5..4..3..2..1.. Take action on something, anything that will bring you closer to your goal.

Don't do it in a little while, not in a few minutes, but now, right now. It's a simple concept really. Writing this blog, (as Jersey Shore plays in the background and I try not to get distracted) was my version of taking action. Today I start a new a chapter, and as crazy as it sounds something as simple as a little 5 second countdown could be life changing!

I’ve been working towards creating better daily habits for myself by reading or watching motivational speakers, influencers, etc... Recently I started following motivational speaker and creator of the “5 Second Rule” audiobook/ concept Mel Robbins! Today I made it to her YouTube as apart of my “daily inspiration!” I watched two videos, one on parenting yourself as an adult and another about self doubt and implementing the "5 Second Rule" into your life.

I took something extremely powerful away from each video. One is that you will always have to push yourself to get the work done, it will never be easy but it will always be worth it. And two, a small mental switch can flip around your life! Over the years I have dealt with a lot of self doubt, and it has grown more as I get older. However, I will never stop chasing my dreams because I believe in them so deeply. I will never stop because of that chilling feeling of excitement I get when I think about pursuing them at my highest potential. It’s a feeling so natural and so right it cannot be ignored, therefore I will not stop.

Now it is not only for me, but for that little man in the photos as well, my 4 month old son Xavier. He's a light in my world when things are dark, and truly my biggest inspiration in never giving up. I'll admit that over time, I have neglected my goals and passions. I’ve gotten distracted and made excuses in life, but what good will come with living in the past?

Countdown from 5, and on 1 take action. Don’t hesitate, don’t think twice, you know what it is that needs to be done.

I wanted to write about taking action because I want to be more accountable. I want to start taking more action because acting on your passions consistently, is bound to lead to your successes. I hope to document more of my journey actively being a fashion designer, business owner, and creative (not just calling myself one). I feel like it is important to tell my story, not only because I feel it puts pressure on myself to do more, but also because that is an experience that is raw, relatable and, real for so many of us.

Besides it is the journey and the struggle that make each of our accomplishments all the more worthwhile!

5..4..3..2..1... GO. There is no better time than now.
