Be determined to handle any challenge in a way that will make you grow.
We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams.
Give yourself another chance to make your dream a reality. Don't allow a delay to become a denial. Raise the bar on yourself, increase your determination, and explode your drive. You will fail your way to success. Everything you experience can be used to grow through...not just to go through. Make your dream happen! You deserve!
The world is waiting for you to wake up to the person you are called to be. Stop listening to the negative inner conversation that's causing you to play small. Focus your mind on positive thoughts, possibilities and solutions that can move you forward. Tap into your creativity and determination and stay busy. Stay focused.
If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.
Our things are not overpriced. I have travelled a lot and I have seen prices of good garments sell for a lot overseas. For instance, overseas you will see linen pants for US$250, but no one will buy a linen pants for that price out here. So I know that price is not the issue.

Believe that you possess a basic goodness, which is the foundation for the greatness you can ultimately achieve.
Sometimes you've got to believe in someone else's belief in you until your belief kicks in.
Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.
