The Power of Now and the Strength to Keep Going: Fuel for the Fire Within

This moment is YOUR power!

There comes a time when we all hit that wall.

You know the one. Maybe you’re standing in front of it right now, tired, frustrated, wondering if all this effort is even worth it. Maybe your dreams feel too big, your goals too far, and the weight of everything makes you question whether you should keep going.

If that sounds familiar, let me start by telling you something simple but powerful:

You are not alone.

I’m here not just as a coach, but as a creator and someone who's walked that same uncertain path. I’ve stared down the barrel of doubt, loneliness, and defeat. But here’s what I’ve discovered along the way. YOU are capable of far more than you think. And the fuel that will drive you forward? It’s already inside you.

Let’s talk about that fuel. Let’s talk about motivation.

Motivation Isn’t Always Loud

Even the smallest spark keeps the dark at bay

Motivation isn’t always about hype. It isn’t always a roar. Sometimes, motivation is quiet. It’s the whisper in your mind that says, “Try again.”

It’s that tiny flicker of light in your chest that refuses to go out, even when everything else seems dark.

I used to think motivation had to feel big like a rush of adrenaline, a Tony Robbins stage, fireworks inside my chest.

But real motivation? The kind that lasts? It’s often born in silence. It lives in stillness.

And that’s where being in the moment comes in.

The Power of Now: Where It All Begins

Peace lives here, in the now.

When I first picked up The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, I was just looking for a little peace. Life had gotten loud. My mind was racing with what-ifs and should-haves. But that book — it shifted something deep within me.

The message was clear: This moment is all we truly have.

It seems simple, almost too simple. But when you start practicing presence, everything changes. You begin to see that your anxiety about the future and your regret about the past are both distractions from your real power, right now.

The moment you are in now is the only moment you can take action. The only moment you can choose. The only moment where growth happens.

And it’s in this moment that you choose to keep going.

Keep Going — Especially When It’s Hard

Keep going, even when it's hard!

There were so many times I wanted to quit.

Times when I felt like I was falling behind while everyone else was soaring. Times when I thought I had failed. But I kept coming back to something that’s been a guiding light for me, the stories of others who pushed through.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I remind myself of the sacrifices made by those who came before me. The artists who starved for their passion. The entrepreneurs who failed over and over before they found success. The visionaries who were told they were crazy, until they weren’t.

What’s the difference between them and everyone else?

They didn’t give up.

I kept pushing through my own blocks because I knew that greatness doesn’t come to the most talented, it comes to the most committed.

And I promise you this: If you can find the strength to keep going, even when it’s dark, you’ll come out the other side stronger than you ever imagined.

Believe in Yourself: Say Goodbye to the Negative Voice

You want to know the biggest block to motivation?

That voice inside that says, “You’re not good enough.”

That voice is lying. It’s the echo of old stories you’ve been told or told yourself for far too long. And it’s time to let that voice go.

I believe the most radical, life-changing thing you can do is believe in yourself and not in a vague, cheesy way, but in a deep, bone-level conviction that you are worthy, capable, and powerful.

And if you can’t believe it fully yet, that’s okay. Start small. Start with a whisper:

“I’m capable.”

Say it again. Say it until it grows louder than the doubt.

Starting Over Is Not Failing

Starting over is strength, not failure.

There’s something else I’ve learned on this journey:

Starting over doesn’t mean you failed.

It means you were brave enough to try again.

We’ve all had chapters that didn’t end the way we wanted.

I’ve had to pivot, restart, rethink my path many times. But each time I did, I came back stronger, more focused, more me.

Don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself. Let go of the shame around "beginning again." You’re not behind.

You’re evolving.

Rediscovering Purpose Through Community

One of the most unexpected gifts of my journey came through something I didn’t anticipate: the Doginal Dog Community.

It wasn’t just about technology or investments, it was about human connection. It was about passion.

The Doginal Dog Community reminded me of what I had always loved: creating.

I picked up my cello again. I began creating art. This led to creating custom art, not just for me, but for others to experience and enjoy.

In rediscovering my purpose, I found my power. And it all started because I was willing to be open.

To follow the inspiration. To believe in what lit me up.

And I want the same for you.

This Is Your Sign

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this is it.

If you’ve been wondering whether you should give up, don’t.

If you’ve been holding onto self-doubt, let it go.

You are not broken. You are not behind. You are not lost.

You are being refined. You are being shaped. You are being prepared.

So take a breath. Feel this moment. Reconnect with the fire inside you.

Then take that next step, however small, forward.

Stay inspired,
