“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.”
~ Lucille Ball
Your thoughts can be demons, dragging you under; or they can be like the wings of an angel, lifting you higher.
“Why are you so f*cking optimistic?” someone asked me the other day. I could have responded, ‘Why are you so f*cking negative?” But I reminded myself that thinking negatively makes me feel stuck, sad and sick. To succeed we have to have to think positively and have faith in ourselves.
Years ago, when I was unhappy, depressed and stressed in my 9-5 job, I dreamed of leaving and being my own boss. I wanted to live and work with the values important to me—freedom, love, passion, helping others, creativity.
Everyone ‘infected’ me with their fear values. “You’ll fail—stay safe.” “Don’t change—stay the same.” “Don’t aim too high—settle.”
Just as important as faith, as an ability to act. Act from a place of love. Act from a place of optimism. Act on our feeling values. These are the feelings we want to feel.
I wanted to feel happy, energised, passionate and purposeful, but I let the old values rule. I stayed trapped in a job I hated. Like Lucille Ball, I learned the hard way that it didn’t pay to be discouraged. My fear-based thoughts kept me sad, stressed, and exhausted for the best part of 25 years!
Until I reached rock bottom and my heart said ENOUGH!
I decided to surround myself with people who believed I could succeed. Cheerleaders, motivators, inspiring men and women who showed me the way. I know how beneficial the energy of a group of like-minded souls is.
Which is why I developed LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! my bespoke group coaching programme. I knew that when I leveraged the energy of the group, my life changed radically. I was encouraged to follow my passion and do the work I was born to do, be more creative and have an abundance of love—and help others achieve the same, too. I became globally recognised as the Queen of Uplifting Inspiration. Optimism became my superpower. Which is why,in LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I have a super special module to help you transform your thoughts into love-inspired unstoppable actions and break the cycle of fear.
