An Ode to Curiosity
What separates the dreamers from the strivers? There are a number of characteristics and personal qualities that distinguish someone who dreams of doing big things and one who actually strives to accomplish these big things. Among these characteristics include commitment, consistency, hard work, patience, perseverance and they are all important for different reasons, but the most important characteristics that stands out to me is having curiosity and being willing to learn new things because of that curiosity. When you don’t have any curiosity or willingness to learn how things work and why, you can dream about making an impact all you want, but if you aren’t willing to spend time learning about what you’re interested in and what you can improve upon whether physically or mentally, then your goals will likely not be accomplished.

Be Your Own Lighthouse
When we wake up wishing, hoping and wanting we stay stuck wishing, hoping and wanting. You see if you’re wishing you’re always going to wish. If you’re hoping you’re always going to hope. If you’re wanting you’re always going to want. It is time to be the light of your house.

Am I Doing Enough?
Am I doing enough? Do you remember when you were a child filled with aspirations and goals, there were so many things you wanted to be, a doctor possibly, or maybe an astronaut or heck! maybe even a princess. Back then these goals or dreams did not cause immense stress but why has that changed? As an 18 year old university student with career this and career that constantly (for lack of a better word) being shoved in my face I continuously ask myself the question, "I am doing enough?"

Expectations vs. Reality
An important part of maturing and becoming a fully functional adult is to keep your expectations in check and to manage them as to not conflict with what the reality of the situation is. Keeping your expectations in check is difficult to do but it is necessary in order to not let an oversized ego, or arrogance, or selfishness keep you from becoming the person you should be. One has to always be prepared for reality to not line up with our initial expectations. You can never really be fully certain of how things in life are going to shape up to be. A true sign of maturity is wishing for the best but understanding that you could be in for disappointment and setbacks even when you think that everything can turn out fine.

The Question Is the Key
Years ago I was asked to be the keynote speaker at a conference called Women of Achievement. I love this type of event and was honored that I was asked. But as the date drew closer, I really started to worry that they had chosen me because of some misperception.
