This is something for YOU to customize! Whatever you put down needs to resonate with you. Honestly, I think these pillars, commandments, to-dos are excellent as is. These points apply to more than just a healthy entrepreneur mindset, these are ten steps to a happy life rich in authenticity.
1. STAY AUTHENTICALLY YOU
-Key words: AUTHENTIC & YOU.
-Show up as you.
-Don’t be a facsimile of yourself.
-Your vibe attracts your tribe! Make sure you bring the right people to you in the right time by always showing up as YOUR SELF.
2. Stand Up for What You Stand For
-If you alter yourself for fear of being ‘too much’, or because you’re afraid of being weird you won’t find your true support system.
*It’s okay to not be for everyone but you must be yourself.
3. Be Fully in the Moment
-One thing at a time, stop pretending you’re multitasking vs ticking things off of a list.
-Don’t shove in work to justify your relaxation. If you want to watch a show, do it! Checking your email is not the penance you pay to feel entitled to relaxation or frivolous entertainment.
4. Be Your Best Resource
-Ask for help! Take the risk! Make the time for you to invest in you!
-Your life, you own it!
5. ABV: Always Be Visualizing!!!
-It’s already hard enough to see your future with your eyes wide open!
-Close your eyes and visualize!
-If you can visualize your future, you’re one step closer to that version of yourself.
-What would your future self tell you writing ten years from now?
-What do you want to have? Who do you want to be?
6. Excuses Make You CLUNKY!
-The version of you making excuses of why you can’t is making up baggage and resistance to bog you down!
-When you start investing in yourself you align yourself to your purpose.
-Erykah Badu’s Bag Lady. Go play the song. Think of every no and can’t as a piece of baggage holding you back; “and you can’t hurry up, ‘cause you got too much stuff…”
-Go do the DAMN THING! It’s okay to take up space in this world. Stop playing yourself small.
7. Don’t be afraid of FAILURE.
-It’s not something to be ashamed of, it’s a step to a success.
-Success is arguably a collection of smaller wins and losses that make up a pursued goal. Even the best athletes need practice, no one is perfect from inception.
-Aspire to be better than you are, work outside your comfort zone and watch your skills grow with your expanding territory.
8. STOP IT.
-That thing you do, STOP IT!
9. BE KIND.
-Don’t be that jerk who pops the baby’s balloon. If you’re not feeling it, keep it moving. We don’t need your unsolicited remarks.
-Don’t make someone feel lesser. It will never make you more.
-See number 2. Standing up for yourself and your beliefs does not equate to beating someone down. If your beliefs are rooted in the oppression of others: SEEK HELP.
10. YOU ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE.
-Love those people who show up for you, who understand, who appreciate you… who get you!
-No one else really matters. You’ll never impress someone that can’t appreciate you.
-Keep shining your light, not just for you, but for those like you needing a beacon of self-acceptance and appreciation. You have no idea who you influence to be themselves when you shine in your own unapologetic authenticity.
-See numbers 1 and 2! STAY AUTHENTICALLY YOU & STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU STAND FOR.
