Shannon Alder, bestselling author and relationship expert. Her insights reveal that self-esteem and change are built through action, not waiting, and that internal passion fuels lasting motivation.
“If you truly feel that self esteem and motivation have to happen first before you can make changes in your life, then we’ll probably be sharing walkers at a retirement home as we talk over what might have been.”
“If life didn’t give you at least one person not wanting you to succeed then half of us would lose are motivation to climb that cliff, in order to prove them wrong.”
“Passion is not a reaction to an external event. It is the left over emotions from the internal battles you have won that propels you forward.”
