Have you ever wanted something really bad or wanted to achieve something really bad? I mean really, really bad? But had no idea how you we’re going to get what you wanted, or achieve what you wanted to achieve? I’m sure you have, because haven’t we all?
About 2 years ago I was in the beginning of a new business venture and I had HUGE dreams for my business, but I had no idea where to begin or if I even had the time to achieve everything I wanted to. I had a 6 month old, my husband worked really long hours so I was home alone a lot, I had SO many reasons why I “couldn’t”. Until finally I realized all of those reasons we’re excuses, I mean yes they we’re true, but I was basically giving myself permission to fail. I woke up one morning and realized that the only person who was going to achieve my dreams was me.
I thought back to my childhood and how I NEVER gave myself permission to fail, even when I really sucked at something, I just kept working at it. I think all children do, we as parents teach our kids to dream big, reach for the stars, never say you can’t, yet here we are as parents living mediocre lives, saying we can’t and giving up before we even start.
I finally unlocked the secret to achieving my goals- believing in myself, cheering myself on and holding myself accountable. The next thing I did was tell my mom and my husband- they’re really good cheerleaders. It’s always a good idea to share your goals and dreams, but only with people who are willing to cheer you on.
I started working really hard at telling myself that i could achieve everything i wanted. Your mind can hinder you or help you, if you’re willing to tell yourself positive things your mind will be your best friend, if you speak negatively- your mind will be your worst enemy.
If you don’t believe in your dreams, who will? If you can’t cheer yourself on, there won’t be anyone else to cheer you on either. You deserve the best version of yourself, your family deserves the best version of yourself.
Start being your BIGGEST cheerleader and watch how your life transforms
