Remind Me Again, Who is That Girl?
Dreams are wonderful. In 2010, at 22 years old, Miss Bonita Norris was the youngest British female to climb Everest, and she's a great motivational speaker. Last Friday, I heard her speak about how she followed her dreams to conquer the worlds highest mountain, and it struck me that everything she said could be applied to my own personal writing aspirations. And, I'll be brutally honest, after 4 hours sleep, and an early flight from Milan, - listening wasn't at the forefront of my mind, however I found myself sitting upright and smiling. Sometimes, in the middle of your circus-like existence, you receive a push from the outside, reminding you about your own dreams. These points struck a chord with me, long after Bonita stopped speaking.
1. Inspiration. You must have find inspiration everyday, go out and look for it. Be inspired!
2. Goals. No matter how small they are, you must have goals and follow them.
3. Mentors. Find a mentor who has achieved what you are striving towards. I think for writers, -this one really resonated with me, we should all have mentors to help us along the journey.
4. Work hard. It's very simple, you must work hard each day! No excuses, you have to get out there and work.
5. Never ever stop believing in yourself! This is key, you cannot give up your belief in your ability to accomplish what you want. You can do it. Never, ever give up your dream!

A/N: Hello everyone, hope you're all well. This week is all about catching up, - on my writing, blogging, editing and shuffling chapters in my WIP. Who knows, I may reduce my Vampire hours and catch up on sleep. Yes, I can hear muffled giggling down the back... Have a lovely week! Talei xox

Bish, true! And this was a great reminder for me.
Michael, thank you! You're too sweet. Actually, I heard her speak back in London late Friday. I was tired but after her opening words, I thought -hang on, this is worth listening to. ;-) So glad you are inspired too. Go get em!
Melissa, that is the most important one, I feel. Got to have that drive and keep on believing! Happy writing!
TL, thanks and you're welcome. I'm hoping for some zzzs. This Vampire needs her beauty sleep. ;-)
Jemi, thanks and you're welcome too!
Lyn, thanks, lovely. Good to be back home. And definitely its a mountain that we all can help each other on.
Jessie, aw - I'm chuffed! Thank you!
Peggy, awesome! *high fives*
Rosalind, extreme activities are 99% mental ( in my opinion), fitness is key but it really doesn't come down to your state of mind - and of course believing in yourself. And, yes - I do like a warm blanket on a snowy day. ;-)
All on the list are important & the hard work is the tough part!
