Plans Need to be Revised Over Time

It’s only natural for your original plans to evolve into different designs over time because the knowledge and insight you gain will help you improve your plans.

As your plans take on different characteristics, your thinking will also have to adjust to those new changes. You may need to add or take away certain portions of reaching your goals so they can move along more naturally.

Insight to what you’re trying to accomplish is everything when it comes to meeting your goals. You can’t get insight without knowledge and action. A transformation occurs in both you and your goals as you move along and powerful changes take place.

Rather than fight changes that come your way, accept them for what they are and move on. If you resist, you won’t be able to recognize the opportunities that change can bring.

Some changes aren’t good for meeting our goals and they become obstacles that we need to overcome, but even those changes are for the good because you learn from that experience. Don’t be so fixated on the failure, that you don’t see the lesson that came from it.

Transformations and changes that aren’t expected or planned can become the best teachers in your life. Those curve balls that life throws your way will either serve to make you stronger and more determined to reach your goals – or stop you dead in your tracks.

Unless you’re flexible enough to adapt to changes and keep focused on the ultimate goal, you’re destined to become stagnant. Accept that your life’s journey will come with high points and pitfalls. Don’t be so unmoving that you can’t change your plans to fit the circumstances.

It’s doubtful that any human being has ever reached the peak of success without facing challenges they didn’t plan on in the beginning. The difference in those successful people is that they confronted the challenges as they appeared and learned how to use them for their benefit.

Just as it takes time to become a world-class athlete and lots of practice and overcoming challenges – it will take time for your plans to come to fulfillment. As time moves on, you’ll finally reach your goals, but not without changes along the way.

A Woman's Independence and Self-Reliance

Being an independent woman is a life skill that will empower you to take control of your life and rely on yourself to accomplish your dreams. The more independent you are, the more freedom you have to focus on what matters most to you and to attain your goals in ways that are important to you. Being an independent woman is not about being alone but it is about honoring your own needs and values over those of others. Independence is the foundation of your adult life. It’s the thing that allows you to make decisions for yourself, do things for yourself, and move through life without a constant feeling of self-doubt or regret. No one reaches the end of their lives regretting the adventurous things they did do. We do, however, often regret the things we didn’t have the courage or ability to do. We all have that family member or friend who likes to constantly offer their free advice, or explanation as to why you should live your life a certain way. Maybe your favorite aunt...

The Skill of Self-Advocacy for Women

Self-advocacy is an important skill that allows women to communicate their needs effectively with others. This includes everyone from bosses to friends, relatives, and spouses. When women master this skill, they can navigate life more easily with resilience, assertiveness, and confidence. Here are a few examples of what it means to be your own self-advocate: Asking for a raise at work and providing legitimate evidence that supports your request. Telling a friend you don’t eat seafood when they recommend it for dinner and suggesting the two of you come up with another idea that pleases everyone involved. Asking a teacher if you can take a math test in a separate room or after class if you get test anxiety. These are all very different examples; but they each communicate a vital part of self-advocacy which is understanding the value you bring to the table, communicating your preferences clearly, and recognizing what you need to feel in contr...
