Selina Davis: 0:00

Hey it's your gir Selina Davis coming to you wi h a new episode for the new ear and this month, I actually want to start a theme in the mo th when we have discussions. nd this month I want to rea ly talk about being bold. If 202 didn't show us anything outside of life is too short, it de initely showed me that I n eded to become more bold, and j st push forward in the thing tha I know that is in me to do, whether they are successful or whether they fail, that wa not my concern. I was pushing forward in all my uncomfortabil ty. And just really just d ing the things that I know that s in my heart. So I really wa t us to talk about what is det rmining your tomorrow. So when y u think about where you are to ay, and potentially where you wa t to be in the future be by th end of the year, be it in thre years, five years or even 1 years, what is going to determ ne that for you what are the factors that you need to conside or put in place in order or your dreams to, you know, come to pass or come to fruitio? And I think what we tend to do is hold ourselves back on thi gs that are are stopping us fro moving forward, although we w ll have those aims. We're no really addressing the things hat are going to really determ ne what tomorrow looks lik for us today. So I just reall wanted to talk about some thing that I know has helped me. An number one, I think what's really, really important is that we focus on where we're t right now, I think being hone t about your situation, bein honest about where your mind s being honest about your, y u know, thought patterns, or j st your current situation, whet er it's financial, whether it's in your career, business, relati nships, you with your children, hatever that looks like for you oday, I think it's really import nt that you just take stock of i, as it is bare naked, you kn w, just seeing it for what it i today. Because what I've rea ized is that we tend to sugar oat our lives, or we tend to h ve this perception about life, a d never really look outside f those perceptions and wonder w y thing doesn't change. So I think number one is ve y, very important that we make mental checklist about where life is today. I think what nu ber two for me would be is tak ng some action. So these action do not need to be huge action, ut they do need to make sense. nd they need to count towards what is potentially going to hel you in or tomorrow. So if you issues are dealing with tasks e ery day and the amount of thi gs that you need to do in your l fe, how about you just scrap pot ntially this long list of two d es that we have and just focus o one or two things that you k ow that you can achieve in t at day, that helps to make an e fective change for tomorrow. So that could be reading some hing 10 pages of a book that w ll help to change the way that y ur mind thinks or is dedicat ng some time with your childr n every single day because tha's what you feel your life is acking. Or in your career, wheth r it is establishing new skil s, or a lot of free resources o t there that you can, you know, do on a daily basis, there's lot of different challenges and you know, a whole host of d fferent things that you ca use to educate yourself to bet er your skills in your career, if it's your relationship, is there a conversation that you need to have? Or is there a di cussion with maybe a therapist hat you need to go to to, to ha e those discussions that will elp you make those effective cha ges for tomorrow. So I think that is very much a big area. For me, it's those small st ps that really make a big, a big leap in change for my personal l fe. And number three, don't be hard on yourself, you know, s op, you know, looking at your ife and being so hard on where you may be right now and thinki g about I wish I was further t an this in life. If I had done t is life would be different. nd if I made the decisions, I ouldn't be where I am today. I a a true believer. And it may be cliche that you know, we are here we are for the reasons that we need to be here. And I beli ve that everything that we hav passed through in our lives has allowed us to be prepared for moment as now. And I think tha moment right now is really lo king at how we can change in o r lives and not be stagnant and ot hold ourselves back an not be ashamed or afraid or s ared or you know, just conside ing all the different hur les and obstacles that will stop us from determining a much greater future for ourselves. So I think we just need to stop be ng hard on ourselves. I think we need to start looking at oursel es in a much different way. You now, we don't gain success if e think of ourselves as being eak. So we don't gain succe s if we think of ourselves bei g weak. You know, when you loo at the Bible and you look at D vid and Goliath, if he l oked at Goliath, as if Goliath as this huge giant, of cours, David wouldn't be able to def at him. But David didn't look at himself in such a way that he wa weaker than Goliath, he u ed this opportunity to p ove the opposite. And I think th t's the same for our lives. We need to go up against ourselves when we keep holding ourselves back in our weaknesses and our thought patterns in the way that we think of the seed of l fe. And we need to just move o rselves forward and be bol and be courageous and, you now, go against what is uncomf rtable, and you know, you can't be in a comfortable zone an expect change to happen is not oing to happen. So I really want to encourage you to just ta e stock in what is going to ma e for a better tomorrow. And what is going to determine that or you. You need to look at his for yourself, you need to look at this through your own lenses, not through anyone else s apart from your own. And I e courage you to take some steps i taking small actions do t e small things that will help t wards a bigger goal. Stop writi g lists of an achievable things because you're only going to di appoint yourself and just o small things that will help towards the bigger goal. So I h pe that this has helped you. I h pe that these are practical st ps that can help you determin a much better tomorrow for your elf and enjoy life and be he best version of yourself. G d bless you speak to you soon. And see you on the next
