Have you ever been in a tough situation and thought … I’m just not sure I can do this anymore?!?!

You feel so weak and depleted and you wonder where your energy and enthusiasm went. It feels easier if you just stopped and settled for the life you have right now! You’re tired and feel lost and just need a break from all this TRYING! You know you should pick yourself up but you just need to STOP!

I have definitely been there … and still go through ups and downs like any other normal person.

  • This past year I have had to readjust to being a single Mum with a baby and a toddler supporting the kids on my own.
  • Plus my daughter went to hospital due to a life threatening medical condition.
  • On top of that I’m building my business online, which doesn’t operate properly if I drop the ball and I’m not taking consistent action …

But all through this, no matter how much I thought I couldn’t cope … I just knew I had to keep going … But where do you find the strength … ???

Well, I came across a LIST …This is one man’s life list. But instead of it being a sad reminder of how crappy life can be, it’s actually inspiring and a testament to how humans can learn, grow, and win despite the losses and defeats.


1831 … Failed in Business
1832 …Defeated for Legislature
1833 … Failed in Business again
1834 … Elected to Legislature
1835 … Sweetheart Died
1836 … Nervous Breakdown
1838 … Defeated for Speaker
1843 … Defeated for Land Officer
1843 … Defeated for Congress
1846 … Elected to Congress
1848 … Defeated for Re-Election
1855 … Defeated for Senate
1856 … Defeated for Vice President
1858 … Defeated for Senate
1860 … Elected US President


Who am I talking about? …

Abraham Lincoln

WOW! Look at that list again! I’m not sure I could have done that, but the more I read it, the more the fire in my heart burns brighter and makes me want to keep focused on my passions, not to deviate and just become part of someone else’s dreams – But CREATE MY OWN!

Think about when you have taken your life seriously or when you have been most passionate, it’s probably after you’ve been under enormous pressure in your life. Pressure is what creates DIAMONDS. YOU ARE A DIAMOND IN THE MAKING!

So, for the answer to the question:

“How Many Times Can You Pick Yourself Up?”

“As Many Times As It Takes To Reach My Dreams!”
