This simple word will work wonders in your life.

When it comes to life, hunny, we've got options. Just as in every movie/show you have ever watched or book you have ever read, and the main character goes through trials and tribulations. Trying to navigate their way through life, making choices, that ultimately become the stories we long and dream of - craving just one more moment, one more episode, one more page. 

What I am trying to get across, is that when it comes to our own lives, we get to decide what we want our stories to be. We get to decide how our stories will unfold. Unless of coarse, we never learn how to say the simple phrase, "No." You need to learn how to say, "No" to your family, your friends, your boss, your lover, your whatever it may be, but most importantly, YOURSELF.

What do you want?

In most situations, when you learn to say no, you're opening yourself up to more possibilities. When you say no to one situation, whether it be a relationship, a job, a new shirt that you "had to have" or even going out on a Saturday night, you open yourself to a world of possibilities. So now you can say, "Yes!" to whatever it is that YOU want from life - because it is so easy to say yes and follow where life takes you, but now its your choice to follow your dreams.

That is the hardest part about it, in my opinion at least. Trying to figure out exactly what it is that you want from life. Do you want to be successful and have a large family? Do you want to travel the world? Do you want to build long lasting relationships? Do you want a six pack and a healthy lifestyle? You have to decide what YOU want from this life and what that path would look/feel like to you.

Once you have what you want figured out, it's all about aligning the decisions that you continually make, to the life you want to live. You learn to differentiate the choices that will lead you closer to that lifestyle, from the ones that lead you further away. 

So when you make decisions, ask yourself, "Does this align with the life I want?" or "Will this bring me closer to the destination I want to reach?" if not, say "No." So that you can say, "YES!" to whatever it is that will light your world on fire. 

A few questions to ask yourself:

·What do I want to experience? 
·What are some of my wildest dreams?
·What could I do, right now, to obtain or come closer to my dream?

Then it is a matter of acting, whether it is researching apartments in a new city, looking for a better paying job to start a savings, asking a friend who lives where you want to live about the location, window shopping for the next purchase, cutting that toxic relationship, or even making space for more clothes by purging some of your outdated pieces. Do something that gets you excited about the dream you have dreamt. 

Define what it is you want and what it looks like to YOU, not anyone else. If you want to be successful, ask yourself what it is that looks like to you, because it is indeed relative. To me being successful is being able to do the things I enjoy with the people I enjoy, to be surrounded by fellow creatives and people that inspire me to be my best me. That probably isn't your average definition of success but it is mine. So figure out what you want, and what steps that you can take to achieve them. Then act.

Remember to have faith and enjoy the journey along the way while you are working towards your goals, I've found things flow when you're having fun. Keep your destination in mind and enjoy the ride while you're creating the life of your dreams.
