#questionforgroup Is letting go still the hardest thing you have to do? Letting go of what? It could be a career path, a deeply entrenched idea, a favored style, a cherished friendship, an expectation, a goal. No matter what we are contemplating letting go of, the process can be anxiety inducing and quite painful. Why? Because having to let go means that we have already formed some sort of an attachment. This attachment likely served us well, providing solace and fulfillment. Yet now, at this juncture, we stand at a crossroads, deliberating whether to nurture the flame or extinguish it entirely. Our choice in this regard should be contingent upon an honest appraisal of the following: -who we currently are, -what we currently want, -the environment we currently thrive in, -the energy we currently need to be surrounded by, -the goals and expectations that are currently realistic, -what we currently can give, and -what we currently hope to receive. Heavy on the word currently. The past is the past. Hard fact, full stop. Vital decisions like who we will keep in our safe space, and what path we will traverse cannot be based on attachments formed in the past, or tethered to former iterations of ourselves. Remember this: -Staying present is an art form. -Sentimentality can lead to stagnancy, work to our detriment and disturb our peace. We can honor the past without becoming ensnared in its clutches. Letting go is not merely acceptable; at times, it is imperative for our ongoing growth and flourishing.

In a world that often pushes us to compromise, we must remember the value we bring. Understanding your worth is key to unlocking your true potential, whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal growth. Your skills, experience, and unique talents result from years of hard work, dedication, and learning. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you deserve; never feel guilty for turning down opportunities that don’t align with your values. You are not defined by what others think of you but by how you see yourself. Believing in your worth isn't about being arrogant; it's about having confidence in your abilities and knowing that you deserve to be treated with respect and fairness. So, stand tall, stay true to yourself, and always remember: You are worthy of the best life offers! 💪✨ #KnowYourWorth #SelfValue #Confidence #Empowerment #YouDeserveBetter

Don’t Let Self-Doubt Hold You Back! It’s all too easy to let insecurities dictate our choices, but remember: every opportunity you hesitate to pursue is a chance missed. Self-belief is the foundation of success. When you trust in your abilities, you unlock potential you didn’t know you had. Apply for that job! Your unique skills and perspective might be exactly what they need. Publish your article! Your voice matters, and you never know who it might inspire. Send that email! You might just make a connection that opens doors you never imagined. Believe in yourself! The journey begins with the confidence to take that first step. Self-rejection is the only thing standing in your way. Every “no” is just a step closer to a “yes.” So go ahead—take that leap! The only thing you have to lose is the opportunity to shine. #SelfBelief #EmpowerYourself #Inspiration #CareerGrowth #NoMoreSelfRejection

𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 Do you have a purpose in your life? If you have been following my weekly posts, you will know I spoke about a recent book that I found captivating. Napoleon Hill wrote seven principles in his 1938 book Outwitting the Devil, released in 2011. The first one is definiteness of purpose. Pondering his list was reasonably thought-provoking. The book is as relevant today as when it was written. Hill was ahead of his time in understanding light and darkness, people and traits, and he was fearless in his pursuit of knowledge. When I look at myself and my clients, those who are most successful and joy-filled have a definite purpose in getting out of bed each morning and greeting the day. When I have a clear purpose, it is easy to set up a plan to achieve it and go about my day. I recently completed writing my book, and I had set timeframes to accomplish steps along the way. I knew where I was going and what the end goal was. Do you have clear objectives for your day… your life, your career? A good friend told me about her aunt, who now has a puppy. Her days are filled with purpose, and all the things she didn’t think she could do, such as a brisk daily walk and cooking healthy meals, are now possible. I also note that when you focus on your purpose, you achieve that purpose. It is a similar scenario for your career. ⚡ Does your current position fill a purpose in your life? (Yes, it is vital to live financially.) ⚡ Intrinsically, does it feed your soul, your passion? ⚡ Is it a stepping stone to your next role? ⚡ Does it feel like you have lost your mojo? Take the time to review your definiteness of purpose – not only for your career but for living life. Hill writes about 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘳𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘮, which is today known as intention. Clarifying our intention often aligns with our purpose. DM me if you want a complimentary Clarity Session to discuss your career purpose.

Today, while I was in my office, I found myself reflecting on a powerful and universal subject: #Fear. It got me thinking deeply about how this emotion affects us all and what it truly takes to overcome it. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this matter: What do you believe it takes to conquer fear? For me, the answer is rooted in self-belief. To vanquish fear, one must have unwavering belief in themselves. Fear, after all, is a formidable force that can consume our very souls if left unchecked. It’s important that we each find a way to master it. Fear can stop an individual from pursuing a new #business opportunity, going after a #contract, landing that dream #job, entering into a meaningful marriage, or embarking on a fulfilling #career. In every one of these scenarios, fear can be a significant barrier. But the key to overcoming it is to take bold steps forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out from the start; you just need to begin. For those looking to build a career in the #marine, #oilandgas, or #construction industries, it’s essential to tackle fear head-on. Enroll in #trainings and #certifications that will equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary for your journey. By doing so, you’ll be better prepared and more confident, paving the way for #success. Conquering fear can transform your life in remarkable ways. It can open doors to new opportunities and lead to personal #growth and fulfillment. So, take that bold step, embrace the journey ahead, and watch as your life begins to take on a new and exciting shape. #oilandgas #maritime #growth #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement

What's yours will eventually come to you. In life, there's a time and place for everything. You don't have to fret, force, or resort to blackmail to achieve what is meant for you. Instead, focus on doing your part and giving your all. Trust the process and believe in the power of perseverance. In your career, this means dedicating yourself to continuous learning and growth. Show up with integrity, put in the hard work, and seize opportunities that align with your goals. Even if progress seems slow, remember that your consistent efforts are laying the groundwork for future success. In relationships, this principle holds true as well. Genuine connections can't be forced. Build meaningful relationships by being authentic, supportive, and understanding. Trust that the right people will come into your life when the time is right. When facing personal challenges, maintain faith in your journey. Sometimes, life’s detours are necessary for personal growth and development. Stay resilient, keep moving forward, and know that what's meant for you will find its way. Believing in this truth alleviates unnecessary stress and fosters a sense of peace. It allows you to focus on the present moment, giving your best without getting entangled in anxiety about the future. #TrustTheProcess #FaithInTheJourney #Perseverance #CareerGrowth #AuthenticConnections #PersonalDevelopment #Resilience #StayFocused #SuccessMindset #HardWorkPaysOff #Patience #BelieveInYourself #GrowthMindset #ProfessionalDevelopment #InnerPeace #Motivation #Inspiration #LifeLessons #KeepGoing #SelfBelief VC: Copyright to the respective video owner

Fight for a life worth living and never default to your comfort zone or a status quo defined by others. No one will live your life for you. The definition of self-worthiness is personal but you can ask yourself these questions as a start: ➡ Are you satisfied with your current career choices? ➡ Are you satisfied with the status of your relationships? ➡ Are you satisfied with your self-development and current state of skills and knowledge? ➡ Are you satisfied with your spiritual life and your relationship with God? ➡ Do you believe you are adding a new meaning to life for those around you? If the answer is "No" to any of the above, set some action points and share them with someone you trust to be your accountability partner. If the answer is "YES" to all of the above, congratulations! You are a true human being 🙌 #extreme_candor #unpopular_opinion #lifeworthliving

This reminds us to practice discernment in all aspects of life. In a world full of distractions and pressures, it’s easy to settle for quick fixes or opportunities that seem convenient. But being selective—whether in relationships, career choices, or personal growth—is about knowing your worth and having the patience to wait for what aligns with your values. When we rush into decisions out of desperation, we often end up with less than we deserve. The cup metaphor suggests that not everything offered to us will nourish or benefit us. Some things may bring temporary satisfaction but cause long-term regret. By being smart and wise, we protect ourselves from making choices that compromise our well-being. This applies strongly to relationships. People sometimes settle for connections that drain rather than uplift them, out of fear of being alone. But true fulfillment comes from relationships that encourage growth, respect, and mutual support. Being selective here is a form of self-respect and ensures that your connections add value to your life. The same is true for career and personal opportunities. Not every offer or path is worth pursuing if it doesn’t contribute to your long-term goals or personal fulfillment. Waiting for the right opportunities requires courage and self-awareness, but it ultimately leads to greater satisfaction. In life, remember: not every cup is worth drinking from. Be intentional with your choices, protect your energy, and choose what genuinely helps you grow. What you wait for is always worth more than what you settle for.

So instead of letting yourself be consumed by frustration or despair, try to embrace the struggle. See it as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Use it as fuel to propel yourself forward, rather than allowing it to hold you back. Take a moment to reflect on past challenges you've overcome. What lessons did you learn? How did those experiences shape you into the person you are today? Look for the silver linings, no matter how small they may seem. Remember, there are hidden blessings in every struggle. Trust in your resilience and your ability to overcome whatever life throws your way. And always keep your eyes open for the opportunities that arise, even in the darkest of times. Need more guidance?
