Go forth this week as though you know everything is going to work out. Think about your goals, hopes and aspirations in the present tense – as though you are already experiencing them in real time. This can make them feel more real, more achievable, and closer than you realise!
You’re much closer than you think!
Dream big and dream often. If your dream doesn’t pan out, you can always dream of something else. The adventure is the best part anyway.
Debbie Harry said, “Dreaming is free.”
I hope that during the upcoming week you achieve the breakthrough you have been working towards. If you are not hoping for a breakthrough, then I hope that you have a lovely week regardless.
It’s worth the effort, I promise.
Sometimes, the best strategy is to detach yourself from the gratification of achievement, but focus on the benefits of the work itself. If you focus too much on the end result, you might miss something amazing along the way.
It is ok if it takes awhile to complete a goal – enjoy the adventure!
Press on and persevere – don’t worry, the view from the top is worth the struggle.
Resilience can be as simple as taking a step forward.
The world is your runway. Take action, take a step forward, and do so with intention and purpose. The less you worry about what other people think, the less self conscious you will be, and the more wonderful your life will be.
You do you.
Our lives are full of competition, to the point where sometimes it feels like you simply can’t get away from it. When you lay the groundwork, put in the hours and do your best and you come in second, sometimes that can sting quite a bit. However, do not despair if you come in second, third, or even sixty-fourth in the competition. It may not feel like it in the moment, but the work you put in does count and eventually will lead to wonderful things, just maybe not in snagging the coveted first spot. Today’s entry is dedicated to Hugo, who valiantly represented Cambridge at the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race this past Sunday, and came in second. Maybe your year will be 2020, Hugo, or maybe your victory has yet to manifest, but either way, you were smashing and should be proud.
Hugo is a legend.
Only ten more days until the official start of spring. Early spring can be a really hopeful time of year, so many things may come to fruition, the promise of warmer weather and related adventures. It is also a great time to reflect on your goals from the beginning of the year, reassess, and maybe set new ones.
Are you looking forward to spring?
The best answer I ever heard to the question “so what are your career goals?” was “I want to be free.” I hope freedom for all of you, whatever that may mean.
Define your own freedom, define your own path.
Thinking about the year ahead? Many people find the new year is a great time to make resolutions pertaining to things they are going to do differently than the previous year. Oftentimes, these resolutions focus on self-improvement in one way or another. Goal setting is important and can be helpful, but perhaps consider making a resolution this year to accept and love yourself as is. Maybe you don’t really need that diet, plan or course, maybe you are great just the way you are.
Resolutions are fab, but so are you.
