 Become an overcomer  We all face a lot in life and overcome it. When we are faced with challenges and goals we must find a way through them to overcome them. This journey is a personal growth process So here’s the plan!  1.   FULFILL YOUR ESSENTIAL NEEDS What does it mean to find  fulfillment ?  It all goes back to our   Six Human Needs :  certainty,  significance,  variety,  love/connection,  growth and contribution.

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...

Wisdom doesn’t necess...

It’s common to move locally several times in one’s life, and for some,  moving long distance  to a new town, city, or even province more than once in their lifetime is also quite common. But, unfortunately, knowing that we’ll all have to move at some point doesn’t make the process and transition any easier or less stressful.

But, understanding why you’re feeling stressed and learning how to cope with the stress of moving can help. Why is moving stressful?
