It's been awhile since I wrote a personal development article and strange as I may seem, the inspiration for today's was a Playboy Bunny!
Strange indeed... but regardless of what you think of the bevy of buxom beauties that that well known, grand octogenarian (or dirty old man, the choice is yours)Hugh Hefner surrounds himself with, one of them was the reason I got busy writing this.
Her name is Holly Madison - the ultra-blonde, well stacked young lady with the monotone voice who was Hef's No. 1 girlfriend until a few years back.
I happened to catch a 'bio' of her on Foxtel yesterday.
I was feeling in a lazy mood after working hard to deliver a business proposal and decided to indulge in an hour of trashy viewing along with a dish piled high my favourite new sweet, Pashmak (its yummy Persian fairy floss and my advice is stay away from it - it's the crack cocaine of the sweet world!)
So the bio began showing young Holly in Alaska.
A kind of goofy looking young girl complete with brown frizzy hair and plastic specs, she looked pretty much like lots of other girls who had started out fairly nondescript but had 'blossomed' into a glamorous women.
But Holly didn't really 'blossom' and this is what caught my attention.
She created.
This seemingly boring, vacant kind of lady had something that so many others don't have.
She had a direction in her head - a goal, a wish for the way she wanted her future to be and she created the person that she needed to be to achieve that vision.
Love it. More power to her.
After a family trip from Alaska to Hollywood and Disneyland, she discovered a new world of wonder and glamour and then and there she decided that was what she wanted her life to be, she was so inspired by the glitz and glamour she saw.
She kept the dream in her head as she grew and in time she began the transformation.
New boobs, new nose, new hair colour, acting lessons and employment with a promotions agency.
Holly began to take all the steps she needed to take to achieve her goal of living a Hollywood lifestyle.
Every step of the way was preceded by the thought 'I'd like to do that'
And then she took the action to get what she wanted - from a place in the Playboy Mansion, to her own TV show to a starring role in a Las Vegas revue.
Amazing.
She didn't say she couldn't do that because I she lived in Alaska/wore glasses/had boring hair/had no talent to speak of - she found out what she needed to do and how she needed to do it and DID IT.
Imagine if every time we said 'I'd like to do that' we developed a plan and put it into action?
I don't mean that everyone should get a boob job and dye their hair platinum and pose for Playboy, but hell, if that's what you want why not just do it?
Maybe your dream is to write a novel - well start writing, read a writer's magazine, talk to a publishing house, come on, get real! Or perhaps you'd like to have a career in interior design - start a course, get a business card, get your act together.
OR just maybe you are dreaming of a new relationship... so have you spent any time writing a plan? Are you actually venturing out to different places? Have you shaken off the 3 kilos that you imagine is stopping you finding someone? Don't sit at home in your trackie dacks dreaming of a the life you want - create it and LIVE IT.
Take a leaf out of Holly's book, today and get a bit closer to the life you dream of, whatever that life is. Say to yourself - 'mmm, I'd like to do that' then set out to work out how and do it.Source URL: https://new-photos-designs.blogspot.com/2011/10/holly-madison.html
