What To Do In Your 20s

  1. Release yourself from the pressure of trying to discover the plan for the rest of your life. Much of life is out of your control. What is in your control is to figure out what to do next.
  2. Show up on time. Do your very best where you are. Honor and serve people well.
  3. Move in the direction of your strengths. If I were to ask you what your Top Five Strengths are, would you know?
  4. Don’t place too much value on what a college admission board thinks of you. I am all for college but whether you get into the right one or not won’t determine your fate or future.
  5. Don’t just say thank you. Write ✍ it. Write the people who help you a handwritten thank you note. Don’t limit this to your career either.
  6. Abhor financial debt. Your 20s is an opportunity to set up your 30s and your future with financial strength. A way to do this is to read one financial book a year.
  7. Do life with Iron-sharpeners. Iron sharpens Iron. So one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 Do life with people who elevate your thinking and give you an example to follow.
  8. Develop a consistent exercise routine. Bad news, your body will give a rude awakening when you hit your 30s. Is better to develop that discipline now.
  9. Build your personal network. Who you know is often more important than what you know. Your personal network is tied to your personal net worth.
  10. Meet quarterly with an older, wiser mentor.
  11. Practice humility. Think of others first. Practice humility daily.
  12. Look up and around more than down. This is a reference to your technology use.

What to do next is an excellent read by Jeff Henderson. I love getting his weekly emails and love to be able to share them with others.

Que hacer a los 20s
1.De la presión de tratar de descubrir el plan para el resto de tu vida. Gran parte de la vida está fuera de tu control. Lo que está bajo tu control es averiguar qué hacer a continuación.
2. Preséntese a tiempo. Haz tu mejor esfuerzo donde estés. Honra y serve bien a la gente.
3. Muévete en la dirección de tus puntos fuertes. Si tuviera que preguntarle cuáles son sus cinco fortalezas principales, ¿lo sabría?
4. No le dé demasiado valor a lo que la junta de admisión a la universidad piensa de ti. Estoy completamente a favor de la universidad, pero si ingresas a la correcta o no, no determinará tu destino o futuro.
5. No se limite a decir gracias. Escríbelo ✍. Escribe a las personas que te ayudan una nota de agradecimiento escrita a mano. No limites esto a tu carrera tampoco.
6. Aborrece la deuda financiera. Tus 20 años son una oportunidad para configurar tus 30 y tu futuro con solidez financiera. Una forma de hacer esto es leer un libro financiero al año.
7. Vive la vida con afiladores de hierro. El hierro afila el hierro. Entonces una persona agudiza a otra. Proverbios 27:17 Haz la vida con personas que eleven tu pensamiento y te den ejemplo a seguir.
8. Desarrolle una rutina de ejercicio constante. Malas noticias, tu cuerpo tendrá un duro despertar cuando llegues a los 30. Es mejor desarrollar esa disciplina ahora.
9. Construya su red personal. A quién conoces suele ser más importante que lo que sabes. Su red personal está ligada a su valor neto personal.
Reúnete trimestralmente con un mentor mayor y más sabio.
10. Practica la humildad. Piensa primero en los demás. Practica la humildad a diario.
11. Mire hacia arriba y alrededor más que hacia abajo. Esta es una referencia a su uso de la tecnología.

Qué hacer a continuación es una excelente lectura de Jeff Henderson. Me encanta recibir sus correos electrónicos semanales y me encanta poder compartirlos con los demás.

My Daughter, My Inspiration

I don’t know why I introduced Alexa to Keyani.  All she wants to do is to talk to her and sometimes they get into arguments. However I do enjoy listening the back and forth conversations. Sometimes I’m glad she is around and sometimes I feel I want to return her. (Not my child, Alexa)haha!
_______________________________

I remember the times when my little precious gift was all a cloud in my head. So little, didn’t know how to hold her, I was so afraid of her choking on her food, I was super afraid I would roll over her in bed when she was next to me. Anyway is was an adventure that I know you lived if you have kids.

Sometimes as parents we feel paralyzed for a lack of better word.  Parenting can be very challenging, but I want you to realize how blessed you are.

As a parent my role as well as your role will never end until you are six feet under. If you do parenting right, the memories,  experiences and seeds of wisdom that you deposit in your child will last throughout your lifetime,  and for many generations after.

That is the legacy you want to leave to your child and their children’s children.  If the legacy is going to happen, we as parents must rise up and begin to take back our children and families.

Keyani was my inspiration to become a Family and Parenting Coach. I am on a mission to have a better life for my daughter and children in this world.  I’m all about providing tools, techniques and tips on how to effectively lead, guide, direct and train my child and your children in a way where they are able to reach their full potential.  I have the best parenting coach there is that helped me get certified. She helped me be where I wanted to be as soon as I found out I was pregnant. She was my GPS and I am greatly blessed. ❤

The First Impression Can Seal The Deal

Charisma, plainly stated, is the ability to draw people to you. And like other character traits, it can be developed. To make yourself the kind of person who attracts others, you need to personify these pointers:


1. Love life: People enjoy leaders who enjoy life. Think of the people you want to spend time with. How would you describe them? Grumpy? Bitter? Depressed? Of course not. They are celebrators, not complainers. They are passionate about life. If you want to attract people. You need to be like the people you enjoy being with.


2. One of the best things you can do for people-which also attracts them to you is to expect the best of them . If you appreciate others, encourage them, and help them reach their potential,  they will love you for it.


3. Give them hope: Hope is the greatest of all possessions.


4. Share yourself: People love leaders who share themselves and their life journey.  As you lead people, give yourself. Share wisdom, resources, and even special occasions.

When it comes to charisma, the bottom line is othermindedness. Leaders who think about others and their concerns before thinking of themselves exhibit charisma.

God Bless you,

See Value In Yourself

You must see value in yourself before you add value to yourself. Self image will determine more than anything else how much you will invest in yourself. Why is it important for you to add value to yourself? Because you can’t give what you do not have. When you get better you can help others get better. Your personal development is the belief that you are worth the effort, time, energy that is needed to develop yourself.

Know your value so you can make the choice to not sell yourself short.

Debes ver valor en ti mismo antes de agregar valor a ti mismo. La imagen propia determinará más que cualquier otra cosa cuánto invertirás en ti mismo. ¿Por qué es importante para ti agregar valor a ti mismo? Porque no puedes dar lo que no tienes. Cuando te mejores, puedes ayudar a otros a mejorar. Su desarrollo personal es la creencia de que vale la pena el esfuerzo, el tiempo y la energía necesarios para desarrollarse.
Conozca su valor para que pueda tomar la decisión de no venderse corto.

The Path Question. Do I Have A Strategy To Reach My Dream?

Do you have a strategy to reach your dream? How do you answer the pathway question? Are you trying to work it out? There is no magic power in having a dream. You can’t just wait for it. You have to work for it. And you have to have a strategy that gives direction and focus to that work.
A strategy is as important a part of the dream as the dream itself.

When I want to create a plan to achieve a dream,  I have to start by creating my position in the process… You need to know your present position. Where am I right now? I have to be honest with my present situation.  A strategy is first trying to understand where you sit in today’s world.  Not where you wish you were or where you hoped you would be, but where you are. Then is trying to understand where you want to be 5 years out. This is exactly what I did when I turned 40 years old however you never late to do this.

“Everyone who got to where they are had to begin where they were.”

You need to understand your future position. Put into words where you want to go. When you identify your future position it gives you direction and motivation to go after your dream.

Never forget to understand the position you are in between.  What steps must you take to get from your present position to your future one. You must set a series of small goals to get where you want to go.

Know that life and the pursuit of dreams are messy. Creating the process is a start, and it gets you going, but it is far from being an exact science. 

Setting realistic goals is one of the hardest things to do, because you don’t always know exactly where you are going, and you shouldn’t. For me setting goals was to go to school and finish everything I have studied in a timely manner. But I have never stopped learning. Once you state your positions know that you need to start doing.

The real difference between a dream and wishful thinking is what you do day to day.

Passion

Experts spend a lot of time trying to figure out what makes people successful. They often look at people’s credentials, intelligence, education, and other factors. But more than anything else, passion makes the difference.

Nobody can be successful unless he loves his work.

There are four truth about passion:

1. Passion is the first step to achievement: Your desire determines your destiny.

2. Passion increases your willpower: There is no substitute for passion. It is fuel for the will. If you want something badly enough, you can find the willpower to achieve it.

3. Passion changes you: If you follow your passion, you can not help becoming a more dedicated, productive person.

4. Passion makes the impossible possible: A leader with great passion and few skills always outperforms a leader with great skills and no passion.

Is passion a characteristic of your life?

How to take ownership of your dream


1. Be willing to bet on yourself. You may succeed if nobody else
believes in you, but you will never succeed if you don’t believe in
yourself.


2. Lead your life instead of accepting your life – making the right
decisions and managing those decisions daily. The power of choice
is the greatest power that a person possesses.


3. Love what you do and do what you love. Successful people – those
who see and seize their dreams – love what they do and do what
they love. They allow their passion and talent to guide them.


4. Don’t compare yourself or your dream to others – when you
compare yourself with those superior, you feel inferior. When you compare yourself with those inferior, you feel superior. When you stop comparing yourself with others, you feel empowered. Success
is doing that best you can with what you have wherever you start in
life.


5. Believe in your vision for the future even when others don’t
understand you. You are not an accident. You are here for a reason.

God Bless,

Remember To Love Yourself

The love of one’s self is by far the greatest gift a person can give. It is the total acceptance of your flaws and shortcomings! I mean “no one is perfect” is a very popular saying, but no one seems to understand that. Many times our zeal to be different and stand out forces us to make irrational decisions that rob us of our beautiful individuality.
Here are some ideas of the things you should do to love yourself more:

1. Accept your flaws 
2. Own your decisions-Do not be sorry when you make decisions that will bring you peace.
3. Avoid toxic people – hang out with people that brings the best in you
4. Always be with those who uplift you
5. Always do the things that make you happy
6. Forgive yourself – we are not perfect
7. Believe in yourself – You have a tremendous potential, be smart, see it, feel it and do whatever you put your mind to do.
8. Be Kind – Always be kind to others
9. Know the boundaries of your sphere

Celebrate your small victories. And understand that you are doing your best just like everyone else is. You are so strong, therefore don’t let anything weigh you down.

Have a lovely week.
