Are you designing a career or success for your parents, society, money or to please others?
Do you care about what other people think of your work or success?
Do you believe in yourself and have someone on whom you can count for support when you need?
What is your driving force and what advice would you give yourself today about where you want to be and your purpose in life?
I know that I am only as far away from my goals as I allow myself to be.
If you work for yourself or serve others in any capacity, your mission in life is to inspire others but also yourself.
"One cannot find a sense of peace without feeling satisfied about your purpose, your calling and your success."
You need to breathe that in your every moment.
One of my earlier goals, after becoming a mother, was to be able to have my own business so I could be home with my children. Then, I wanted to save enough money regularly to allow my family to take annual vacations. Now I have two kids and when I look back I can proudly say we have always spent school holidays and end-of-the year holidays doing something awesome. We created memories. From long drive to rural towns to overseas holidays, we have done it all. From home cooked food and picnics to lavish restaurant dinner times, we have plenty to talk about regularly.
When I remind myself of my goal, it is easy to feel strengthened and overcome fear of struggles that can come with it. I have passion, purpose and what I do now is undoubtedly my calling.
When I was young I spent months learning Spanish thinking it will prepare me for my future in the USA!
I didn’t complete the course and I don’t live in the USA. Of course if I had learned the language I could use it anywhere in the world, including in Australia.
Life may not go exactly the way you’ve planned but there are many ways you can design opportunities in life. Create your destination!
You can plan, prepare, commit, and grow.
Your only limitation is your imagination and choices you are ready to make. The right choices!
Although it is difficult to remember my goals all the time, I stay focused on the task and the value it brings.
I surround myself with others whose values are similar to mine.
I desire long-lived richness in my life that comes from these relationships.
Building my network with similar values and vision allows me to have visionary richness for a long time to come.
Coaching can be overwhelming but I NEVER feel like leaving.
I remind myself of the valuable experiences it provides me.
I gain life changing experiences from you.
I swim in your thoughts and fly with your dreams.
Best of all, I get to become a part of your goals and visions in life; your success and failures, and we design opportunities where you can heal and thrive.
No more uncertainties or vagueness from working on a blank page or blinking on a cursor.
I know that most of you may have similar or different goals. Goals to build an empire that becomes next Apple or Google, a vision to become the next biggest whoever that you want to become. BUT, let me tell you something.
If you want to be successful. If you want to be satisfied. If you want to connect with yourself. You need to become YOU! Others around you can be examples and inspirations, but you cannot become them and they cannot become you.
You’ve the vision, a purpose, and you have passion to make it happen. There are many ways you can take to get there and that’s the beauty of designing opportunities in life. Make right choices!
If you want to work in a job that pays better is only possible when you gain enough experience or you’ve unique niche and expertise. That reminder about your goal in life will keep you committed for as long as it takes to equip yourself for another role elsewhere.

Today, I know that it is important to make better choices to create happy future.
Making better choices help you design your opportunities in life. It helps you to live the life you want to be proud of.
Repeat with me: I live in a way today that makes that future possible. Consistently visualising my new reality keeps me going, regardless of my challenges. I AM on the right path.
