Without a doubt 👆 It's funny sometimes we think to ourselves, "life isn't moving quickly enough for me!" Or "I should be so much further and doing so much more" and as much as we are aware of it, we fail to consciously notice how much we are constantly growing up until this time of the year. Reflect upon the wonderful lessons you've learnt this year and the not so wonderful but really worthwhile ones. Let those be your guide to an even better growth and mastery of your future endeavours in the upcoming year. Small seeds grow into beautiful produce if we harvest and nurture them in the "right" ways. What have you sown - How have you grown? 🤔😘 #WakeUpToWisdom #AsToldByGigi #morning #friday #2017

There are many different philosophies in life - some of us are in competition with others, some with ourselves and others fall somewhere in between the 2. I used to compete with me and everyone around me. Defining much of my success by what I'd been taught was successful. Now I'm less consumed and concerned with the opinions and ideals of others and more focused on creating a reality that is healthy happy and lucrative for me and by my standards. So many of us are working our asses off to go nowhere fast. We have no clue of our direction so we work ourselves in to a hole lot of unhealthy activity and practices. As the new year unfold reassess what you're doing and why you're actually doing it. Working hard and understanding why can be a beautiful thing. Working hard for the wrong reasons however, is energy poorly spent and never regained. Live with purpose. Define this life for yourself and worry less about what you're meant to be and more about who you actually are and what actually makes this life worth living for you. No one can know this for you besides you and your opinion matters. #WakeUpToWisdom #AsToldByGigi#AtelierByGigi #authentic #truth #sundayinspiration

See beyond what you're told to see. Rise above and be discerned. People will often and sometimes always tell you what's not possible and sometimes it's not even what they say but rather their behaviour that will give you serious doubts but you have to believe that what you want and want you dream is actually possible even if you can't quite see how yet. Keep believing. #WakeUpToWisdom #AsToldByGigi #AtelierByGigi #truth Soon to be on the blog 😊 #AtelierByGigi #AsWornByGigi #Fblogger #lifestyleblogger

Your Time is Sacred. Energy is Sacred. Peace is Sacred. ... and you can define this things for yourself for your specific life. Value your time, energy, space, love, art, work and life enough to draw a line in the sand to make time for what is sacred for you. #WakeUpToWisdom #AtelierByGigi #AsToldByGigi #sacred #designyourlife

"A ticket out of town, a look around ... and a safe touch down." Take time for yourself to regroup and don't let anybody make you feel bad for doing so. Mute your social media and maybe for a moment mute your mind to all of the unnecessary banter that revolves around you daily. We all need a minute away. Balance is key. #WakeUpToWisdom #AtelierByGigi #fashionblogger #morningmotivation #monday #lifestyleblogger #khalilgoodmanphotography #byebye 📸@khalilgoodman (at Proutes, Saint George, Barbados)

Today was the International Day of Peace and a reminder that now more than ever we need to exhibit more compassion and less ego. More empathy and less judgment. We live in a world that all about the "I" yet many of us constantly self destruct and care little about not destroying others. For the the next 7 days(at least) actively seek to be more peaceful and more kind. Be more compassionate and spread love ... because love Liberates where hate hold us captive. Love. #WakeUpToWisdom #AsToldByGigi #internationaldayofpeace #worldpeaceday #peace #compassion #kindness

Success starts as a seed of hope and belief and is achieved by smart work and strategy. It starts with your ability to allow yourself to believe you are capable and to recognise your potential. It takes doing what others won't be willing to do. It takes mastering whatever your area of interest is. It requires strategic thinking rather than over thinking. It requires common sense and an insatiable appetite for growth. It takes discipline and endless drive. It takes bravado and the ability to take smart chances. It will require you to muster up the guts to fail many times if need be and still push while learning from each faliure. You aren't going to feel like pushing everyday but be as consistent as you can be. You aren't going to feel like sacrificing sometimes but do it anyway. Mediocrity will be fine for some but for those who seek something else it is the sacrifices we make now and the good habits we cultivate that will create the future we seek later. Find your balance but always remember that you have what it takes, the question is are you willing to do what it takes? #WakeUpToWisdom #AsToldByGigi #success #motivation #meditation #abundance #movement #forward #success
