So many people (myself included) complicate their life’s so much. We try to do too much and then we still aren’t happy with the outcomes. Sometimes we need to work hard, but most importantly we need to be smart! Spending your day planned out to a T can put a hindrance on your ability to build upon yourself. I am not just talking about your training, but your entire life. I have always been the person with a plan, my friends always made fun of me; I had every moment of my week, month ect planned out.  I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to change that aspect of my life and become more spontaneous.  Spontaneity builds character and regardless of where we are at in our lives we need to ALWAYS be working at making ourselves better. When we train for shows we are training to be our best and beat ourselves, yeah it is great to win, but if that is all you focus on, you WILL at some point be let down. Go after your goals for none other than yourself! You will never be let down, because with hard work, dedication and persistence you can and will ALWAYS be your best!

By tapping into the simpler things in life it will always place your dreams at arms reach instead of out of sight!  I am not saying, “Don’t dream big,” but keep your goals simple and realistic. Don’t ever let YOU settle for YOUR second best! If you need help, don’t be afraid to ask either, your loved ones will always be there to help you. I am learning this right now, very deeply, in my life.  Talk about your feelings and thoughts, don’t bury them inside, or they will deter you from learning about yourself and your true character.  It can be hard to step up to the plate and talk about what isn’t perfect in your life, but you will feel like a new person! We can become so blinded by going through our daily routines, but sometimes you need to take an immense step back to see the big picture. I know the last 3 weeks of my life I have found a new me, I am going with it and keeping it simple!
