I have faced a few challenges in my life so far but most were down to the negativity I surrounded myself with. This made me lose focus on what I could actually do because the negativity made me feel sad and unmotivated to do anything. I believe that this was due to a variety of reasons such as a lack of a true understanding of who I am and associating with the wrong sorts of people and other problems I wish not to disclose. It is this lack of happiness that was not allowing me to reach my full potential. It has even been proved by educational psychologist Maslow who says that everyone needs the basics such as food, drink and shelter to survive but they also need happiness before they can achieve anything meaningful in their lives.
I bet you are asking, well how did I achieve this? I am going to tell you. It is not a easy task but it can be accomplished. I have and I now feel completely refreshed and revitalised and have evolved and I am ready to conquer everything I want to do. My advice to you all is to believe in yourself first and foremost but once you believe in yourself, believe in what you want because if you believe in it – just do it. It doesn’t matter if you are in full time work or a stay at home mum if there is something you believe in – go for it! If it was meant to work out it will. I know some of you are probably saying that but I have kids I need to be there for them. My advice to you with this is you can look after yourself and care and be a good mother to your children. There are many examples of this in society with actresses such as Amanda Abbington and Sara Gilbert and business women such as Karren Brady achieving their goals but being good mothers too. Another piece of advice would be to not set a time frame or goals for this to happen, but if you do be prepared for them to change because it is more than likely they will change. An example – I was supposed to be a qualified teacher this year but it won’t happen until next year but that does not bother me because it is still going to happen.
To sum up I would say that we all go through challenging times or face obstacles but by being happy with ourselves and have the belief in our own abilities. Believe in yourself and the motivation will lead to success.
