Push Ourselves
Greatness and excellence; two qualities that every single person on this planet possesses, yet only a small percentage of people ever showcase it. Let's throw in another word here, and one in which greatness and excellence are revealed, and that is "potential". Potential is defined as having "latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness." If we then summarise all this information above, basically, greatness, excellence, and success are all achieved when one first identifies their abilities, skills, and talents, and then continues to grow and develop them. So why is it that only a small percentage of people in the world showcase greatness and excellence, and the potential within them? Sadly, the answer comes back to our three headed monster once again, being fear, doubt, and laziness. As a whole, humans are comfort addicts. We base our life around our means of survival, which is completely understandable, but we then establish ourselves a routine and a way of living in which we find safety, refuge, and of course, comfort. As far as protecting ourselves and our loved ones from the risks of physical harm and the threat of death, seeking safety, refuge, and comfort makes complete sense. The problem is, we don't just use this theory to save our lives, we also use it when it comes to our livelihood, and that's where the problem starts, and when it comes to the reason of why so many people fail to achieve greatness, excellence, and success in life. Our livelihood is of course about securing the necessities in life for ourselves, such as food, shelter, clean water, clothing, and money. Without these necessities, we would find ourselves starved, dehydrated, exposed to the elements, on the streets, in poverty, and even deceased. Therefore, we do whatever we need to do to ensure our livelihood is in order. So what do we do? We establish ourselves into a routine of adequate survival, to completely minimise any risk of being exposed to a lack of necessities. In doing so, this routine then becomes our comfort zone. It's the method we place our faith in for our means of survival, we become accustomed to it, and it provides us that security and peace of mind. In clearer terms, basically it all comes down to having a job, as a first and foremost priority, which pays us an income in exchange for our time and effort, so we can have the food, water, shelter, and clothing we need in order to live a decent life. The thing is, for most people, it doesn't matter what job you have, even if you despise it, even if it makes you unhappy, even if it leads you to depression, even if the hours are ridiculous, or even if it pays you diddly squat. Getting that income is everything. How is that really living though? Busting your arse off for 45 years of your life, at a job that you hate, making barely enough money to meet bill payments and put food on the table. That's not living, that's merely existing! That's what most people do though, because they follow what most of society does, because they feel compelled to, and that's exactly why most people don't achieve greatness, excellence, and success in life.

"Its just natural to caring about about community and helping them grow."
In 2016, during Uganda's midst of a refugee crisis, hope was born instead of fear. This hope grew and grew until it became an act of good faith. It became something whole and complete, yet still a work in progress.

Success Can Only Happen After You Stop Obsessing Over It
When a bottleneck caused multiple deaths on Mt Everest in 1996, social psychologist Christopher Kayes observed that many climbers suffered from “summit fever,” an obsession to reach the top that blinded them from making life-saving decisions.

THERE IS NO MONOPOLY ON DREAMS
I am reading “All grown up” by Jami Attenberg and I got to a chapter in which a very successful, beautiful, wise and independent artist is presented through main character’s eyes. I will quote everything down below as I believe you have experienced as well the feelings portrayed. It is that feeling that someone gives you that they embody everything you wish to be. It is the human being you dream to be, it is that creativity you aspire to show to the world and that will create your future, your freedom, your happiness.

Use the Law of Attraction to Manifest Money
The first thing people usually ask when interested in the Law of Attraction is how to manifest money. A thing to remember is that you can’t wish for a million dollars or just say “I want to be rich”. In other words, you can’t throw a wish for money out in the universe and expect a return. It’s not impossible but highly unlikely. Before you try manifesting money think about and decide why you want the money or want to be rich. Once you have the why decide how much. It is easier to manifest a specific amount than it is to manifest being rich. This is because of your beliefs and what you will let yourself believe in. If you can really believe that you will be very rich then this can happen but it is just easier to for people to start with a specific sum.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE THE LEAP?
Vision, time, support, confidence, courage, desire, dreams, opportunities, new horizons, changes, power, health. Words that make up the personality who can choose a path and stick to it. No wonder around, distracted by wolves, like the Little Red Riding Hood. Stick to your plans no matter the obstacles. Resilience. Resistance. Trust.

Why We Need to Self Advocate
I am so happy and grateful that I was invited to attend a coaching session with Girl Geek Sydney; yet entry into this special event was not automatic. Those of us ladies in STEM (I work in UX Design, so that qualifies me) we're asked to write down in 25 words or less, what would we do if we were unstoppable in our tech careers. From this intimate workshop; the need to self advocate was ingrained into my psyche, where more information on this inspiring movement for women in STEM can be found by clicking on this LinkedIn post.
