Winning πŸ†

There is only 1 way to win > fairly and on your own merit. Each and every time. Have integrity!

From my own experience and upbringing, I will say do not hold back like I did to fit in or when people took from me without my permission. The only way to handle a bully is to stand up to them. Bullies come in all shapes. You cannot clean someone up of their own negativity β€” that is their job and being a doormat does not mean you escape it. You cannot make someone good. That person has to come to you good!

Holding yourself back just means you did not use your own abilities nor did you enjoy the journey, discoveries and thrills of your own successes.

Go all the way! Do not hold back. See what you are made of.

And lastly, when you lose, do it gracefully. Enjoy the game.

True freedom lies in going all the way and seeing what you are made of and knowing the only person you are competing with, is yourself. The goal is to be a better version of yourself and to grow! : D

Being a Woman...

My mom β€οΈπŸ’‹πŸ˜Š real beauty. πŸ’«β€οΈ I am lucky to have great parents and been protected a lot. I come from a long line of amazing women! So loving, so smart, so bighearted, so inspiring & beautiful inside and out. πŸ˜Šβ€οΈ ha ha, I have a lot to live up to! πŸ’‹πŸ’‹β€οΈ 

...This Women’s March & all the sentiments arising, were long overdue. I know it can feel hard at times, but I am confident that things are only getting better! β€οΈβ€οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ» 

I know when I first got offered a modeling contract at 15, I turned it down. Mostly because I wanted to go to college, but I was aware of the unhealthy environment. It crops up unexpectedly at random times too. When I made a film as a director, it was obvious too.

I know a lot of women have experienced tough things! Makes my heart sad. I can’t speak to all they have endured. 
But I do believe that things are getting better than ever. 
If you look at recorded history and where we are now, it is better!

Today however I think anything is possible! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Šβ€οΈ you can do and be it all! Why not? I realize when I talk to people, how much role models matter. Just seeing someone do something makes you want to try. It is right there in front of you! 

Perhaps that is the true sign of freedom β€” to be yourself, when you reach high and know the only thing that can hold you back, is you. So the heaviness dissolves, and instead, there is the energy of excitement, knowing you can do and be more! I wish that for everyone. β€οΈ

I don’t believe in limits. I think amazing things are going to happen now, and I am happy to be part of it and contribute! β€οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ’« #mom #female #women#strength #selfexpression #potential #growing#confidence #power #growth #nolimits
