Motivational...Wednesday?

Happy Wednesday ya'll!
Today we are having a guest post, someone near and dear to my heart--my dad!
My dad has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders. He's always supported me
in my own business endeavors and whatever else I decided to do. My dad is a business person himself. He started his business when I was a youngster and has been going full force ever since with many different business adventures through-out my life. One of his new adventures is motivational speaking and I thought it would be great if he wrote out some thoughts for my fabulous readers! So without further-a-do here is my dad.


Business has always been a passion of mine. I love the idea of working for my own dreams and not someone else's and making money while you sleep. I have a love of traveling and wanted my girls to have experiences that I was not able to have growing up and that is when I decided I wanted to own my own business, so I took the steps necessary and haven't stopped since.

 HAVE A PASSION
I always tell my girls to have a passion for whatever they do. You've got to eat, sleep, and breathe whatever you are passionate about, whether it's becoming a teacher, professional baseball player, or owning your own business. Find what you're good at and then strive to be 100x better--you can do it! Even if you feel as though  you are too old, I say "THE HECK YOU ARE!" get out there and build your dreams. "It's never too late to become what you might have been, but you have to start." I am constantly telling people who come to me for advice that quote, I truly believe in it.

START RIGHT NOW
Now don't go and quit your job but seriously start right now and think about where you see yourself in 5, 10 years and think about if you are really happy with that thought. If you are congratulations! If you aren't start changing RIGHT NOW. You have the power to make your dreams a reality. Yes, it's a scary thought but no-one ever became successful without having a little bit of fear and a whole lot of excitement to get them going! 

DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND THOUGHTS
Yep, you're going to have people and thoughts tell you that you can't do whatever it is you're wanting to do. Guess what those people are going to become jealous when you start succeeding and it will get even harder! But DO NOT believe a word that they say and do not believe your negative thoughts. Remember who you are doing this for, remember all the reasons of WHY you wanted to do this in the first place. Eventually those people and those thoughts will subside.

I believe anyone can accomplish their dreams. As the quote says "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" Can you tell I'm a baseball lover? Haha! Have the faith and believe that you can do things and you WILL be able to do them. 


Be sure to check out my dad's website johnnybryan.com and follow him on twitter (@realjohnnybryan). You'll be able to find more tips from him on how to become successful!
Until next time!

XOXO,
Leslie Ann

Spring Break 2016

This year I was FINALLY able to go on a spring break trip with my family, which was much needed. You see usually my school schedule and work schedule never coincide with when my family is taking their annual trip to the lovely KW but this year it did! I was so excited to be able to go this trip! This year (and every other year) we traveled to Key West, Florida and OMG it was amazing! Even though it was a long(er) trip it was well worth it! There is so much to do there, even if the place itself is only 3 miles wide. My favorite thing to do is the Conch Train ride, its a little train/trolley ride that takes you around KW and tells you historical facts about the place, (maybe I love it a little too much because I am a history guru). But in all seriousness it is nice to actually get away from the demands of life and enjoy time with family and it doesn't hurt that it was in such a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean. On our way to Key West and on our way back home, we stopped at...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...

Top [Ten] favorite quotes!

Today I am going to talk about my top 10 favorite quotes and why I love them. I think that inspirational quotes are my favorite type of quotes just because as I have gotten older I've learned to rely on them and they help me get through some of the dark times in my life. 1. "Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things work out"  -Gordon B. Hinckley I love this quote because I honestly believe in it. I grew up listening to this man talk in conferences and I absolutely love reading his talks. It's so amazing that when I read or listen to his talks how much I feel as though he is talking specifically to me. 2. "You have not failed until you quit trying" -Gordon B. Hinckley See, I told you I love this man. I absolutely love this quote because it is true, I believe that if you keep on trying at something you have won in some regards. 3.  "If you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that is enough" -David A....
