innovation is the key

Have you ever felt that you will succeed at that goal? Or that you know in your heart, you will be able to achieve it? Yet, you're not there? Often times, we envision certain goals and achievements that we believe are so attainable, but we have yet done anything to get there, as if you are stuck in a rut.  How do you get out of a rut? Look at other people who are doing amazing stuff, eat plenty of fruits, and start doing what makes you excited! Do something different and be AMAZING AT IT! There have been countless ingenious and creative photoshoots/layouts for fashion, but I've recently stumbled upon this one from Forever21.

Not to mention the mini heel to help me become 5'3 =) This is the first "real" pair of white "heels" (slip ons) that I have had = $4.50  I had eyed this pai

(It is a crime, or should be a crime that some athletes are so heavenly built, not to mention the handsome faces, and are so extremely gifted in sports!) As I have stated, I am not familiar with the world of sports, but it makes you think of the vast capabilities and potentials that individuals can have. We are familiar with the saying  everyone has a unique gift, a special talent, but some stand out more than others and dedicate their entire lives to them. We need to find what we love and put in the endless hours, hard work, patience, etc...to become amazingly good at it.   I wonder if all these world class athletes were told as children they would be someone great one day?
