Successful Women: Thoughts, Habits & Motivation

Hey guys!! I'm back, lol. (Why do I feel as though I say this far too often?) How have you all been? Hoping that life is treating you all well and that the deep freeze that's hit the East coast isn't putting too much of a damper on you. 

So I was surfing the web and came across an article on r29 that got me thinking and I wanted to share my thoughts with y'all. The title reads 10 Things Successful Women do every day. The article is written by Lauren Conrad who sprung into the limelight after her time on the MTV reality show "Laguna Beach: The Real O.C., and its spin-off series, "The Hills", who has since managed to remain successful by, among other things, becoming an author and launching a fashion line.

I'm not going to repeat the list for you, but please feel free to read it here. What I'm sharing is what I got from reading the article, the importance of getting into a routine and developing healthy habits. I'm totally guilty of not doing this, and I've seen first hand the ineffectiveness yielded as a result. 

We all want to have a successful year and hopefully keep our goals and resolutions intact throughout the year. Well the way to do that is to check-in on your progress and finding ways to remain motivated. I may want a plethora of things, but without motivation to put me in action, all I'm doing is dreaming. Just like it's been said:

"A Goal Without a Plan is Just a Wish"

Another takeaway from the article is that being successful goes beyond having a thriving business or career, it's about being well-rounded and having a great work-life balance. That however is not being comfortable and content, but includes pushing yourself and your boundaries so that you can grow. Benjamin Franklin said it best: "Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success, have no meaning."

My wish for you is that you find that motivation that will keep you going and pushing yourself to be the best that you can be :)

Love & Bless Y'all!

Stay Pretty & Precious, 
Peace
