What drives you? What sets that fire inside of you and makes you want to go all in? What do you want to gain in life? What do you really want for yourself?
These are all questions you need to get clear on, aka, figuring out your why..
Once you get really clear on what you want and why you want it, you become unstoppable..
Your why can be many things, for everyone it's likley to be different, but getting clear on what you want and why you want it changes everything. This "dream" suddenly becomes a non-negotiable. You will get it- you know why you need to get it and you will make a plan and achieve it. Getting deep and to the root of why whatever it is that you want will set the fire inside you and once that fire is lit- watch out world!
Your dream may be something like starting your own business. If this is the case dig into why you want that business. What would it mean for you to work for yourself? Doing something you are passionate about? Maybe you think "If i start a business I'll be able to to quit the job I hate, and that'll make me happy." Maybe you love your job but you want to start a business to suplemnt your income and be able to afford to take your family on nice vacations. Dig deeper. If you start a business and take that leap and you're able to quit the 9-5 and take those vacations, what else does that mean for you. Maybe it means you dont have to stress about ifnances anymore and that feeling of financial freedom is something you really want in life. To take those vacations you will be making amazing memories with your partner and kids and really feel truly happy without the dread of the credit card bill coming in, or having to return to the job you're unhappy with after its over. How will this feel? Close your eyes, and imagine what it would feel like to have these things?
Get Crystal Clear
Get super clear on what you want. Write it down, everything, in detail. Write what it is you want to do, what this will look like for you. Imagine your life and how you feel. Go into great detail, really put thought into this, don't just write; I want to start a business and take my family on vacation. Write out what the business is, How many clients do yu have? What are those clients like as people? How much money do you make? How much time do you put into it each day? What does your day look like? Where will you go on vacation? What will you do? Where do you live? What else changes when you do this? And most importantly how do you feel now that you have it all?
Why getting clear on your why matters.
Getting clear and envisioning everything that you want, putting it on paper and sitting with those feeling of having it is a very powerful tool. This not only sets the fire inside of you making you want it more , giving you the courage and drive to do anything it takes to get it, it also puts it out into the universe, and helps it become real. This might get a little woo woo but hey, I'm a believer in that shit, it works. Believe it and you can achieve it. Setting intention and knowing the things you're going for is huge. Knowing the feeling of having it all makes you crave it, and you will chase down your dreams like a ravenous wolf.
So once you have gotten clear and written down what you what to a tee and you have sat and felt what it'll be like to have it all, be grateful. Be so grateful for this as if you already have it. What an amazing feeling that is. To be able to provide a better life for your family. To not stress about finances, to have the freedom to work your own way on your own schedule and to be doing something you love.
Now to put in the work
You know what you want, you know what you feel about it. You got deep, whats next?
Now, although I believe in the woo woo, shits not falling out of the sky and into your lap. You need to take action. You know what it is you want, now think about how to achieve it. What are the first steps. Research and figure it out. Make a game plan. What can you do each day to ensure you're working towards your dream life? Maybe its posting about what it is you're doing- creating awareness and generating interest. Maybe it's searching for a perfect location to open your cute little boutique, and looking into grants and other resources that can help you get there. Whatever your dream, the actions are different so look into it, do the research and come up with you plan to set it into action.
Pay attention to signs because once your know what you want the universe starts to deliver, and if your paying attention you can find amazing opportunities that will blow your mind that seemingly appear to you out of nowhere.
Talk to people, network, figure out who is doing what you want to do, and do what they do. NO, I'm not saying to copy them to a tee, but use them as your mentor- tell them if you like or don't. Most people find it super flattering to be someone's role-model so don't be scared ot let them know. If that's not your thing network with people you respect and who you feel are doing well in life. You will start to absorb their energy and start to accomplish things you had never thought possible. Act as the person who you are trying to become- don't be fake just be you, but in the new life you have planned for yourself. You be her/him and your surroundings will adapt to what suits this new version of you.
Stay the path, keep the faith
Your why is going to be what drives you, what can accomplish once you're clear on what you want will surprise you, You overcome the fears, don't let imposter sydrome get to you. Believe you are worthy of having it all. Know that you deserve it. Know that your family deseves it. You're likely to hit bumps in the road but those are just tests on your way. The universe wants to see if you're willing to fight for what you want, and if you want it bad enough. If your why is important enough, trust me you will fight. A break through is just around the corner, you dont drive for hours to get somewhere and turn around becuase of a few pot holes in the road, do you? Well, don't do that in life either. You didn't come this far to turn around and let it all go. You faced fears, you got uncomfortable, and you put in work. Trust in yourself know that you can accomlish it. You have what it takes and it will all pay off. Weather its tomorrow or in a year from now if you keep at it and really put your all into it and think about your why you will get there! Don't lose faith in yourself.
For me, my why is my family and myself, its ok to be a little selfish with your why. After all this is what you want. I want to create a brand for myself, this blog, my socal media, my network marketing. I want to build it into a fucking empire. I want to have a health and wellness brand that is recognized world wide. I want to help people from any walk of life to feel their very best and live the life the deserve to live- happy and healthy. I want this so badly because I never had much. I come from a rough background. I know what its like to struggle. I know what it's like to have nothing. I've been fighting for years to improve my life and let me tell you, I've come miles and miles. I've accomplished alot, but now, I have this dream of a health and wellness brand and I am not willing to give up. I am so far out of my comfort zone I cant even see it! I have made it non-negotiable. I am putting in the work every single day. I am getting closer, building relationships, accomplishing tasks, and checking off goals. Whenever the little voice of self doubt comes in I shut it down and remind myself of my why, so here it is; my why is so that my kids can grow up in stable home with out having to struggle and go through the life that I went though. My why is so that I know one day I can help them buy a home, I can provide them with jobs if thats what they want and need. My why is so that my husband doesn't have to work 18 hour days and have to feel the sadness of missing the kids sports and events. My why is so that little me, the girl who grew up with not alot, will be proud and in awe of who I am. My why is so that I can have the things I want without feeling the doom of massive credit card debt. My why is so I can create beautiful memories with my family and look back on my life and be fucking proud because I was a bad ass bitch and took the chances and created soemthing huge!
Don't give up on your dreams , don't let the self doubt win. Believe in yourself you deserve it. I know it will all be worth it. Just keep going and never forget your why..
Love,
Celeste
