Stop giving away your power.  When you seek approval to shoot for your goals and dreams, you give away your power. Don’t ask permission to live your life, just go live it! The people you most want approval from may not have your best interest at heart, but rather their own. They may want to protect you, yet not realize your strength. They may not understand, so show them.

Get quiet, listen to your gut, then go for it. It’s ok to get opinions, weigh options, and do your research, after all you want to make sure you’re starting down the right path to your goals. But don’t give away your power, write your own permission slip.

Stay CLEAR…stay FOCUSED…and it will be yours…Heather Frey, President and Founder of SmashFit.com.  Heather had such an amazing post that I asked her permission to reprint it along with my thoughts.

When you quit…you really fail. You have potential…act on it…create results. Results yield a belief which funnels more potential. Even negative results  can be positive…realizing moving forward that you had a 50/50 chance of having a positive outcome…never ever quit! Always “push through” no matter how challenging and daunting it may seem. Then you will truly WIN!!  I remember a quote from the movie “The Replacements“…Gene Hackman told Keanu Reaves that when the game is on the line, winners always want the ball.  do you want the ball?  Do you see yourself as a winner?

Empowerment is within your reach…reach out and grab it…never let go!
