Is mentorship even worth it?

We have a lot of opportunity to learn through studying at Tafe or Uni with regard to subjects and career options but what about learning how to actually live your life in the most beneficial way. 

One of the best ways I found myself learning was by studying the lives of people I looked up to or those that were living the life i also wanted to live. 

Whoever sparks your interest in an area you want to improve in or learn about, figure out what they are doing in order to achieve those things because that information I think is pure gold. 

Speak to these people, ask for advise or guidance because those that have the solution love sharing but only to those who really need and want it. 

You might be looking to become 

○ healthier or fit

○ happier or more positive

○ wiser or grow in knowledge in a particular area

○more successful 

Whatever it is you are seeking, it is possible to find if you look to learn from someone who is already living in the way you want to live and doing the things you also want to do :)

Theres just something about being in nature that makes you feel so alive. 

I sometimes feel so unwell physically and mentally after working in an office all week and then head out into the fresh air for a couple of days and the whole thing changes. 

This was the main thing that made me question my future. 

If I was to continue trading my time for money in the office where would that lead me.

I’d probably end up sick, unhealthy, mentally unstable and simply not happy.

I used to think this was the only option but there is so much more opportunity out there.

Please do not settle in a lifestyle that makes you miserable. 

All it really takes is for you to value yourself enough to start searching for the thing you need and start creating a different life for yourself. 

God has blessed us with this amazing world and I want to spend as many days exploring it as possible.. what about you? 

Side note - this moody weather was soo beautiful ⛅🌧

Resilience 💛

…an essential part of any journey. 

Whether you are actively working towards improving your

fitness + health

business 

mindset

discipline 

relationships 

or simply creating any positive change in your life, 

YOU NEED RESILIENCE!

Bethany Hamilton, a pro surfer is just one example.

After working hard for years on end to reach the pro surfing leagues, she was attacked by a shark which left her without an arm. 

She was in such a position that no one could ever imagine that she would surf again. 

But she persisted despite a seemingly unstoppable challenge and regained her surfing career. 

So, what brought her to find a way to continue?

She said it herself 

“'My fear of losing surfing was greater than my fear of sharks' 

It was her why, surfing was everything to her and so she found a way. 

She chose not to give into her fears or let this significant setback control her future. 

Whatever journey you have decided to commit to, you need to be incredibly clear on why you started. 

Your reason to continue needs to be stronger than your reason to quit - Ross Edgley

What is the alternative?

Would you prefer to stay where you are now or reach and surpass the goals you have for yourself?

Another thing to pay attention to is what she said afterwards:

“I lost my arm but I wouldn't change it.”

With this statement she is pointing out that what she gained from experiencing this massive road block and surpassing it was even greater than having a part of her body back. 

This alone speak volumes. 

Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you
