Trust In The End Result

Do you have a hard trusting people or ideas you have for yourself in life?  So do I.

I have always had a hard time trusting friends, guys and trusting the bigger picture.  I never wanted to get too close to someone because of the simple fact of getting hurt.  No one wants to be hurt in the result of being open putting your all into someone or something.

Recently, my life has changed a lot.  New friends, new goals and new passions.  I have so many places I want to go and so many things I want to accomplish.  I can't let anyone hold me back from what I want to do.  It's MY life, and I only have one life to live.  With that one life I have to live, I'm going to do everything possible to get to exactly where I want to be.

You can't let others dictate you into doing something "normal".  Normal sucks.  Normal is a disease.  Why be normal when you are a human being?  We should be able to do anything we want with no one telling us otherwise.

I have dreams, goals and a drive to get exactly where I want.  I'm going to take this year and from now on to chase, chase, chase until I am in the place I want to be.  I will never settle to be comfortable.

We need to trust in the end result.  Trust that it will be always be the best for you at that time.  If I believe I can have it, then that's my reality.

Dont let anyone change YOU.

Enjoy the journey in making all your dreams and goals a reality because the journey makes you who you are.

New Year Resolutions?

First of all:  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Today I got asked the obvious question, "What's your New Year resolution?".  I answered back with, "I set goals for myself daily so I don't really believe in New Year resolutions."

 Losing weight, make more money, eat clean and be healthy are all of the most common resolutions that people make.  New Years resolutions typically end up in a fail.  People stick to them for a month or so then the motivation goes from 10 to 0.  It's really sad how we have a designated day for everyone to have "the best year ever".  Every year ends with, "thank god 2012 is over" or "2013 is my year".

I make goals/"resolutions" for myself everyday, every month and every year.  When you keep a goal for days and months it pushes you to achieve those goals easier.  I literally write down new goals and revise the old ones weekly.  It pushes me to go 110% for what I'm hoping to get.  You're never handed anything in life, hard work and dedication is the formula to success.

Successful people don't sit back and watch the game, they are the freaking quarterback and make all the plays.  If you're pursuing success in your life (which most people are) you have to make the decision to take the upcoming day, months and year by the horns and lead with confidence.

Write down what you want.  Write down every goal, plan and desire you ever want and make it a point to pursue everyday in taking the steps to achieve it.  Even if you don't accomplish it on the date you wish to, THAT'S OK.  It doesn't mean it will never happen, just wasn't the right time.  Everything happens for a reason at the times it's supposed to. Firmly believe that.

"Just because we know it's possible, doesn't mean it's real.  It's not real until you see it happen, until it happens to you or one of your friends or your family... Imagine you had everything you wanted, everything.  Imagine you were everything you wanted to be, capture that feeling.  That's the easiest way to manifest what you want." --Big Sean

Success leaves clues.

Dream big dreams, small dreams have no magic.

Future

Don't know what you want to do in your future? THAT'S OK.  I hear it everyday from friends and it kills me because I believe that everyone can be literally ANYTHING they want to be, do ANYTHING they want to do.

I think people sit back and wait for something great to happen to them or something to come upon them for their future.  You have to bust your ass for what you want.  I haven't achieved all of these goals of mine without chasing after them.  It's literally the greatest feeling to cross off that goal on your notebook and be living in the dream you always dreamt.

No I haven't accomplished everything on my list or everything I want in life.  I never will because the list only grows and grows and grows.  We have one life to live.  Think about that for a second.  It's ours, not anyone else's; so stop doing what others want you to do and go for what YOU want.

I always say this:  life is way too short to not go after what you want.  There's no blueprint on how you're supposed to live your life.  Create your own blueprint and live it up.  Strive to be great.  To be great you have to follow in the steps of someone who has what you want, who you believe is great.

Greatness is not in the G.P.A, the degree or the resume of someone, it's their accomplishments and passion for a life they want to live.  Passion, motivation, strive, dedication, drive and focus is the only mindset to have.  Wake up in the morning and ask yourself. "is this how you want to spend your last day", if it's a no, then MAKE A CHANGE to make it the best last day.

"Imagine you had everything you wanted, everything.  Imagine you were everything you wanted to be, and capture that feeling.  That's the easiest way to manifest what you want."  -- Big Sean



Nothing in your life can change unless you MAKE A CHANGE.

Surroundings

Decide where you want to make and make a decision and run for it.  Our path is laid out for us, all we have to do is start running.  Chase what ever it is that you want to be a reality.  Sitting around daydreaming and literally saying, for example, "I can't wait to be rich", is not going to get you rich.  Figuring out exactly where you want and need to be in 1, 5 or even 10 years is a tool for achieving your goals.

The one thing that a lot of people get upset about is that there is no one there with them, supporting them.  Support comes from the ones who believe in you and have faith that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.  The ones who you thought may be there and aren't, probably aren't your true support system.

Why waste your time around the people who don't believe in you and who don't see the world like you do?  That causes a tough relationship when you're so passionate about what you're doing and your "support" doesn't get it, it doesn't click for them.  And that's ok.  I'm not saying to cut them out forever, they just don't see everything the way you do.

Find the ones who you can share all of your excitement, achievements, goals and passions with, those are the ones who last.  They get you, they get where you're coming from, they get where you want to be and they KNOW you can.  Surrounding yourself with positive energy and people makes the WORLD of a difference and keeps you positive and driven.

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."~Nora Roberts

Keep the negativity outside, it's a disease.

Refreshing

When times get tough, people get discouraged.  When things don't go your way, you get upset.  When life throws you curveballs, you move out of the way.

Stop running from what it attracting you.  Everything and everyone is in your life for a reason.  That one tiny occurrence can change your whole future.  Why question fate?  Pursue something different.  There's no point in running from changes.  People live day-to-day with their normal routine which makes me sick.  Quit living and start creating.

Big Sean has been one of my biggest inspirations lately and he says, " Damn near anything we can think is real, and if it's not, we can create it.  See that's the gift we were given... to evolve, advance, create.  I create my own world, I can make any situation reality."

Most people listen and care what others think.  WHY??? They aren't going to help you get to your dream.  Quit listening to downers and start listening to people who have what you want.  It's so simple. You can't take life for granted when you have the whole world in your hands.

It's not there until you see it happen.

WRITE IT DOWN

I always talk about chasing your dreams and going after what you want in life.  I never really talk about how to get there.  How can you create a way to literally be living your dream?  Simple.  Write down every single goal or desire you wish you achieve and make it happen.

Writing down your goals are 100% effective. Before I moved to LA, one night I sat in my dorm room halfway through freshman year at ASU and decided I wanted to make a change.  Biggest party school in the nation, I was in a sorority, and I still wanted to find a way out.  Everyone was stuck in their routine, not making any success for themselves.

 I wrote all my goals down on a piece of paper and pinned it above my desk so that whenever I was on my computer so that I saw what standard I was holding myself to.  I stopped going out, I focused more, I went to the gym every.single.day. because I knew what I needed to do, to get to where I wanted to be.  I wanted to be in Los Angeles as a full time model by June --6 months away.  I didn't tell any of my friends because I didn't want to be all talk.  It was happening no matter what.

Guess what?  June 3rd I was moving into my new studio apartment in the Valley of LA, with my best friend.  I got up and moved.  I was a full time model.  Literally, living my dream, it was like  daydreaming in itself, each and every day.    Like, who walks outside of their apartment and is standing on Sunset Blvd?  Really really cool.  Still, then all I wanted to do was help others and inspire.

It kills me to see people sit around going through their daily routine.  Kills me.  When you write goals down, they're concrete. Permanent, like you can't erase the led and rewrite it a month from now.  What's the point in setting that goal in the first place?  "Oh, I'm  starting my diet tomorrow" "I'll go to the gym tomorrow" "I'll make the decision.....tomorrow".  NO.  How can you achieve anything when they're always an excuse that "someday" you'll do it.

SOMEDAY IS NOT A DAY. PERIOD.

Literally SEE IT.

These are the three quotes I wrote down for my "Goal For Summer 2011" which truly helped:

"Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms carry out your plan."

"Write it down.  Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants; can't into cans; dreams into plans; and plans into reality.  Don't just think it -- ink it!"

"Try.  Make mistake.  Learn.
  Try better.  Make mistake.  Fail.  Learn.
  Try better still.  Make mistake.  Fail.  Learn.
                   Repeat until...
                   Try. Succeed.

Make A Difference

Stress, school, goals & lack of motivation?  Everyone has something that is draining them and putting them down.  School and finals are stressful.  Not knowing what you want to do when you graduate, is stressful.  Personal goals with money, weight, future, whatever it may be... MAKE A CHANGE.

People are scared of change because they don't like to get out of their comfort zone.  But like Kenny Chesney said, "I can't see this world unless I go, outside my comfort zone".  Why are you stuck where you are?  Why don't you see yourself succeeding?  Why can't you go on that diet?  All of this is a LIFESTYLE.

Changes happen when there is a motivation or inspiration pushing them to succeed and achieve only the best.  Don't start TOMORROW or SOMEDAY.  Someday is not a day.  Make it happen and make that one decision to change something in your life for the positive, TODAY.

If you believe, you will achieve.  

Find what motivates you to get up everyday with a smile.
