hat Drives Me?
Hey guys!
I often
get asked
what drives me.
And my answer is — I
continuously want to keep
challenging myself.
I’m motivated by my
personal growth and I want
to see what I can continue
to accomplish, pursue
what I want in life and
follow my life purpose.
I’m not here to please anyone
but myself, and by doing so I’m
a better person to be around
because I’m positive, instead of
doing what someone else wants
me to do and being miserable.
Your life is just that — yours!
And you need to be true to
yourself. This will take a lot
of courage, but you’ll thank
yourself for it. Stepping out
of your comfort zone and
personally growing is a must.
If we really want success
and growth we have to get
way out of our comfort zone
and go beyond what we
thought was possible. We
need to accept our own life,
no matter what our situation
is. Looking to others for their
approval, for their recognition,
will keep us as slaves to
other people’s opinions.
Growth and change happens
when we peel away all these
false layers that are holding us
back and stopping us from being
true to ourselves and our own
personal growth and challenge.
Look within yourself
and start living for you
— all day, every day.
Stay Blessed
