Everything that鈥檚 happened to you has prepared you,鈥� Rassyle further emphasized. 鈥淵ou have the power to create anything you want.鈥�
After Rassyle introduced herself to the enthusiastic crowd, she talked about how she became a motivational speaker and author. Before her divorce, Rassyle had a life she described as 小蓝视频 鈥減icture perfect.鈥� She had a great house, a loving family and a successful marriage then everything feel apart when she was 40-years-old. Rassyle moved into a tiny apartment with her family and struggled financially. At this juncture, she decided to transform her existence and move upwards in a wholistic sense, instead of shifting herself and her family into a downward spiral. 鈥淓verything happens for a reason,鈥� the author declared. 鈥淭he real character comes when you鈥檙e down, not up,鈥� she added. 鈥淕ive up thinking about could go wrong and think about what could go right.鈥�
After her inward self-revelation about the exciting possibilities of individual power, creativity and leadership, the author decided to assist others in waking up and sensing their own individual strengths.
鈥淗ow can you take your life back?鈥� Rassyle asked the audience. 鈥淵ou can be a leader,鈥� she answered. 鈥淯nderstand your thoughts and actions are shaping you and everyone around you.鈥� According to the author, an individual鈥檚 inner-beliefs and thoughts have an important function in moulding and directing their lives. The author said the average person has about 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day. 鈥淭hose thoughts are either serving you or not.鈥� To get rid of the bad thoughts and replace them with optimistic and constructive ideals, the author instructed the audience to pull rubber bands over their wrists. 鈥淲hen you have a thought that doesn鈥檛 serve you, snap the band around your wrist,鈥� Rassyle suggested.
鈥淭he more you think a thought, the more it becomes a belief,鈥� said Rassyle as she further outlined how inner thoughts are capable of directing an individual to attain specific outcomes. Thoughts become feelings, which in turn become actions and then conclude with definitive results. 鈥淐hange your thoughts by not focussing on the event, but by changing your response to the outcome.鈥�
For Rassyle, understanding the power of a single individual is an important keystone for self-actualization. 鈥淵our thoughts and decisions are changing your life. Action is required. 鈥淵ou are one decision away from changing your life,鈥� she instructed.
