What Is Your Foundation? 

Rebuilding is not an easy task. It takes time, dedication, and most importantly, a strong foundation. Without that solid base, it is only a matter of time before everything crumbles down again. 

The same principle applies when it comes to our personal lives. If we don’t have a strong foundation, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, and be easily swayed or affected by what others are saying. It’s important to have a safe place where you can return to, no matter what life throws your way. 

So — what is your foundation? That’s a question you’ll have to answer for yourself, but Lilly defines her foundation into four core pillars: 

“A foundation for me is a relationship to yourself, a relationship to the universe, understanding distraction, and implementing designs. These are the four things I repeat to myself every single day. [In] any conflict, I look at through that lens — that is the foundation of my triangle. … I think that all conflicts can be looked at through these four things, and this is the foundation of every single person’s triangle is what I believe.” – Lilly Singh

When you have a strong relationship with yourself, it sets the tone for all other relationships in your life. You will be more confident and authentic, and you can better trust your own intuition and judgment. So take some time to get to know yourself, figure out what makes you happy, and build that foundation strong!

How to Approach Failure

When it comes to success, there’s one thing that is for sure — failure is inevitable. No matter how hard we try, or how much we plan, things will go wrong along the way. The key is not to let failure get us down because it doesn’t define who we are as a person. Instead, embrace it as one of the many opportunities to learn and grow. 

“I just literally always define myself by external things. … Success or failure … does not reflect on you as a person. This is not your value. … I would just remind myself that failure or a low rating is just a little thing. A low rating [in my book] is not a low rating for me as a human. It is that project. … It is not me. I am not that thing, [and] that thing is just something I did.” – Lilly Singh

We all make mistakes. It’s a part of life. But, what really matters is how we react to those failures. Do we let them define us? Or do we use them as motivation to do better next time? Failure isn’t fun, but it’s a part of life. And it doesn’t have to define who you are as a person. You can pick yourself up, learn from your mistakes, and try again. 

Every great person has experienced great failure. Don’t limit yourself by never trying — take a risk and be open to relearning things you thought you already understood.

I want to acknowledge Lilly for being a wonderful person, and continuously making an impact on other people’s lives. Her definition of greatness is something you need to remember.

“[Greatness is] is someone who actively puts the work into discovering their purpose. Whatever that purpose is, I don’t care if it’s making great ice cream or changing the world, whatever your purpose is, you put the work into learning why you’re here and what you can uniquely offer. I think that is greatness because I think people should impact the world in only a way they can. But so often we don’t put the energy into figuring out what that way is.” – Lilly Singh 

Most people think that greatness is something that they are just born with. They believe that you are either born a genius, or you’re not. That’s not true at all. Geniuses are made, not born. And the same goes for greatness. It’s something that you have to actively put the work into discovering. 

Friends, find your purpose in life and put all of your effort towards reaching it. It won’t be easy, but don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something great because you can. 

If no one’s told you lately, let me remind you that you are loved, you are worthy, and you matter. You know what time it is — it’s time to go out there and do something great!
