Hi Aspirers!
It’s a new month with more opportunities coming your way! Also, it’s my birthday month! Don’t stop just because you haven’t reached your goal. You’ll never get there if you stop trying. You will always be one step further by trying than you would have been if you decided to quit.
Sincerely, Courtney Renee
Do you ever take the time to look up and admire the change in nature but wonder why it’s so hard for us to accept change in ourselves sometimes…
Distractions hiders you from moving forward. You want to reach for the stars you have to put on your tunnel vision shades on and GO!
Sincerely, Courtney Renee
To be successful we have to try something we aren’t use to. It’s okay take a leap of faith on something you need to change for the better.

#1 goal for this year.
Now I just go for it and wait for a reaction. Don’t be afraid of change.
We all want success but will you go towards your dreams? Don’t expect anything from no one without hard work.
Sincerely, Courtney Renee
Have you ever been in a funk where you’re just feeling down? You want to do something but you let the time past you by. What do you do? How can you over come it? Well I thought of some tips that could help.
Tip 1#
Find out what’s wrong.
Depression
If you are depressed or think that you are SEEK HELP! Don’t be afraid to go to a family member, friend, or a counselor.
No, I’ve never been depressed but I’ve seen people go through it. Someone could have everything going great for them but still be depressed. Depression is a disease and it must be treated. It’s not a 24 hour cure or a 7 step program. It’ll take time.
If you’re scared to talk to someone there are anynomous hotlines such as DBSA. To get out of depression you must seek help or if someone you know have depression help them. They need to know they aren’t alone.
Rock Bottom
Have you hit rock bottom? Well there’s an upside to that because you can’t go down any further.
For me I’m a planner and like to write things down so if something unexpected comes up I sometimes can’t handle it especially if it has to do with money. For me money isn’t everything but it will get you out of situations when you need to like finding a new place to live or paying bills. For others it could be family, relationship, work, or school problems. Which can be an easy fix sometimes.
We all have to go through difficult times. We all have different solutions on how to succeed. One thing that helps me is finding something that is positive. It could be a quote, poem, song, speech, a person, or whatever. Go to what is positive every time you hit rock bottom to remind yourself THIS ISN’T IT! Remind yourself until you believe it.
Comparing Yourself
Say this out loud.
My name is (insert first and last name). I’m not Beyoncé, a Kardashian, Kanye, or the Queen of England so why should I compare myself to them. We aren’t the same. We don’t have the same up bringing. I don’t even look like them.
Repeat if you need to.
We put so much pressure on ourselves. We are here to do our own great act. We might not have found it yet but it’s coming. Keep looking and comparing yourself to others and you’ll miss your opportunity to shine.
Once we stop comparing ourselves it’ll be easier for us to focus on what’s important which is ourselves.
One big tip I want you to get out of this post is loving ourselves. We are our biggest victory but we can also be our biggest downfall.
I hope these tips help. If so don’t forget to like this post and share it with someone you know.

If you haven’t watched Mindshift from my last #wwydwednesday go watch it before reading this. Click here.
There’s greatness in you and you have to learn how to tune out the critics outside and the critic inside. -Mindshift
We can become our worst critics. We tell ourselves we can’t do it or stop because we failed once or maybe a few times. Everyone failed at something at some point in time. Before we can achieve greatness we must see failure.
People are rewarded in public for what they practiced for years in private. -Mindshift
People on the outside only see what is happening now. They weren’t there when you gave up 50 times, told yourself it can’t be done, and fell down to only crawl to the next step. It takes time. With time success will happen but only when you’re pushing yourself.
Most of us go through life with our brakes on, holding back. Decide to push yourself forward. You got to focus on you. -Mindshift
When you focus on yourself and what needs to be done, it will be done.
You got to learn how to be resourceful, you got to learn how to be creative. -Mindshift
You have to rely on yourself sometimes. Stop waiting for a hand to lead you. You have to lead yourself. Once you do that, you’ll be AMAZING!
I hope you enjoyed reading my favorite quotes from the video and my thoughts about it. I have to constantly stop criticizing myself when I’m struggling with something. When it’s the right time and I’m ready, I mean really ready; it will happen.
Sincerely, Courtney Renee
