My 2017 Guiding Principles

“You get what you are, not what you want.” – Les Brown

I originally wrote this as a 2017 wishlist, but wishes are nice to haves. My goals are not nice to haves they are NEED to haves. Instead, I decided to write out a list of my guiding principles which will help me focus on what is important.  

So here goes:

• Transform negative self talk into one of kindness, compassion and patience.
• Embrace setbacks as stepping stones to achieving success.
• Never settle for second best. You deserve better than that.
• Think in abundance. Don’t think about what you’re lacking, instead think about what you’re grateful for.
• “Do what is right, not what is easy.”- Unknown
• Focus on your goals and stop looking for validation.
• Celebrate every achievement regardless of how small or insignificant you think they are.
• Work tirelessly towards your goals because success doesn’t just happen, it is achieved through intentional habits.
• And dream big! Everything is achievable.

With a positive mindset, focus and a lot of grit, I’m hoping to make 2017 my greatest year yet.

Happy New Year!
