So the first step I'd like to share with you today is envisioning your dream life with clarity and purpose. You know, before you embark on any journey, before you embark on any project, you want to be really clear on what you are about to embark on, you need clarity, and you need passion. You know, you need to define your vision, what's your vision? What is it you want to achieve? What's your purpose? What's your goal was your mission. You know, take the time to clarify articulately, or take the time to clarify or to clearly articulate what your dream life looks like. You know, in terms of what age your career relationships, health and personal growth, you also want to set specific goals. You want to set specific goals. You want to break down your vision into specific measurable goals that will help you move closer to realize your dream life. You want to visualize your success. What does that mean? Create a mental picture of yourself, living your dream life, engage your art, engaging all your senses, into and your emotions. To make the vision more valid and compelling. You want to also align with your values. Ensure that your vision and your goals are in alignment with your core values, and your beliefs to create a sense of purpose and fulfillment. You don't want to pursue a vision that it's not in alignment with your core values. You know, you want to take inspire steps, inspire apps inspired actions. Take consistent and purposeful steps towards your goals for your your passion, you know, clarify your vision, you know, to bring your dream life into reality. So that's the first thing you want to do. The second step you want to take is taking consistent actions and stay open to new opportunities that come your way. You know, sometimes we just shut our eyes or shut ourselves out of other opportunities, new opportunities for different reasons that you want to stay open to new opportunities that come your way. You know, you want to do that by developing a routine. Establish a daily and weekly routine that includes tasks and actions align with your goals to maintain consistency in your effort. I always say to people that the result is in the consistency. The consistency is what produces a result. You know, not a one time thing is when you are consistent in whatever you do. That's when you start seeing the the real result. You also want to stay flexible. You want to remain open to adjusting your plans and strategies as needed. Sometimes you might need to tweak things sometimes you might need to adjust things. So you want to be open to adjustment. You want to stay flat Sibyl, you know, you want to embrace change and new opportunities that may arise unexpectedly. You know, you want to also embrace learning by continuously seeking new knowledge, skills and experiences to expand your horizons, you know, to be prepared to seize opportunities that come your way. You know, one thing I say to people is that one of the worst thing that can happen to someone is to have an opportunity and not be prepared for it, it's better to be prepared, and then you don't have the opportunity to have an opportunity, then you are not prepared. I think that's one of the worst thing that can really happen to anyone. I know that for short, it happened to me, years, yes, years ago, and I always coach people to always be prepared, it's better for you to be prepared, and the opportunity never comes your way better than for you not to be prepared and that you have an opportunity. But you can take advantage of that opportunity, because you were not prepared for that opportunity. And you want to network and connect by building relationships with diverse individuals and communities to increase your exposure to potential opportunities and collaborations, you know, partnership is a beautiful thing. You know, one person can accomplish 1000 by two people do 10,000 Can you imagine that not even, it's not doubled? Right, it's 10 times the number. So, collaboration is something you want to be open, you want to stay open to partnership is one something you want to stay open to, you know, you also want to practice gratitude by cultivating a mindset of gratitude for the opportunities that come your way. Right, you want to acknowledge and appreciate the the positive impact they have, they have brought into your life they have on your on your journey towards your goal, you know, you want to the 13th is that you want to surround yourself with positivity like this is so important.

People who are always looking for something looking for 10,000 reasons why something will not work. Instead of looking for reasons why they will work. You want to you want to be mindful of people that you are not you want to distance yourself from people like that. You know, you want to surround you surround yourself with people who who are positive, who will say things that will uplift you say things that will inspire you who say things out, encourage you who say things that will bring the best out of you. People who will say to you, you know what, I know you can do this. I know you've got what it takes. You might not know everything that you need to know at this point. But one thing I know for sure is that you can do this, you've got this, you can do this, you want to you want to surround yourself with people like that.
