The Power of a Woman

Life puts you in circumstances that can either make you or break you and knowing that you have the power to make choices is what results in life happening for you.

*************************************************************************** I was reminded today to Believe in the power of my story, to celebrate both what I have and what I don’t have. To be proud of my journey and to be grateful for the community of family and friends that surround me.

There is no magic to achievement. It’s really about Hardwork choices and persistence. Success is not about how much money you make- it’s about the difference you make in other peoples lives. Want to Save the world? That’s starts within you and with your family.

Find people who make you better and choose people who lift you up. Confidence is a muscle - you have to work on it to build it. Failure is an important part of your growth and developing resilience - don’t be afraid to fail.

Sometimes it takes a mentor to see what’s in you before you see it in yourself - so work hard to be as good as the best player you know and then take the worse player you know and help them be better.
