6 Principles for Success

Thanks to those of you who sent me tweets and messages during and after my apperance on CNN en español. On December 22 I will be back on the set to discuss more Latina mom issues.

In Spanglishbeauty I’ve listed the beauty products I used that day, and I’m grateful to all the brands that sent me their best treatments and makeup to help me look and feel radiant.

Following previous posts in which I state that perseverance breeds success as you understand it, I want to share a few tips that help me stay on track.    

• Even when you don’t see results, keep on taking steps towards your goal.
• If you think: “but nothing is happening”, relax! You don’t know what’s going on. You may have sent out a résumé months ago and they may be considering it today.
• Everything worthwhile takes time. Even pregnancy is 9 months long. If it´s shorter, that´s not a good thing.
• The more difficult life’s challenges, the better. If you overcome them, you will be much stronger than if it had all come easy.
• When you reach your goals, don’t forget those who helped you along the way.  
• Be grateful daily for every little good thing in your life, no matter how small.
