3 things I wish they told me!

About two years ago I was privileged to speak to a group of young girls who were thinking about going into business or starting some kind of community initiative as young adults.  I was given 15 minutes to inspire them, (not much time for someone who lives to inspire)!!!

As I prepared for this talk many ideas crossed my mind which I knew would have motivated them and in many ways empowered them along their journey, however I wanted to leave them with a thought that would remain. I wanted to impress upon them some ideas that have become my heartbeat, some thoughts that have been the compass for the middle years of my life, I wanted to share with them what I believe are three very important things that every young adult (and old adult) should be told. 

My 15 minute inspirational speech was entitiled...

3 THINGS I WISH THEY TOLD ME!!

1. BE WHO YOU ARE!

There is no one like YOU! YOU are unique, YOU are special, YOU are amazing , YOU are different, YOU are outstanding, YOU were born an original!  Even if two, three or four of you were blessed to be born at the same time, YOU cannot be compared!  Because of this truth you should take pride and pleasure in who you are.  Celebrate YOU! Appreciate YOU! Know, respect and love YOU! 
Most people spend their lives living someone else's dream don't let that be you!!

2. DO WHAT YOU LOVE!

You were created to DO something remarkable! 
I believe that everyone of us were born to make a difference and in some way destined to change the world.  Whatever your 'thing' is...DO THAT! What is your 'thing'? What do you love to do, where do you love to go, who do you love to help, what difference would you love to make?  DO THAT!!!  The world is overflowing with people who are doing what they were told to do or what they feel they must do as opposed to doing what they would LOVE to do.  As long as it is underpinned by honesty, integrity and love...DO YOUR THING!!

3. HAVE WHAT YOU WANT!

I heard someone say 'you can't have everything'.  Then I heard someone else say 'you can have everything, but not all at the same time!'.  I chose to believe the latter.  I am a firm believer that if you work diligently and with integrity and you pace yourself, you can have it ALL!!  Success can be achieved in every area of your life.  Who said you can't have what you want?  I believe that the reason most people don't have what they want is simply because they don't KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!  I wish someone told me I could have what I wanted sooner, because I would have much more than I have right now, and believe me I have been blessed with MUCH!!!

So, there you have it, a taster of my 15 minute inspirational speech!!  It is one that I have given many times since then and it is at the heartbeat of my life's message. 

There is no one like you so BE WHO YOU ARE!
No one can do what you were born to do like you can so DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
There are no limits except the ones you place on yourself so HAVE WHAT YOU WANT!

YES U CAN!!

Be who you are. Do what you love. Have what you want.
