Are You Really Happy Or Just Really Confortable ?

I’ve counted three times in my life where I almost got comfortable. Where I went back to a 9-5, benefits and 401k plans, and my nights and weekends free to do what I chose. That’s what was expected of me how I grew up. Balance. That’s easier when life is consistent, when you can clock out at 5 and don’t have to worry about clocking back in until the next day. Instead I chose this life. I chose Uncomfortable. I chose inconvenience. Can greatness be achieved when you are comfortable? Or do you settle for just enough. Mediocrity? What is it? Would you be happy if you settled with doing just enough? That’s the questions I keep asking myself as I make life-changing decisions. Entrepreneurship can be like treading through hell trying to get to heaven. I’m just being honest. It’s not for everybody. You miss a lot. You sacrifice a lot. But knowing that You can contribute to the world, and be of inspiration to someone, no matter what route you choose to take (9-5 or Entreprenuer), is the greatest gift ever. It kind of makes the grueling journey so much worth it. #randomthoug via xonecole.

Relax, Breathe & #LetGo And Live Your Life

Earlier this year, folks at Sanctuary Spa U.K.-based beauty brand has created a beautiful reminder that life is more than just doing — it’s about being. Beyond Sanctuary’s obvious goal of selling its luxurious beauty products, the company also aims to task women with the simple — and free — act of letting go. They asked women about their lifestyle – nearly half said they were feeling moderately or extremely stressed & shockingly 40% feel like they’re about to burn out. They weren’t surprised, they feel it too.
From the everyday never-ending ‘to do’ lists to the pressure the media puts on us to be the ‘perfect woman’. We rush around trying to do more, be more, give more. But we don’t need to be like this 24/7, it’s not healthy. We need to #LetGo of all this pressure every now & again.
Sanctuary are on a mission to get women to Relax, Breathe and #LetGo. So they’ve created a film with advice from women who truly know the importance of stepping back every now and then and appreciating life’s precious moments. Watch this amazing video from the Sanctuary Spa. The U.K.-based beauty brand has created a beautiful reminder that life is more than just doing — it’s about being.

And now let it go #LetGo

First They Laugh Then They Copy

When people laugh or criticize your ideas or a plan that excites you to the core of your being such as an adventure, a new career path, an artistic pursuit, a crazy invention, blog, etc…) and don’t support your dreams just let them be.

If the criticism is coming from your family, partner or a dear old friend, it may be best to simply block it out. Have confidence in your plans, and refuse to hear their crap.

Focus on what you need to do and prove it to yourself. Eventually, you will succeed and become an inspiration for everyone. #truestory
