Make it count...my top 8...

Life is what we make it...make it count !

As a woman, we have many roles to fulfill, but to be successful in any of them - we have to feel good about ourselves, and if we can do that, we can do all we put our mind on and more. Somehow we find that energy, that enthusiasm and the drive to tackle whatever comes our way.  I am not saying that everyday will be perfect, but with the right attitude and confidence - we can handle what comes our way and each day can be a happy one.   Here are my top 8 ...
　
* Feel happy about your life and what you are doing.  The happier you are,
the more positive you will look at things and be. Your outlook will generate
a positive and optimistic energy - one that attracts other happy people and one
that drives you to accomplish more in life - whatever you decide that to be.

*Have dreams and don't limit yourself. Everything starts with a dream
and once you do, set your goals. The only person that can stop you
from acheiving your goals is you - so take the drivers seat and make it happen.
Sometimes you might find obstacles, find ways to get past them and focus on the goals.
　
*Get out of your comfort zone and explore new things. You will be amazed
how competent you are at doing the unthinkable. Don't always do what you know,
do what you think you can't. This will get you to try new things, keep you motivated
and achieve new goals you set for yourself. What is the worst thing that can happen,
just go ahead and try.
　
*Embrace mistakes and learn from them. The sooner you realize that making mistakes
is one way to make us stronger, the sooner we will improve our life. Everyone makes
mistakes, and what is important is for us to realize is don't be afraid of not making them,
instead learn and don't repeat the mistake.
　
*You are the only person that makes you feel the way you do.
Focus your energy on efforts to get you closer to your goals.
Care less about what people say and you will stay strong. Let bad comments
fall into deaf ears. If anyone is talking bad about you, they really are not the people you want to
have in your life. 

*Handle one thing at a time, be ready and willing with open arms.
If things get in our way, get to the root of it, stay positive and handle.
We will face difficulties from time to time - don't let that hold you back from
your quest to achieve your dreams and asipirations. Success should be your ultimate goal, 
setbacks and frustrations will be part of the journey, be accepting of them.
　
*Read inspirational books and material.
Be open to try new things that will give you new energy and excitement
about life. Spend  some time reading motivational books and
stories . There is always a takeaway and we could learn so much from someone else. We have 
many things we want to do, and sometimes life happens and takes us longer to finish what we started. Whatever you do, just make sure you finish what you started. This will not only be a great feeling, you will have accomplished what you set out to do.

*Appreciate and celebrate
Nothing pleases me more than to spend time with those I care about.
Take the time to appreciate what you have, be thankful and grateful.
When you set goals and achieve, make sure you also celebrate. You have worked hard to get there,
Appreciate every moment and learn from your journey. Every experience builds who you are.
