LIFE GUIDE FOR LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE: PART 2.


Hi welcome back!


This post is a continuation of yesterday's post. So If you're ready let's get right into it and start living our best LIVES.


IT'S OK TO SAY NO!


Don't be a people pleaser and always say yes, yes, yes, because you want everyone to like you or be happy. You'll spread yourself thin and break down.


SPEND TIME WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE:


This is so important, you need to spend time with people who lift you up, encourage you to be your best, believes in your dreams and aspirations. Not nay Sayers and people who competes with you. Also avoid jealous and envious people because they will impede your progress. Find your tribe even if it's a total stranger on social media.


DREAM BIG:


Forget non supporters and naysayers. Most of the time they do not understand your dream. If you have a conviction about your dreams and purpose, go for it. Never let the fear of the unknown get in your way. What's the worst thing that can happen? Maybe failure? That's absolutely ok...take your lessons move on to the next best thing.


It's also important to not let your background, and skin colour, stop you from dreaming big. Dream away, stay focused, work hard and make it happen.


EDUCATE YOURSELF:


In every aspect of your life, from personal, financial, family, just educate yourself and be in the know. You can't possible know everything, but it's important to know a little bit of all things that interest you.


Everything is out there for your discovery. You just have to be willing to put in the time to learn and apply what you have learn to your life.


BE ACCOUNTABLE:


That's the only viable way of accomplishing your dreams and goals. No excuses, just show up every day and do what you said you'd do even if its 5 minutes a day. No one can achieve your dreams and goal for you, only you can so be consistent and stubborn about your dreams and goals.


FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME:


I know as women, we pride ourselves for multitasking, being super women and being everything to everyone else...but hold it, that could be a distraction sometimes because we end up taking on too much and may end up doing nothing at all. 


I understand some of us have many goals and dreams, but is important to focus and master one before moving on to the next.


CELEBRATE EVERY MILESTONE:


Yes, I've said it before and I'm saying it again. A thousand miles begins with the first step, so when you finally take the first step, jump up and celebrate yourself! Yes if you are only able to write one paragraph for a blog post, celebrates it! 


That will give you the much needed momentum to do more amazing things. Every little step counts in the grand scheme of things. So give yourself a pat on the back for the little step you took today.


BE LIMITLESS:


Don't let anyone tell you, you can't do this or that because you are a women, black, immigrant or whatever. It's all in the mind, if you believe you can and are willing to do the work, the sky will be your limit. 


It's never too late to go after what you want. Take full advantage of the opportunities you have and run with it.


BE DETERMINED, AND STUBBORN ABOUT YOUR GOALS:


Figure out what you want, why you want it, how you can get it and keep at it until you get it.  Never give up, find ways to go over your hurdles and keep chipping away a little at a time. It's important to be stubborn, but flexible about how you achieve your set goals. 


For example if your goals is to lose weight, it doesn't mean you have to stick with one particular method (diet) throughout. If situations change, find a way to adapt in a way that still keeps you on the track to your ultimate goal.


YOU'RE NOT PERFECT:


Yes, you are not, and that totally ok. You'll make mistakes, fail and make detrimental decisions that will cost you something, but don't let deter you. Learn the lessons from your mistakes and move on with your head up and shoulders up.


Thank you so much for reading this. Life is beautiful and we only live once. Let's make the most of it by taking charge of our lives. Be the best version of yourself and do not worry so much what others think of you, your decisions and choices. It's yours your life, so live it on your own terms.


S.M.I.L.E and see you again soon!
