Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness pdfdrive com

Find some inspiration
Inspiration keeps me driven and optimistic. Nowadays, there are so many ways
that we can get inspired. Self-help books, newspapers or empowering novels like
The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho are great, as are myriad digital sources of
inspiration such as podcasts. Don’t underestimate the power of a great
inspirational movie, either. I personally find 
The Pursuit of Happyness
, starring
actor Will Smith, very uplifting.
I remember one particular period during which I felt completely lost in life. I’d
just left a job to pursue my own business, selling inspirational T-shirts. I’d
invested my own money, and to my dismay they weren’t selling as well as I’d
hoped. I thought they were going to be sold out within days. I’d read all these
business textbooks, spent hours on fashion blogs and felt like I had all the
knowledge required to a run a successful company and bring something
innovative to the fashion world. However, my reality was proving otherwise.
I was beginning to lose faith in myself and my abilities. I questioned my
direction in life and, on top of this, my mum saw that I was struggling and told
me I should get another job as I needed to make money to live on and help out at
home. The pressure felt immense.
When you begin to doubt your abilities, you can quickly fall deep into a sea of
misery. You begin to experience all the lower vibrational states and this can be
damaging.
I knew I had to do something. So I listened to various personal development
audiobooks, picked up some more self-help books, streamed online videos and

read articles, quotes and blog posts. I even started speaking to entrepreneurial
friends I’d met via social media.
I started learning about other people’s hardships and how they overcame them,
even when the odds were against them. I started to feel inspired and my self-
belief grew. These stories were demonstrating that my failure wasn’t final.
Anyone who has accomplished anything great has faced big challenges or
failures. But they’re only 
final
if you quit.
Admittedly, my T-shirt business didn’t work out. But it sparked changes, ones
that benefited me hugely. When you’re inspired, you find drive and you feel
good about where you’re going and what’s possible in your life.
