The Best Way To Motivate Every Creative

I love what I do. I love it, I love it, I love it. It is days like today that I thank the starry sky above that I've been blessed with the brains, determination, and opportunity to pursue my passions fearlessly. Last night I slept when I wanted to. This morning, I woke up when I … Continue reading The Best Way To Motivate Every Creative →

Due Diligence and Making an Action Plan

So, we've covered 1) how to set goals, and 2) how to make goals achievable. We've also talked a little bit about being consistent. But, what good is all of that if you haven't done your homework? Due diligence is crucial! Careful planning is required for every action plan. Having a wishful to-do list does you … Continue reading Due Diligence and Making an Action Plan →

4 Steps To Making Your Goals More Achievable

In my last post, I went at great lengths to detail exactly HOW to set goals. It might seem a bit self-explanatory but I've worked with a lot of people who are just plain overwhelmed and don't know where to start. If you are one of those people, hopefully my suggestions helped! So, we've established … Continue reading 4 Steps To Making Your Goals More Achievable →

Find Success By Setting Goals

I make lists all of the time: lists of things to do, places to see, what to accomplish. But, what I haven't done in awhile is put together a strategy of how to get there. (My idea of long-term planning is making dinner reservations at the end of the week.) Most of what I've done … Continue reading Find Success By Setting Goals →

The Importance of Consistency

One of the things I struggle with is consistency. I'm a worker bee and I try to be a great friend, but I'm not exactly the most consistent. I guess you could say that consistency is my Achilles' heel. I realize that it's a weakness but when I feel myself slipping, I strive for it. In … Continue reading The Importance of Consistency →

Wanderlust Isn’t For The Faint Hearted

I graduated college with some big plans for myself. I wanted to travel the world immediately after my undergraduate degree was conferred. It would've been sometime in September 2007, when I was on the last leg of my global internship in Thailand. It was amidst a recession and someway, somehow, my phone rang when I … Continue reading Wanderlust Isn’t For The Faint Hearted →

The Only True Wealth Is Health

Steve Jobs is on indefinite medical leave again -- in an email to his staff on MLK Day he cited health reasons. As a quintessential icon of our contemporary culture -- to encompass business, technology, and influence -- it saddens me greatly to see someone as hardworking as he to have to struggle through so … Continue reading The Only True Wealth Is Health →

The Day I Cheated Death

Let me preface this entry by saying that as a child, my death was foretold by a Buddhist monk. It was predicted that I would die in some sort of vehicular accident. I've carried that premonition with me for as long as I could remember in an effort to cheat death. * * * It … Continue reading The Day I Cheated Death →

Feeling Rather Tiny Today

I woke up from one of my infamous 10-minute-dream-flash naps and per my usual routine I scrolled through my timeline to find a (somewhat) ironically poetic mini-meme started my one of my favorite music artists, @ladysov. From the way I've been feeling as of late, it seemed eerily appropriate. I was once that young girl that felt … Continue reading Feeling Rather Tiny Today →

Surrounding Yourself With The Right People

I had this great blog entry planned out, but then I decided I was too tired to write a post and edit it. Instead I decided to vlog and it took just as long...but at least it exercised a different part of my brain and I feel as though I've learned something new. Yay iMovie! … Continue reading Surrounding Yourself With The Right People →
