Life deems unavoidable strife….or sometimes it feels that way. Let’s face it, if you are a woman of “purpose” you are constantly setting goals!  Whether it is the pursuit of a degree, expanding your business, or simply investing in yourself, obstacles are sure to arise! These hindrances may seemingly attempt to deter you from accomplishing your dreams, but NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!! Recognize that you possess the power to create,  execute, and flourish! In order to taste success you have to embrace these instances of temporary defeat and press on! Believing in yourself is vital during the process. Here are the top 3 reasons why you are more than capable of achieving anything you put your mind to….and I MEAN ANYTHING!!

1. THERE IS ONLY 1 YOU!

Celebrate this! No-one else has your skill set, brain power, or determination to get things done! Confidence is not a feeling – it is a state of being that only YOU control! Believe in your ability, even if no-one else does because you are uniquely made and one-of-a-kind!

2. LIVE LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS!

You have to see where you are going to know where you are going. Success is a mindset and your mind is stronger than you think. You would not be able to speak on anything that you don’t already have inside of you. You possess the ability to live your life on your own terms… UNAPOLOGETICALLY!

3. UNDERSTAND THAT BEING UNCOMFORTABLE IS PART OF THE PROCESS!

Don’t lose sight of your purpose with negative thinking! Renew your mindset and perspective to move towards what you were called to do in life! In order to progress you have to be pushed out of the womb of mediocrity to experience your true calling! Stress emerges when you realize your limitations, so maintain a spirit of expectation! After all, you have things to accomplish!

So while on your journey of purpose, expect the unexpected but continue to ENCOURAGE YOURSELF! Because part of the joy in the journey is realizing how strong you are and KNOWING that you are… MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!
