Beyonce and Oprah aren’t the only women in the world with big dreams and big talent.
You have something special too.
I recently read an article that Tisha Campbell-Martin and Duane Martin agreed to put their own needs first in their marriage. They believe that if our individual goals are priority we’ll be more fulfilled in family life.
That’s brilliant. Imagine how your life could change if you poured 15% of the energy you invest into your kids into yourself.
#MommyMagic would shine bright like diamond.
No matter where you’re beginnings, your goals can be achieved with little focus and a lot of work. Building anything takes a lot of time to find the right combination of time, resources and opportunity.
It can be done. It has been done.
How do we keep ourselves amped about our goals? Getting kids dresses for school, making breakfast, going to work to do the same job, the same way starts to kill your creativity.
( Lord knows I know)
Add some umph to your routine with personal pep talks. It’s perfectly normal for you to boost your confidence by projecting your future career, scholastic and business plans to the world.
As women, we spend so much time affirming our men, kids, friends, even celebrities. It’s time for us to affirm ourselves by valuing our talents, goals and plans.
Don’t be arrogant, but having a positive outlook on your future will inspire those around you.
3 Things you can do to move forward on your plans
-
Start on your business plan, even if you have no money.
-
Put a picture of your dream house on your wall, even if you stay in a shelter.
-
List the characteristics of your dream job, even if you’re a freshman in high school.
It’s never too early to start planning for your future wins.
Keep pushing and believing in your dreams but remember without hard, smart work there will be no reward.
