If you want to create a better world for yourself, do not settle for ‘good enough.’ You are better than good enough!

‘Good enough is how we wind up with relationships that sputter out or grow toxic. Good enough is why we stay in crappy jobs that don’t pay us what we’re worth. Good enough is why we let our physical health go and our spirits sink. Good enough is why we don’t take action to get what we want, and why we are content to remain complacent with what we have.’- Jennifer Cohen

‘Happiness is a destination. Boldness is a direction.’– Jennifer Cohen

Life is not going to throw what you want at you. To get what you want, you have got to take bold action. Without action, nothing is going to work.

‘Belief in yourself is the bedrock of boldness. Once you can build on that belief, you naturally begin to shed the self-doubt, limiting thinking, fear, and excuses that are holding you back.’- Jennifer Cohen.

You can tell yourself anything. But if what you are telling yourself is not making your life better, then you have got to stop it. If you do not stop it, it is going to stop you.

‘Temptations and triggers can derail our beliefs in ourselves. Don’t make it hard for yourself to keep on track. The best way to design a bold-boosting environment is to fill it up with easy ways to focus and be positive.’- Jennifer Cohen

If where you are is not supporting you, you don’t have to be there. If you stay, you will fail. You won’t succeed. To succeed, you have got to change your environment.

‘Creating a bigger, better, bolder life is about collecting the people, places, and experiences that enrich your life.’– Jennifer Cohen

Do not forget that you are your own master. You can create the life you want for yourself. If you are not doing it now, what are you waiting for?
