“It’s only crazy until you do it.” To me it means all big ideas sound a little crazy at first, but that’s the fun of it. There’s no dream unattainable. Know your goal, know one step in the right direction and the rest will fill in as you pursue. Get started and figure it out along the way. Ready, fire, aim. Read more>>

– One of my favorite affirmations is “Problems are my opportunities”. I know life is hard and it will not ever be easier because we face a lot of problems in our lives. However, most of people try to avoid their problems because it is painful. I also used to avoid my problems to be away from the pain it gives me. The moment I realized that I cannot be free from the problems until I face them and fix them, I started considering all my problems as my opportunities to learn and grow. On that day, it changed everything. Since then, every time I have a new problem, now I automatically think about how much I can grow or what I can learn from the process and it gives me the power to go through. Read more>>

“Thankful for the breath. As long as we have breath, we have options!” that quote is implanted both in my heart and my instagram. To me, it means if you have another opportunity to do anything you weren’t able to the day before, that no matter what happens, you were given a chance to start over again and again. I like that it validates that the smallest blessing, like the ability to breathe, is enough motivation to keep going and never lose focus. Read more>>

Something along the lines of “find the path of ease.” Creating systems that remove friction is super important for my brain. Sometimes the path of ease looks like following an inspired inkling to start a new project. Sometimes it looks like building out a system that makes some part of my business easier in the long run. Sometimes it looks like taking a long slow morning to meditate and get grounded before starting my work at 12pm. Finding the path of ease means I’m honest with myself about what is making me anxious and working to remove those friction points to bring more flow into my life and business. Read more>>

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! I’m not a huge fan of sports but I am a huge fan of this quote. If I see someone I want to work with in public for example and i’m getting cold feet to approach them, i’ll say this to myself. If someone asks me if they should hit someone up, i’ll tell them this quote. You have nothing to lose by putting yourself out there – and if you don’t put yourself out there, you’ll never know what you could be missing out on! Shoot your shot – everytime. The worst that could happen is they don’t respond. But at least you tried! Read more>>

“I would like to do with my hands what my eyes would like to see”, I love having the freedom to make a visual proposal based on my ability to draw in my own way, in my case with cut and paste. Read more>>
