Business Lesson: Your dream job isn’t going to look like your dream job right away

I remember being 17, and completely enthralled with Jillian Michaels. I remember watching her on The Biggest Loser, and thinking that if I was going to be anything in the fitness industry, it was going to be Jillian; millions of people watching me every week, impacting the lives of hundreds of people, and making the world a healthier place one episode at a time. It didn’t happen. I graduated university, went to college, and 5 years later, ended up as the Editor-in-Chief of Canada’s biggest bodybuilding magazine, www.MuscleInsider.com. I may not have ended up on television, but I still have people watching me every week on our social media platforms, I have still impacted the lives of hundreds of people by producing and curating content in the magazine, and I’ve made the world a healthier place, one issue at a time.

Life Lesson: Don’t take anything personally

I learned this one through the book, “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz. It speaks to the fact that everyone is fighting their own battle, and as a result, they may say or do things that you take to heart. They made offend you. But truthfully, nothing anyone does is inherently because of you (unless you’re an a$$hole). According to Ruiz, “What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.” So take yourself out of your head, realize that unless you did something to instigate their offense, this really had nothing to do with you. The sooner you get over that and realize it, the sooner you can manifest your own dreams, and get back to your positive reality.
