[I am Woman-Words, Thoughts and Reflection] If you want something- you have t...

[Sasha Shantel]

Yes, my friends, time indeed waits for no-one and it is not in your best interest to sit on your laurels and hope that things improve.

The word hope is an inadequate word, it suggests that things may not happen, and leaves the door open for self doubt. I hope to win that race! I hope to get that job! I hope I get that promotion. These are indeed affirmations that will set you on the road to failure.

Now, I don't profess to have it all in the bag. Indeed, I am a working progress. Yet, I can say with true conviction, that since, I began acknowledging my successes and focusing on what I have achieved, I have become a happier and more fulfilled woman. I am now more comfortable in my skin, that I have ever felt before and this is soley down to thinking positively, surrounding myself with people who truly like me, truly love me and evidently want the best for me.

I love seeing the progress of others. Most of us, have not been born with a silver spoon in our mouths, everything we achieve has been a result of sheer blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears!

But, does this not make success more sweeter. When you know that ever step, whether it be small or big is something that has been achieved by you. I smile when I look at my peers and all that they have achieved because life is one of the hardest things we have to do, but what would make it impossible is if we adopted a defeatest attitude.

Things were not supposed to be easy, but then again, would we gain any buzz at all if it was I know for sure that I can say to myself that I am doing my best and I will reach my goal. Everything I need to be great is within me.

This is my message to you- do not compare yourself to others- you are more amazing and unique than you have ever dreamed possible. You possess the power within yourself to make your life renewed. Take pleasure from the achievements of others, for your path is different and the outcome will be a positive one.

With every new day, comes new opportunity, and new lessons to be learned. Tomorrow, I ask that you seize the day, that you remember that you are capable of anything and everything that you want to achieve. Most importantly, I want you to recognise that IF YOU WANT SOMETHING- YOU HAVE TO GO AND GET IT!

The clock starts now- but you set the pace.
