I give myself permission to succeed

There are some great thoughts/sayings that I will always remember.

"Success is living in joy and following your dreams"

If you pursue what you want, and you appreciate and love life, you are a successful person. Whether that be becoming a multi-millionaire CEO, striving to become a famous musician, opening your own restaurant and building it into an icon in your neighbourhood, or aiming to one day write columns for The Times. We all have dreams and the fact they exist means they are possible to reach.

"Failures only occur if we consent to them. Success only happens if we participate in it."

I'm listening to a Pat Mesiti workshop, "The Purpose Of Prosperity" where he says the above line. People keep doing the same thing, which isn't working, and expecting something different to happen.

He says that everyone needs to give themself permission to succeed. I like that one. So I'm giving myself permission to be really, really, successful in:
1. Being happy and optimistic and focusing on the good in everything and everyone
2. Giving myself me time so I can meditate, read books, attend workshops and listen to inspirational programs.
3. Partake in hobbies and leisure activities such as cooking, bushwalking, the beach, spending time with friends, and creative design.
4. Looking after my body, exercising at least 3x a week, eating well and drinking lots of water
5. Enjoying uni, studying well and completing all assignments on time
6. My job and career development
7. Being a fantastic, patient, loving, thoughtful, considerate, affectionate girlfriend to Rob

I spent last night at Susan's speaking to her and Tanya-Danielle about life and becoming free from our own resistance and head sh*t. It is amazing how little we compliment and commend eachother. How little we say or hear a really sincere "Well Done". Last night I was telling the story of my past and how I've turned my life from 0 to 7 (and I'm striving for 10). My aim in life is to give and bring joy and I believe a career helping others is the most fulfilling. TD said to me "Wow, you're going to go far". It was the first time, for as long as I remember, that I genuinely heard a beautiful compliment like that. I decided right there and then, that I'm going to pro-actively compliment my friends in the same way. TD believes in the concept of 'Pay It Forward', which I also want to adopt. She speaks to organisations and groups for free as long as they donate to the Breast Cancer Foundation of WA. I only wish that all successful people had the same mindset, especially those in the Spritual and Personal Development area.

"The day that will change your life forever, is the day you make the decision about your life that you will change"

Such a simple line but it is so very true.
