Foundationally, your beliefs will be the bottom line for everything you do. Others cannot determine your beliefs for you because, ultimately, this is your life and only you can live it. Your beliefs may grow and evolve as you learn and experience life, but your beliefs and ability to believe will greatly impact your life path.

The cornerstone of building your foundation is knowing how much you are worth. If you do not begin with accepting your own value, then your foundation will be reliant on circumstances and others to dictate your value. Your value is intrinsic. 

Emotions can be one of your biggest allies and at the same time, one of your biggest enemies. You must allow yourself to experience your emotions as they come your way. It is key to recognize the power your emotions have to control your vision and actions, but also recognize the power you have over them.

You cannot build to where you want to go without knowing where it is you are trying to get to. Know where it is that you desire to be. Keeping a clear vision means that you are keeping a greater perspective on things as they come your way. When you know where you want to go, obstacles may only slow you down instead of derail you.

There are three areas of your life that you have the ability to control: Response, Attitude and Effort. Roadblocks in life are inevitable but knowing what is and what isn’t in your control help you to navigate solutions and propel you forward to achieving your goals.
