‘Do not wage a war on reality, invest in shaping perceptions. Our truth is not what we see. Our truth is the story we choose to believe.’- The Diary of a CEO

Where you are today is not where you are going to be tomorrow. What you are doing right now, it is not what you are going to be doing tomorrow.

The things that you are celebrating now, what is making you happy now, what you are chasing now, it is not what you are going to be chasing tomorrow.

But you have got to change something. Because what you are looking for is not going to happen by accident.

It is not going to happen by accident. You must do something about it. Because nothing is going to happen without you. Your life is not going to change without you.

If you are tired of what is going on in your life, don’t fight yourself. Instead of beating yourself up, why not take your time to question what you have been telling yourself, the story you have been carrying around?

Because where you are is not the problem. What you are doing is not the problem. The real problem is what you are telling yourself. It is what you choose to believe.

If you want to change where you are, you must change your thoughts. If you want to change the direction of your life, you must change the story you are telling yourself. And you must stop believing your own story.

To grow, you must stop believing your own story. Because it is not true.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to change the story you are telling yourself?’

Why Hope Matters

‘No matter what stage of life you’re at right now, keep reminding yourself that it will get better. Just keep being your bad bitch self, and it will all work out the way it’s supposed to in the end, with you ruling your own life on your own terms and no thought for any of the haters.’– Amber Rose

Go to work for yourself. Go to work for your dreams. And be willing to give more, not less. Just know that not everybody is going to celebrate you when you succeed.

But people will have a lot to say if you do not make it. That is okay. Do not let that bother you. Let them talk. Your work is not to stop them from talking. Your work is to keep going, is to keep making a difference. To keep hope alive.

Is it going to be perfect? No, it is going to be hard. But do not give up. Believe in what you are doing. According to Amber, ‘Everytime you trust yourself, every time you do something scary or hard, you become a little bit stronger.‘ That is how we grow. That is how we make progress.

If you want to make yourself stronger, to prepare yourself for what is next, you have got to be true to yourself. The question is, ‘Are you in it for you?’
