30 Days Til 30: Opening Up Yourself to Opportunities

First I have to show you my outfit.  Don't you love it?  I love this faux leather brown jacket, the copper earrings my fiery cheetah print top.  This is the look I told you about yesterday.  Safari is just one of the fun looks that are in season for fall.  I have been stripped of all insecurities and I am feeling beautiful in this skin.  I was thanking Natasha Bedingfield and Jessica Simpson for creating some awesome girl power theme songs.

But moving on 30 days til 30 is my adventure and my 30 days of telling you about what I have learned before I turn 30 and what I have learned after I turn 30.  I have spent many years worried about what people think about me.  I mean the fact is that it is important if you are an Entrepreneur whose name is her brand and who is in the media at all times.  But how much does it really matter. I want to be liked, I hope you like me and it means a lot to me.

But realistically that fear of not being liked is something that comes with immaturity.  I had to outgrow that stage. I had to take a look at myself and see if who I am was OK.  I have to tell you I think I am OK.  I try to live life with the motto of doing unto others as I would want done unto me.  I have heard that 10% of the people you meet are not going to like you.  But think about the other 90% that do.  Shouldn't the people's opinion that matter most to you mean the most to you.

I learned that when I cared about what people thought I missed opportunities.  I was not open to what the God and the Universe had in store for me.  I was in a negative state of mind that killed my business savvy chica mojo.  What I did such as creating a lifestyle company that focused on women and empowering them to look and feel great was failing them and myself because I took the bad things that people said and never took in the good that had to be heard.

I want you ladies out there to surround yourself with nothing but positiveness.  Seek out those who want to uplift you and who you want to do the same for.  I think that if you do this and practice at it you will mature, become wiser and master the art of never missing an opportunity because you will be forever open to it.  What I have learned as I am about to turn 30 is I do matter and I have a voice.  With my voice and with my strength I have had the courage not to care what people think and I have opened myself up to amazing opportunities, case in point being able to tell you that you are wonderful and you deserve great opportunities.
