Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I broke my promise!! Haha it's been way over a week hasn't it? Well sorry!!!! At least I write one sometimes! If it's any consolation I have been updating my secret diary in my Member's Only Section of my website, so if you feel you're missing out you know what to do!!
I have a mad love/hate relationship with this industry. But I'm not going to bang on or elaborate right now. I will be scheduling a live chat about it in my V.I.P section of my website and will pose a few questions beforehand for you to think about prior to the chat.
How are you all? Chasing dreams? Having faith? Striving high? I hope so. The world we live in now forces us to believe that to be successful is to be rich, or famous, or known by those "worth knowing". It isn't. Success is happiness and contentment. As long as I feel those things I couldn't give a damn who deems me "successful". This media culture will have you believe unless you're driving the fastest car, living in the biggest pad and mingling with all these celebs, you're not successful. People GET OUT OF THIS DREAM WORLD. Find your own reason to be happy, realise you ARE successful simply because you manage to deal with the everyday struggles of life and come out on top. You ARE successful because you kept your family well and healthy. You ARE successful because you raised a child. You are successful because you fought through an illness, or you graduated. You are successful for being you. Turn off your TVs. You won't miss a thing. You've seen Beyonce in that leotard before; it was just a different colour. You know that half of those rappers are liars, and should take up acting instead. You've heard it all before.
Focus on YOURSELF
Now is a very important time to believe in God. It has always been an important time, but now more than ever we are being tested. Have faith. Have morals. Be practical and ask yourself if the rubbish you are focusing on and making a regular part of your lives, is it really important?
Learn to love, share and cooperate and when you have learned to truly do that teach others to do the same
Search for a book called "That book". Not sure if you can still get hold of it, but try
Prioritise
Learn to love and support, rather than hate and compete
We are sharing one world; is it possible we are sharing one dream?
Peace

Beautifully written.... Couldn't have said it better myself.
Too many people defining success on the wrong things...
Success should be measured one day at a time... And I promise if you do that you'll reach every goal you set for yourself.
Well said portia. You are so right and its only recently ive started realising some of these things.
I came across your blog through my good friend Su-Elise and have checked it a few times to enjoy your perspectives.
You are a beautiful girl, but what has prompted me to leave a comment (which I never do) is your last post....
To hear someone project what I have come to realise and embrace is such a refreshing thing!
Success IS measured by your happiness and contentment.
I can't say that this is something I've been blessed with knowing my entire life... but what I can say is that whatever I have experienced, whatever I have achieved, I have never felt as SUCCESSFUL as I do right now.
With this attitude Portia you will reach your dreams and beyond.
