How to take charge of your life

Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens FOR you.

It’s a powerful quote. But what does it mean?

It means that you’re in the driver’s seat. You’re in charge of your life’s direction.

Don’t wait for opportunities to arise. Create them for yourself.

When I qualified as a Power Yoga Teacher while juggling a full-time corporate job, I knew that if I wanted to pursue my passion, I had to take proactive steps.

Instead of waiting around, I:
✨ Organized free classes to build my skills and network
✨ Reached out to over a dozen studios in London, offering to cover classes
✨ Joined groups, connected with others, and explored every avenue

I had to keep going for a while. Eventually, I got positive responses. I got to teach. I started gaining experience.

Was it outside my comfort zone? Absolutely.

To start creating opportunities, ask yourself:
➡️ What can I do differently from what I’m currently doing?
➡️ Who can I connect with outside my usual network?
➡️ How can I take a bigger risk for a bigger reward?

Life is now. Take charge.
