yours, will stay and value you. Embrace life filled with confidence, peace, and happiness.
