Isn’t it strange how we often need to hear certain things from others before we give ourselves permission to believe them? As if our own emotions and intuitions hold less water than the affirmations coming from someone else?

I remember a time when I was so wrapped up in seeking approval and direction from outside forces that I lost touch with my own inner compass. I felt lost, misplaced in my own life. Does that sound familiar?

It was during a particularly turbulent period, where life seemed to do nothing but toss curveballs my way, that I stumbled upon the principles of the LMA course. I had a lot of discussions with close friends about it, and, like a tiny seed of hope, it nestled itself into my mindset. Slowly, as I began to understand the underlying concepts, the transformation began.

I wasn't miraculously reborn. Quite contrary, it was a gradual shedding of layers of self-doubt and limiting beliefs, replaced by an empowering understanding of self-worth and capability. However, what it did was pull me out from an exhaustively repetitive cycle. It led me toward the realization that my perception of reality was deeply skewed.

There's an old adage often attributed to Albert Einstein: “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” How incredibly profound! The moment we allow ourselves to step outside of what we've always known and invite the unknown, our perspective transforms.

Change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with each one of us making an active decision to take ownership of our lives. Remember, we cannot control every event that takes place, but we can control our reaction to them. It's that critical choice that determines our individual paths to success or failure.

And success, dear readers, isn't a destination. It’s a journey—a challenging, invigorating, and life-transforming journey the likes of which I embarked on via the LMA course. My world didn't change overnight, and neither will yours. That's not how it works. But inch by inch, step by step, little by little, you will get there. And you’ll learn to notice and appreciate the changes as they come.

Do you remember when I mentioned feeling lost? Well, that was undeniably a part of my journey too. But it was also the catalyst that pushed me toward personal growth and developing an undying spirit of perseverance—the precursor to becoming a Success Insider. It made me realize, in no uncertain terms, that we all have a story to tell—a magnificent, messy, beautifully relentless story.

So, at this very moment, reading this, if you're feeling like you need a little push, a nudge in a new direction, or even a seismic shift, this is it. This right here is your affirmation wrapped in my experiences and shared with you with all the compassion and earnestness of a dear friend.

Always remember, your strength doesn't come from winning. It comes from the struggles and the hardship, the constant learning and unlearning, the readiness to accept ‘I don't know' and the willingness to say ‘I'll figure it out'.

Self-belief is the powerful, unwavering voice within you that says, despite everything, you can, and you will. So ask yourself, are you ready to believe in your own potential and charisma?

Leave two 🔥🔥 if that is something you needed to hear today!
