When it feels scary to jump, that’s exactly when you jump. Otherwise you end up staying the same place your whole life. And that I can’t do.

Sorry it's been a while, been so busy! Anyway, this article is what I've been looking for - and it just popped onto my Facebook timeline. For a reason.... Probably a good starting point for my Searching For My RADA blog too - especially relating to the first point.

You're Going To Make These Entrepreneurial Mistakes

[becksgjackson]

The common thread that’s driven the American Dream throughout our nation’s 200-year history is the desire to achieve autonomy. The world of entrepreneurship is just one of many roads toward self-determination. It’s also one that’s paved with difficulties for anyone who dares to take the journey. Depending on who you ask, […]

I’m learning to love myself. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Great article and pointers.

More than 70% of college students and 50% of workers are looking for jobs with social impact. Nearly 60% of students are even willing to take pay cut in order to work for a company that represents their values.

FIGHTING AGAINST THE BELITTLING NOISE

I believe everyone of us has to face the belittling noise - whether it’s inside your own head or from someone else you love - the noise that tells you to be scared, to be careful, to not take risks, to doubt in winning, and to not completely believe in yourself. Gathering all of the courage we have to do something bold, big, and risky in trade for a big reward is already hard enough. Let alone being told the negative what-ifs. 

Going against all odds is not an easy thing but if one’s gotta risk for a reward to feel alive then one’s gotta do what one’s gotta do.

For you, it might be your own self or somebody else in your family. For me, it’s my mother. But the fact that she put me through a lot of school competitions since I was little, I learned to deal with myself internally and to rave myself  up for the win. I learned that positive affirmation is extremely powerful in convincing not just your mind to believe in your own power and strength but also your body to endeavor to work hard. 

People were born different and unfortunately not everyone has the appetite for risks and rewards the way you do. It’s almost impossible to change some people to start thinking positively and to stop doubting themselves especially if they’ve already past a quarter of their lives. Because the minute you try to teach them to stop doubting themselves, they doubt the method and whether it’d work (although I’m not saying this cannot be done with the help of a professional life coach).

But for you, for all of you ,who are trying to fight against the belittling noise in this world, you have to shut your ears. You have to ignore those who do not believe that you can change the world. You have to bypass other people’s fear and realize that THAT IS THEIR OWN FEAR, NOT YOURS. You have to listen to yourself and your heart - because only you know what you’re capable of; only you know what your strengths and weaknesses are; only you know what you desperately want and how failing to achieve it would make you feel; only you know what would make your life fulfilled, rich, and rewarding. 

Now, go out there and do your thing. Don’t ever doubt yourself. You can achieve what you believe you can.

I’ve chosen a different path from the rest of the people around me. Everyday I struggle to motivate myself to continue believing in my dreams. Trying to trust in my instincts, that the best things will cost me patience and will reward me with the life I want. Loneliness becomes my companion because of my choices, but it taught me tons of things human beings can not teach you. So, despite the difficulties and depression that comes with building big dreams, I shan’t back down. Not until I can breathe my dreams.

Expectations vs Discovery

When I was a kid, Dad had very big expectations of me. He was an ex Captain in the Sri Lankan and British Army so his expectations were combined with very strict rules of conduct.

As I got a little older, through high school and university I rebelled against these...

[thestyleline]

Before even thinking about starting your own business you have to first commit to becoming the person you were born to be. Not the person you think you should be, the person your parents want you to be, or the person your friends expect you to be. In order to evolve into your true self and create a life you truly love, you have to embrace the inevitable fear and doubt and follow your heart no matter what.

Just love this quote - speaks to the true essence of being an Entrepreneur instead of a Provider or a Business Owner!

I have the power to destroy myself and I have the power to build myself up. It's my decision how I use my power.

I don’t like your opinions, or the way you treat people.
