Hey guys, what is up!? I’m so happy to be blogging on the regular again. I started Build Strong Vibes over 2 years ago, and kind of drifted off. It’s so easy to get side-tracked by all of the shiny objects, you know?
At the end of the day, this is what fuels my fire. I am so passionate about sharing my life in a way that I like to think benefits others. Those of you who have been around for awhile know I have straight been through some shit in my life, and I have figured out how to kind of deal with what life throws at me.
Anyway, this isn’t about my crazy life. This is about the secret to success. But, I just like to remind you that I have not had it easy. I began by feeling self-conscious, anxious + depressed yet still pushed through to the other side and am now beginning to live my dream. So, keep that in mind.
What Defines Success
So, what is
And I say think, because that’s what it is. Rich people commit suicide all the time, so I think that proves that money alone solves nothing.
Success to me does include money, of course. Money is an amplifier. So, if you are a kind + giving person you will have so much more to give with money. You know? But to me success is more about time than money.
Do you spend your time waiting for the week to be over? Are you with a douche-bag guy that you are too afraid to leave? Surrounded by “fake friends”?
Or are you picky with what you let into your life? Are you doing what you live with your time?
That to me is what defines success.
Here is a secret… Are you ready!? Are you READY?
Success is a Choice
Yupp. Success is a motherf*cking choice. You can choose to be successful just like you choose your outfit for the day. It’s that easy.
If you work a 9-5, spend time figuring out how you can monetize your passion. Even though you may not be able to just up and quit, you can start getting the wheels turning at any time.
If you are in a relationship that you even question about being in, break up. Life is too short to not absolutely love who you’re with. (This doesn’t mean quit at the first challenge. But if you can see that there are more cons than pros to your relationship GTFO)
If you aren’t happy, figure out what makes you happy. I know this will piss some people off, but it’s the truth. Happiness is a choice. It’s not always an easy choice, but a choice nonetheless. And I get it, it is so easy to get wrapped up in the cycle. Work, spend your time off drinking/binging TV/anything to take your mind off hating your job. I’m not coming from a judgmental place at all, more like a place of understanding where you’re out and wanting to give you the power to change your life.
Find what makes you happy, and spend your time doing it. Happiness is more important than money, but the happier you are the more money you can make. This brings me to my next point.
The Quality of Your Life is Your Business Card
While this is especially true if you are someone who is looking for clients and customers, it’s true in any area of work. I’ve pretty much landed every single job interview I’ve ever had because I walked in happy, confident, and knowing that the main thing the interviewer wants to know is what it will be like working with me.
Skills can be taught, your personality cannot.
But, if you do want time freedom and passive income, I’m assuming you plan on doing something like I do. A lot of you are (aspiring) bloggers, network marketers and small business owners.
I’ll try not to get too woo-woo on you, but people don’t necessarily buy your services, they buy your energy. I personally spend more time on being happy than I do any kind of strategy because I know that if people watch my life, see that I am happy, they will want to live this way too. I know a lot of people overdo this to an extent, and I clearly am not one of those people. LOL. But, if you think that working in bed next to your dog sounds like a dream then you’re my girl.
When you value your life, yourself, and your happiness and are the best version of
I swear, I can look at someone’s selfie and tell you how secure they are and the quality of their life. Haha I’m TELLING YOU. Even if you don’t have my powers, there is still this subconscious feeling when someone is “off” and it makes you not want to buy from them – even if they are a good person with good intentions.
How You Can Choose Success Right Now
Okay, I know this post is long AF. If you’ve hung around this long, here’s the part where we change your life. And also, thanks for hanging around.
- Write down 5-10 feelings that you want to feel. Ex: Happy, free, successful, adventurous – whatever
- Take each item and then write 5-10 things you can do to feel that way now with the resources you have
- Make sure to do as many of those things as you can on the regular! If you want to be successful in the future, you have to start now with what you have. Your resources (like time and money) will grow and evolve as you do, but they can’t grow and evolve without you.
