I live my life day in day out trying to be better than I was.
Trying to build the best life for myself and provide a stable environment filled with love and self-respect for my little boy.
For a period in my life, I was continuously concerned what other people thought of me.
I was looking for outside approval, comparing myself and my life to others.
For a period in my life I was going 100 miles an hour and felt like I was getting nowhere.
Then over time I realized by having goals I felt self-value. The more I worked, the harder I pushed the more I achieved and the more I realized my dreams were not fantasy dreams but goals I was chasing to make my life what I wanted.
The more I pushed the more I realized how no one else’s opinion of me matters. The more confident I was in my decisions and with a clearer understanding of what I want from life and what I want to give back, I felt proud of who I was becoming.
For a long time, without being fully aware of it, I thought people who were successful or already “established” were just lucky. I almost despised money and thought it was the route of all evil until someone I look up to reminded me that money creates options, and that hard work goes hand in hand with that.
Being a mother, and a working mother running my own business, I feel there is not a day goes by where I don’t question if I am working too much, not giving my son enough of me, or not working on my business enough, or not giving my clients enough value or blah blah blah… Any mother can probably relate here….
In the last 4 years I have shifted my focus in life from 100% myself to à having a baby/raising a child, starting/growing a business, building a future for my son and myself that I am proud of.
My daily actions both “in the real world” and “on social media” are ALL driven by that fact above. Being proud of who I am and what example I set for my son and others around me whether it be clients or people I come in contact with near & far…
I write what I BELIEVE. I say what I THINK. I PREACH what I practice.
I am ME. I am true to myself and what I stand for.
Why am I writing this?
Because I was chatting with a fellow mum a few nights ago and realised through our chat, the pressure we put on ourselves and the amount of self-doubt that naturally creeps in to our lives…. It made me think about “expectations” & “perceptions” in life.
I was talking with a client about social media and how it is getting such a bad name for isolation and creating “fake people” yet it can be used as a positive if we just let it… It made me think…
YOUR perception is YOUR reality.
I live my life to better myself, set an example for my son and leave a legacy.
Take it or leave it. This is me. Being true.
Aiming to better in fitness AND better in life.
