Shake it up bud!

You cannot be your best without first being yourself.  So much of success is about confidence and feeling passionate about an endeavour and how to accomplish it.  Negativity will merely gnaw away at the confidence and sow seeds of doubt and worry.  We need to be resolute and believe in the goals and dreams we set.  We need to take the best from each learning moment and nurture such thoughts and create a belief system, to convince our brains that we are able to do and be as good as we think we can be.  Success breeds success and the more determined we are to reaching our goals the more chance we stand of actually reaching them.  Be highly effective by being highly authentic.  It is no good merely copying from others or trying to do what is the norm, or the rules.  We need to get where we need to be, using our own unique gifts and talents and even though it is good to learn aspects of our goal from others whether through discussing or watching them ultimately, we need to discover our own unique way of accomplishing success.   Take a moment to reflect on the ideas and principles that have real lasting meaning in your life.  Always realign yourself with these things and make them your highest priorities.  If you are being pulled in every direction by forces beyond your control, take time to realign yourself with what you value most in life.  Get to the basics of the things which ignite you and make you happy.  What is important in your life, is what you decide is important and this decision will ultimately create who you are.  Whether it is popular or not, whether it has consequences or makes some less happy or comfortable, the only way to complete the race of life with your goals achieved, is to take hold of your yourself by the scruff of the neck and make it happen.
