Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”
– Bill Bradley
I missed my goal of hitting my milestone 500 YouTube subscribers yesterday, but I feel happy anyway. 🥰 In less than nine months, I grew my channel by 453 subscribers, and in the past ninety days, my channel grew from 312 to 480 subscribers. It may not sound like much, but five hundred subscribers earns my Community page on which I can share out videos from other creators’ channels. It’s also halfway to my goal of 1,ooo subscribers, which is one of the qualifications for monetizing a channel.
I feel grateful for the steady growth because my channel has remained very manageable for replying to comments and supporting other channels. Not only do I have subscribers who are more likely to stick with me but also I follow back other channels whose content provides something that helps me in some way – motivation, inspiration, collaboration… anything that raises the vibration! I feel grateful for all of the feedback that affirms I am accomplishing what I set out to do – BE THE LIGHT. LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!
Here we are at the start of a new year, and people tend to begin with resolutions for new habits. I can’t remember the last time I made New Year’s resolutions. Somewhere along the way I stopped using 1 January as the starting point because it was just too easy to set myself up for failure. I realized I was making New Year’s resolutions for the sake of making them, without any real planning and, in some cases, without any true commitment to keeping them!
What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.”

No matter what date you decide is the start of whatever you wish to change, you can set yourself up for success by following the advice (and tips for manifesting) that you’ve mostly likely heard here or there:
- Set goals that are aligned with who you are, your mission, and your purpose.
- Write your goals and plans. Create a vision board.
- Be specific and capture the necessary details of your goals and plans. “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
- Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.
- Believe in yourself and that you deserve to attain your goals.
- Express gratitude for everything – the goals you met, the lessons learned, the unmet goals that steered you to your true path. The grateful heart receives abundantly.
- Setbacks or missed goals are opportunities for learning, improving, and changing. Go with the flow, and be okay with changing course, especially if you discover that your original goal is not aligned with who you are.
- Failing to meet a goal is only the end if you allow it to be.
- Keep going. Ambition and persistence will pay off.
Luceat Lux Vestra.
