What if you could Be Anyone, Do Anything, Have Anything? – Mind Talk

CANDOR

Do you remember when you were a child? What were your dreams? I dreamed of becoming a Pediatrician. I absolutely loved kids. I wanted to open a non profit organisation that would help kids and the elderly who couldn’t help themselves. I dreamed of exploring the world. My obsession with the natural world is even stronger today than it was in my younger years. The mountains, the rivers, the trees, the animals with all their vivid colours. Oh how they inspire me! I wanted to live in a big luxurious castle with servants to cater to my every whim and own the fanciest cars. I dreamed of the fairy tale wedding with the drop dead gorgeous white dress and the Ginormous Diamond ring my husband would get me! This was what I dreamed, from the time I was born to the age of 18. I couldn’t wait to grow up. I couldn’t wait to leave school. I couldn’t wait to become an ‘Adult,’ so that I could start living my dreams. Finally 18 years old, “Yes! I had arrived.” I got a job at a company through a family friend and I started to earn $$$. I worked and saved for a year+ and then got my own apartment. FREEDOM. How beautiful it was. I felt alive and ready to take on the world. But something happened! Wait! Was this really freedom? I worked for 50 out of 52 weeks in the year. The years rolled by 2008, 2009, 2010,2011, 2012, 2013. Whoa! Where did the time go? I was trapped and I didn’t even know it. I had fallen into the Rat Race like so many. The 40x40x40 plan. Work for 40 hours a week, for 40 years of my life to retire on 40% of what I couldn’t live on in the first place. But I suppose Ignorance is Bliss. I was okay with this Life. I had accepted this as my Destiny because this was all I knew.

Everything changed when I got fired in 2013. “Oh no, the end of my life!” “Curse you, you stupid company” I thought. Yes yes, I was quite the drama queen back then. I had no idea, this was the beginning of the Rebirth of my Younger Self ! Working in the system for 5 years made me completely forget about my dreams and aspirations as a child. Instead I was focused on paying bills and entertaining myself as much as possible on the weekends.
After a few months of moping and binge watching every series possible, something happened. Some would see it as a miracle but for me it was an Opportunity. One that was available to everyone else in the world but because I was in a State of Transition in my Life, I saw and grabbed it immediately. Through this opportunity, I was blessed to meet a very successful individual in various aspects of his life. His rags to riches story sent chills down my spine. I thought to myself, 5 years ago this individual was in a worst place than I am now and today he’s a US millionaire. If he can do it, I can do it! There were many thought provoking things he said that day, but the one that stood out the most was the 3 influences in our lives.

The books we read, the things we listen to and the people we associate with. He said you earn the average of the top 5 people you associate with the most. WOW. Where was this information all my life? He has awakened something in me. I made it my duty to have a conversation with this individual even if it was for one minute, I had to have it! Our conversation was brief but his words will remain in my heart forever. They say a Winner can always Spot another Winner. Even though he did know know me, he said “Nicole, you are a Winner and a Champion.” I couldn’t believe my ears. Here I am, a lost soul drifting through life without a clue of where I’m going and here comes this successful Entrepreneur calling me a Winner and a Champion. He believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. His words inspired me to dream again and has set me on a entire new path. Today I believe in myself. I believe that I could Be Anyone, Do Anything and Everything and have Any and Everything I desire. Because of his words, I am able to dream again but more importantly I am in pursuit of achieving my dreams. My dreams are VERY different today but I wake up now knowing It’s All Possible and I have the Power to Make them come True. My purpose of writing this post is to pass on the Wisdom of the Words that have positively impacted my life. To Everyone out there, You are all Winners. You are all Champions in your Own Way. It’s up to you to figure out what you will be a Champion of. Everything is Possible for Him Who Believes. First you must Believe !!! Then you must Change. Change can be Hard. Very Hard. But if you want Change, You MUST Change. You don’t have to Change Everything, but you do have to start. What are you reading? What are you listening to? Who are you Associating With? MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I AM CHEERING FOR YOU.

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
