      • Daily Affirmations for Resilience, Strength, Motivation, and Focus

        The Black Lotus is in bloom. 2019 is about staying focused on the prize and doing the impossible. It's about doing what you planned for a year, in a quarter. And then doing that in a month. And then doing that in a week.

        The only way to do that is to reframe your understanding of who you are.  Which begins with affirmations and finishes with rigorous execution.

      • #Branding: Why Podcasting Is a MUST in 2019!!!
        Here’s my analysis on why Podcasting is a huge opportunity. It’s a 7 billion dollar industry in China already! The US is only a 300M industry in the US. A lot of big players are investing in the space: Google, Apple, Spotify. And even further, audio is the first step to creating a truly connected society. Learn more on today’s episode!

        This episode is a monologue by Jocko Willink where he talks about what it takes to succeed in life. Everything from his voice to the story he tells is gripping, serious, honest, and accurate. I decided to post this because I know it’s a reminder I’ll need to hear often so i figured I’d share it with you!!

      • #Mindset: You Can Fail At Something You Hate, So Why Not Take A Chance on Something You Love?

        The public school system can be a breeding ground for mediocrity. I believe that education is the key to success. But school does not equal education.

        ••
        I know so many people who have been permanently scarred by the mindset that school teaches.
        ••
        So many people who have been put down and made to believe they’re “not smart” just because they have a different path.
        ••
        School doesn’t let you learn the way that makes you unique. Some people can’t read books, they need YouTube videos.
        ••
        School doesn’t give you the freedom to explore your gifts. What if my destiny is to be a fashion influencer and content creator? Should I really spend all my time in calculus?
        ••
        School teaches you to fit in.. but the only way to blossom into your purpose is to stand out.
        ••
        School teaches you that making mistakes is a bad thing. Which is so problematic because as a result people become scared to pursue their dreams.
        ••
        If you’re never brave enough to make a mistake, you’ll never be able to discover success.
        ••
        School teaches you that there is only one way to make it... go to college, go into debt, and get a “secure” job that you secretly hate... which is so far from the truth.
        ••
        If you want to become the person you were meant to be... you have to unlearn these myths and start over from 0.
        ••
        Don’t let your dreams go to the graveyard with you.

      • #Motivation: Own Your Power!!!!

        YOU ARE SPECIAL. STOP FAKING LIKE YOU NOT. YES IM TALKING TO YOU 👀

        ••
        Each one of us is here for a reason. We have been each been given a gift to share with the world. ••
        Success will run after you if you run after your gifts and talents. ••
        Stop waiting until you have more money, until you graduate, or until “you’re ready” to begin living your dreams. There’s never a perfect time to get started.
        ••
        If you’re an artist, if you’re a creator, if you’re a writer. I need you to own and live in your purpose. Even if it’s only for 10mns a day.
        ••
        Because when you own your power, not only will more opportunities begin manifesting for you, but you’ll be able to empower others.

      • #Mindset: How I Bounced Back from Depression and Going Broke -- You Create the Narrative for Your Life


        I can’t believe I gave a commencement speech to 5,000 people. I have a lot to be grateful for.. but this is by far my proudest moment because it represents a huge step for me living my dreams of inspiring and empowering young people everywhere.
        ••
        But in this moment of power, where I stood before parents, educators, government officials, and students -- I wanted to do something different. I wanted to open up about the struggles I went through that propelled me to where I am today.
        ••
        After they listed out all of my academic, career, and business accomplishments -- I had to open up about all the pain and depression that I struggled with. I had to remind people that no matter what it looks like on the outside, we all had to start somewhere. So trust your process.
        ••
        Most people never talk about their failures, they only give you the highlight reel out of insecurity. But I am owning my failures because it is during my darkest moments that I learned to embrace my light.
        ••
        I still have insecurities that I'm fighting through, as those closest to me can attest. But I will continue to build myself up so that I can use my insecurities as a source of strength. If you own your weaknesses, they cannot be used against you.
        ••
        Stay strong.
