I HAD to share this from our guest presenter at The Brunch Club this Friday 💕 #Repost @amandapandawilliams ・・・ I went to seven different schools between the ages of 5 to 14. That’s just over a year at each school if we do the math. ⠀ ⠀ I was always the new girl who was trying to fit in. I would turn up on my first day, feeling confident and eager to make a good impression and make new friends. ⠀ ⠀ Truth is, I never had friends growing up, I was bullied throughout school because I was too ambitious. ⠀ ⠀ (to speed this story up, let’s insert several sad years of people pleasing, dimming my own light and playing small to try and make people like me here - We’re also gonna skip to the massive fucking A’HA moment.) ⠀ I stopped wasting my time chasing other people and trying to fit in. ⠀ ⠀ In my mid-twenties I started obsessively investing in myself, my fitness, my community work, my education and my career, my whole world changed. ⠀ ⠀ I reconnected with the super star that was trapped up inside my inner school girl for far too long. ⠀ ⠀ Once I started releasing this energy, it became contagious and for the first time in my life I felt magnetic. ⠀ ⠀ Ive attracted so many beautiful, cleaver and inspiring humans into my life since I stopped chasing people.⠀ ⠀ I wish I had given up being a follower to be a leader years ago but I’m also a big believer in everything happening for a reason. #dontchasepeople #beyourownhero #leaddontfollow #reflectionpost #empoweryourself #youdoyou #gratitudeattitude #lifelessonslearned ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ (at Gold Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GK9e-A81e/?igshid=1cylui6t1rgfd
