New beginnings A new circle is beginning in your life. Wipe the slate clean as it is time to start over. Out with the old and usher in the new. Life goes in cycles. This is the closing of one cycle and the beginning of another. Although it is difficult to release familiar patterns, relationships, and situations when they no longer empower you, your soul asks that you do not cling to the old. Start your journey to the new horizon. Face your fears and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction. Wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Say yes to endings and beginnings.

Not every task you're working on will feel like it's in alignment with your goals or passions. Sometimes, the work in front of you isn't ideal, or it may not even be what you want to do long term. But remember this-*hard work, no matter where you apply it, is never wasted. The hours you're putting in now are building something beyond the immediate results. You're growing your discipline, resilience, and your ability to push through even when the work doesn't light a fire inside you. These are the qualities that will set you apart when the right opportunities come your way. Not every chapter in your story will be glamorous or exciting, but they all matter. Stay dedicated, stay focused, and trust that the grind you're enduring now is laying the foundation for something greater. The lessons learned in these moments will be invaluable when you finally step into work that truly inspires you. Keep going-you're not just working on the task, you're working on yourself. Stay strong and keep pushing!

Timing is everything…One thing I’ve learned over the years is that life has a way of delivering exactly what you need, just when you least expect it. A chance introduction that leads to something bigger. A conversation that sparks a new direction. An opportunity that opens doors you didn’t even know existed. Or a lesson that, in hindsight, was exactly what you needed to level up. These moments happen when you stay open, keep showing up, and trust the timing. In my world, where the right connection or opportunity can change the trajectory of a career, I’ve seen this play out time and time again. It’s rarely about forcing the moment — it’s about being ready for it. Because when the right person, the right idea, or the right opportunity shows up, you better know how to recognize it and make it count.

🌟 Day 16: Trust the Bigger Picture 🌟 "When God takes something away from you, it’s because He’s making room for something better. Life is full of opportunities—you just need to trust the timing and stay open to what’s coming next." Sometimes, life feels like it’s snatching things away—dreams, relationships, or chances you thought were meant to be yours. 😞 But here’s the truth: every closed door creates space for something new and meaningful to enter. 🚪✨ Opportunities in life often come disguised as challenges or losses. When one chapter ends, it’s not the end of your story—it’s just making room for the next, even better one. 🌱 So instead of clinging to what’s gone, focus on what lies ahead. Believe that there’s a reason behind everything, and trust that what’s meant for you will always find its way. 💡💪 #TrustTheProcess #LifeLessons #StayHopeful #NewBeginnings

Happy Friday the 13th, friends! Some people see this day as unlucky 🐈⬛ but I think it’s the perfect time to flip the script and take control—especially when it comes to your career. Here are 3 career lessons inspired by the superstitions of this spooky day: 1️⃣ Watch out for cracks in the foundation. Just like avoiding cracks on the sidewalk, make sure you’re not ignoring cracks in your career satisfaction. Take stock of your current role—what’s missing? What’s energizing? Use this as a moment to think about how to fill those gaps! 2️⃣ Break the mirror—of assumptions. Seven years of bad luck? Not if you shatter outdated thinking about your career path! Remember, up isn’t the only way 🚀. Lateral moves, stretch projects, or even realignment can open doors you didn’t know existed. 3️⃣ Cross that path—courageously. Black cats might cross your path, but let them! Sometimes taking risks—like having a career conversation or pursuing a new opportunity—is the best way to grow. Don’t wait for someone else to light the path; take the first step. Embrace today as a chance to rewrite your narrative. Who knows? Friday the 13th could be your lucky day🍀for growth! How will you challenge career superstitions today? 💡 Share below—I’d love to hear your thoughts! #CareerDevelopment #LoveEmOrLoseEm #FridayThe13th

How do we tap into hidden potential and open to new possibilities in life? 🤔 The short answer is: it’s both an inner game and an outer game. If we can cultivate helpful and productive mindsets (inner) and move in the direction of what inspires us (outer), we stand a much greater chance of expanding our horizons and discovering previously unseen opportunities. (Note: “Games” - be they inner or outer - imply play, so being playful, curious, and willing to explore and experiment are essential!) I have built an entire course around this subject of Opening to Greater Possibilities - because it fascinates me. You can preview the course for free. Click on the below image for all the details. 👀

What is the most rewarding thing you can hear later in your career? “𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺.” or “𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘦.“ Hearing those words was more fulfilling than any paycheck or title. Here’s why: → It validates your efforts. Knowing you’ve made a tangible difference in someone’s life is incredibly rewarding. → It builds a legacy. Your influence extends beyond your immediate circle. → It touches lives you may never meet. When you help one person succeed, they often go on to help others. → It creates a ripple effect. → Your impact multiplies. → It keeps you grounded. Remembering where you started and how others helped you along the way is humbling. So, how can you be that person for someone else? → Be generous with your time. → Share your knowledge and experiences openly. → Encourage and support those around you. We've all had someone who believed in us when we doubted ourselves. Let’s be that someone for others. In the end - when the job and company are long gone, that relationship is what you have left.
