My Philosophy

Self-Reliance

In life, we’re taught that success is inevitable for those that work hard. Yes, hard work can bring a sense of accomplishment, but it doesn’t necessarily bring fulfillment. There are many hard workers that live a life filled with lack - emotional and financial. What’s missing? The answer could vary, but it comes down to fulfillment. In other words, a sense of peace, joy, and happiness. Such feelings are hard to come by when your focus is on working hard, mostly on the job. This is common, as people are often defined by their occupation. When you meet someone, one of the first questions asked is usually, “What do you do?” Due to this, we believe we are what we do. This is erroneous because ones employment can change instantly. Job security no longer exists.

We often neglect to work on ourselves, which is critical for success. Personal development is a game-changer. It allows one to evaluate habits, beliefs, and conditioning that tend to go unnoticed. Essentially, you’ll tap into our greatest asset, which is the mind. Our ability to think, and to create, is what sets us apart from all living creatures. We have the power to create the lives we were destined to live - beginning with our thoughts. In order to reach our full potential, we must let go of the traditional thinking, and begin to believe in ourselves.
