A pace is all about keeping yourself steady enough to progress but slow enough to control. Like anything, if we rush it we can make mistakes, however, if we pace ourselves we can take control and speed through something with ease. 

In this busy world, in order for us to speed up and hustle on through, we need to learn to pace ourselves into a new and into a challenge. Yes, it can be great to be thrown into a deep end as it forces us to make decisions and keep ourselves afloat. However, when we pace ourselves into things, we are doing it at a consistent speed of growth, while ensuring we are moving forward at the same time.  Progress over perfection, even if it means slow and steady.

I challenge you to pace yourself! Take control of things, before you jump right in and see how it can benefit you!

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

When you are trying to figure out what it is you like to be, be creative and go full force into exploring life, questions will always help jolt your thinking.

Below I have collated the top 8 questions that reignite your thinking to figuring out what you want to do with your life.

1. What did you dream of becoming when you were a child?
2. Where do you spend your free time?
3. Listen to your mind wander – What does it really wish it could be doing?
4. What is an activity you do that makes you feel so happy, that when you do it, the time flies by?
5. What type of activities, events, shows, books, media and even people are you attracted to?
6. Letting go of the past – if you let go of any limitations you have placed upon yourself, what would you do?
7. What does success really mean to you? Define your perfect life…
8. You can have any exact amount of money for the rest of your life. How much would you take and how would you use it?

So from the above – have you found yourself closer to identifying what it is you want to do?

Get creative with the above. There is no right or wrong answer, there is just your answer. 

With this, all in mind keep in mind your goals.

Goals are one of the most important parts of any journey, they set the tone for your mission.
Goals provide clarity when times get tough. They reinforce why you are doing, whatever it is you are choosing to do.
Setting goals and visiting them often will keep you motivated.

There is a great saying which reminds us that the importance of virtue…

“There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.” — Alan Cohen

We work to make a living, we work to survive and we work to make a difference. 

We should also rest to live, rest to survive and rest to make a difference. 

Work and rest go hand in hand. The more of the one, then unevenly yoked will be the other. 

The challenge we face is why do we feel so belittled when resting but are always striving to work…

Too many times and repeatedly I hear people say they want things to change… well in order for change, you need to get up and take action.

Whether it be the kg’s you weigh, the people in your life, the addictions you carry or simply your laziness. If you want something to change, you need to get up and start making the changes. There is no remote to life, there is no quick win, there is nothing which will do this all for you. Ultimately it comes down to you and the choice you have to choose to make a change. Build the lifestyle, the

Why not build the lifestyle? Cut out the problems, work out and work off those kg’s, stand up to those addictions, say no to laziness. Your time is now!!!

To remain positive in the chaos and the stress driven lives we face on a daily basis – presents itself as a true challenge. We all have our tough moments and difficulties in which sometimes it is easier to give up or surrender…

We all have our tough moments and difficulties in which sometimes it is easier to give up or surrender…

But, I find the best way to stay positive is to build and create your mindset for optimism and opportunity.

Being positive can be overwhelming for others, but it can also inspire and challenge others – let alone yourself.

Sometimes the difficulties we face in life come from situations out of our control, and other times our difficulties are a direct consequence of the decisions we make.
In life, we cannot change events or their outcome.  We can, however, choose the emotion and meaning we attach to them.

Especially when you are fighting for a goal or working towards a target. You may be stuck to move forward, so find another way but remain positive.

If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan but never the goal. – Unknown

In each journey, there is a timeline. Some are long and some are short…

It is common to be frustrated when you feel like you’re just not good enough, successful or simply not making the impact you dreamed of. Let me remind you that every expert was a beginner and today you are somewhere on that journey between a beginner and an expert. Your timeline now can not be compared to an experts timeline which is at their peak.

Keep on your journey and one day you will be at that point on your timeline you have always dreamed of. You will be the expert!!!

Until you are the expert, you need to absorb, learn, grow, understand, listen and take your time in becoming who you are meant to be.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

What is driving you?

Today I want to prompt your thinking, challenge your motives and encourage you!

Let’s start with your morning:

• What makes you get out of bed?
• Why do you have/do not have breakfast? Is there a reason for either?
• Are you a morning person? What would one word define why you are?
• What would one word define you if you’re a night owl?
• How long does it take you to smile?
• What’re the first thoughts on your mind?

Your daily do:

• Why do you do the job you do?
• Would you do it for free?
• If you don’t have a job, then what would you want to do?
• Are you ever stressed?
• Does stress motivate or hinder you?
• Challenges or no challenges?
• Are you stretching your comfort zone?
• How often?

Spare time: 

• How do you spend it?
• How much spare time do you have?
• Weekdays compared to weekends?
• Do you exercise?
• At home or gym?

The above are just some prompt questions to get you thinking about your drive and or motivation.

Motivation comes from looking at the things you want and realizing what it takes to get it – Unknown

What I would suggest is you take the same idea and ask yourself about all areas of your life.

The more direct yet open questions you ask the more you will need to think about it.

Try writing these down with a pen and paper as a better way to work that brain of yours.

DO IT!

You just got to keep on going! I’m no swimmer but I am persistent. I’m constantly fighting myself about the idea of being where I want to be.

I can see the end, I can see what I want and I know what I want.

However, I also see the present and I don’t entirely see how I am going to get to where I want to go or I don’t always see the results coming through.

But what I do know, is if I continue to push, continue to step it up, to bounce back, to fight harder, I will get there… I will get there.

No matter what comes my way, I need to adjust, I need to embrace and I need to conquer any hindrance. If I fail, I shall try again.

Regardless – I will learn and pivot and go after my goals with a new perspective!

SO CAN YOU!

My challenge to you today is to challenge your fears, be willing to grow and just see what you are really capable of!

 “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it.” — Maya Angelou

And whenever something gets in the way, hinders you and creates a setback. No matter what…

JUST KEEP SWIMMING

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

How we react and act in the moments we encounter can change things in an instant. We all make mistakes in life and there is no point giving yourself the guilt trip about it.

All the guilt in the world cannot change it, however, what you can do is reclaim your confidence moving forward by applying yourself into forgiveness, work to rebuild, and work to make a difference!

Today is a new day and so is tomorrow.

Don’t go into either of these stressed!

 “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it.” — Maya Angelou

Worrying won’t make it easier or better, it won’t change a thing. All it will do is scare you, bring fear and lower your confidence.

Utilize this into a fuel towards making yourself better, prepping yourself, working harder, growing and to be willing to step out of comfort zone!

Embrace these opportunities of creating negatives into positive outcomes.
It ain’t easy, but the hard effort will reap the rewards of self-growth and returns for the future!

Rethink your thoughts today!

If you struggle with self-doubt, you will know that it is you biggest competition. Yes, your peers, your friends or other people may challenge your skills and how you progress, but self-doubt trumps that. Competition can be healthy and so can a good challenge. Funny enough, there is no greater challenge than yourself, however, there comes a limit and a line in which if we pass it can consume us. 

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose. – Wayne Dyer

When you start to self-doubt remember, you didn’t get to where you are today by chance or luck. You have hustled your way here and that speaks for itself. So whatever it is your doubting now, remember you’ve got this and you just need to decide if you will face the opportunity to grow or accept an obstacle and don’t grow at all. Choose wisely as GROWTH will also trump being static or linear.
