Have you ever put a lot of work into something that didn’t work out?

Sometimes it might make you feel like you are a failure, but we do not know what the future holds. God knows how our future looks like.

You should be asking how you can be of service to others, maybe then doors will open for you.

I like to keep my blogs short, because it’s not how much information you read on my blog, it’s what it means to you and how you will use it.

Don’t be stuck where you do not want to be, have the courage to get out of it and start over again.

My religion means a lot to me. I have my morning prayer routine where I will ask Jesus to help me through choices in life, to guide me or to send someone on my way, something Great will come my way.

However you go about with your day, just remember that you are special and you are created beautifully.

Go live your purpose in life.

What inspires you?

You have self inspiration and others that inspires you. Self inspiration might be your goals, passions and or interests.

I have lots of goals, but I need to be realistic and start with the one that means the most to me at this moment. For now I want to build my small photography business into a big photography business.

By building on a goal, you need inspiration. You might take it from others that are already where you want to be. Reading books and taking notes also helps reaching your goal.

Inspiration can also come from people that went through difficult times and how they make it to become successful.

Who inspires you? Think of a friend or family member that inspired you. Make a list of your own inspirations throughout your life so far and go back to it on a regular basis when you feel stuck.

Have a lovely, inspirational day

Do you want to start something new (example-study) or maybe start a new career but are too afraid.

Maybe something new is what you need!

You might feel stuck in your current position at work or you are a stay at home Mum with a head full of ideas to start your freelance business.

Make a list of things you want to try, study, create or build (like a business), then take the one thing of your list you feel very afraid to do.

Sometimes the thing you are very afraid of doing will bring you the most success.

After all these years as a photographer, I sometimes feel very afraid to do certain photoshoots, especially if it’s something challenging, but I always believe that God will guide me and I always have a positive mindset.

I challenge you today to try something you love and do not overthink it.

Enjoy your lovely day

Most of us have a busy day which normally starts early in the morning.

I am a mum of two and I wake up early to make sure that lunches are packed and breakfast are served. Once the kids are dropped at school I head back home to have quite time for half an hour. I read my bible and do some meditation afterwards, this routine is so important to me because if I skip I really feel lost the rest of the day, with no direction.

Sometimes I try do do some extra exercise as well, apart from the usual elliptical training, that also gives me an extra positive boost for the day.

Through all of this I need to stay positive.

All you really need is a good start to your day to have a fantastic day.

Stay healthy and happy.

You can be disciplined to create new habits that requires little effort to maintain.

-Over a few weeks you can make a habit stick

-Be consistent with your habit, do it everyday

-Easy does it, start small and build it up over time

-Place reminders to do your habit on a daily basis

-Execute your habit on the same time of the day

-Get help from friends and family to motivate you and tell them about your new habit to stay reminded

-Triggers can help you also to stay on time and track

-If you took away something important to begin your new habit, make sure your new habit is replacing the need.

-It might take some time for your new habit to be perfect, take it easy on yourselves

-Interrupt negative thoughts about new habits with the word ‘but’.

I hope that this article will help you to stay on track (article courtesy of life hack organizations)

Have a lovely day, until tomorrow then.

This morning I was listening to a podcast about a freelancer that build her own brand.

Well, as easy as it may seem or sound I know for sure that a building a successful brand will take years.

This podcast was an inspiration to me to have the ‘afraid’ topic for today’s blog.

Why are we afraid? To tell the truth, I am also afraid when I want to start something new. But, sometimes I just need to do it to know if it’s going to work for me.

Many years back I was very interested in personal coaching for teens and teenagers so I started a coaching workshop at the local gym. It was starting to show some profit after a few months of training. I also included photography in these workshops and helped the students to build better confidence.

After a year I decided to focus more on the photography, so I set up a studio and start to practice baby photography on my new born son.

Then one thing led to the other and I am now doing photo shoots for families, models, products, corporates, etc

Seeing that I always was interested in arts and practicing arts in different mediums, it became clear to me to give art sessions to adults and children on a freelance basis. Although these session are not profitable for now, I enjoy watching people create and having fun.

I never felt afraid to do the things that I love to do, maybe it was just the worry if it will be successful.

Thank God that things went in the directions that were meant for me and still going.

Ladies, do what you love and do not be afraid. Challenge yourselves.

I recently came across an article about Queen Rania in a Harper’s Bazaar magazine where she explains why she made a conscious decision to be outspoken.

Queen Rania is an inspiration to many women, but especially the Arabian women. I wish I could share the whole article with you but it is a few pages long.

There is one thing that she mentioned in the interview that definitely stood out for me and I quote her saying “the greatest support a women can get is from another successful women who lifts her up and tells her ‘you can dream, you can succeed’.

In the UAE and many other countries there’s a huge ladies expat community. It can be a challenge to adapt to a new way of living for many, but with the support of ladies clubs and networking events it can become easier to adapt to your new lifestyle.

Many ladies all over the world are also in need of support with life challenges like divorce, health, mental etc.

Do whatever you can to positively impact others everyday.

Have a lovely day

Are you at peace with yourselves?

If you know you are doing something wrong, this will make you miserable. Only the truth will set you free.

There is a lot of things in life that can make us stumble, it is better for us to life without things that does not really give us peace of mind.

Make the right decisions now and stop putting them off. One day we will give account to the way we have lived.

Go upward and onward, move forward to make progress in your life. Do not live for the moment, tomorrow will come and you need to be prepared for it.

Invest your time to create a beautiful life for yourselves. Get rid of the things in your life that does not make you feel happy, deal with it right now!

When we know we are not doing things in the right way, it will always bother us until we let go of it.

Live, Life, Love
