Staying #Focused and Determined

Happy Tuesday, Guys and Girls! AND Happy April! 

I hope you've been having a fantastic day! I wanted to quickly share some thoughts about staying focused and determined to achieve goals. 

As many of you know, I truly enjoy helping to motivate my friends (including my friends on social media, like you!) to reach their fullest potential. Every individual has many unique things to offer our world, and discovering and embracing talents and gifts (and ultimately, sharing those gifts,) is one of the most incredible marks that we can leave on our world. 

I often am asked, "How do you stay motivated?". And this question is a totally valid one. The truth is, there's no one "right" way to to remain motivated toward achieving goals and making your dreams your reality. 

To answer this question rather shortly for this post, I'll focus on one area that always works for me when I am feeling like I need some motivation: Focus on your "why" and your "bigger picture" about your life.  

"Why" are you doing what you're doing every single day, and what are you doing it for? Who are you doing it for? What are you working towards?

I often recommend creating a vision board (I use a digital one which is always on my phone,) and this digital vision board helps to remind me why I am doing what I am doing every single day. It helps me to focus on what I am working towards, while at the same time, helping me to feel grateful for what I already have! 

I'll be posting more about this topic on my YouTube Channel this week. I hope to see ya over there! 

And please check out some of the new travel content on DaleyPlanet's YouTube!! :)

Lots of Love and Be Who You Are!

Guys and girls! How are all of you?!

I am currently writing to you from Los Angeles, CA. Yep, I'm back in the wild city of dreams - and traffic! ;)

L.A. honestly is an incredible place to call home, however, I've definitely caught the "travel bug." And more specifically, I've caught the "Caribbean bug!" 

After spending an amazing week on St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, I couldn't wait to share my experience with all of you, my social media family.

If you have the opportunity to visit the U.S.V.I., I highly encourage you to do so! I've been to St. Croix twice now, and it is one of the most beautiful islands that I have ever been to. There are several reasons for this, including the natural beauty of the island, the white sand beaches, and the tropical weather! 

The most beautiful aspect of St. Croix, however, are the people. The men and women on this island are kind, welcoming, and genuine. I can't say enough great things about the individuals on the island! 

I have so, SO much video from the trip, and it will be posted to my YouTube Channel, along with my revamped website, and my new Instagram, "DaleyEscape," very soon. (Please be sure to follow and subscribe)!

Talk soon, friends!! And be prepared for some incredible footage! I can't wait for you to see it all! 

Lots of Love,

Guys and girls! Thanks for checking out my blog post! 

I just recorded a new podcast (search "Behind the Sign" on all listening platforms!) and I discussed the topic of FEAR. Fear, my friends, will hold us back in all areas of life, if we allow it to. 

It is time to become FEARLESS! 

It is time for you to recognize the beauty that you possess, inside and out. 

And NOW is the time to make all of your dreams your reality.

After you listen to the above-mentioned podcast episode, please check out my latest video about this topic below.

Lots of love, guys and girls!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, GUYS AND GIRLS!

Wow, I'm about 16 days late writing that here on my blog!! (My bad!)

It's been way too long since I've checked in with my readers here on Behind the Sign, and I hope that you're all doing well. How's 2019 been treating you so far? I hope it's been a fantastic start to the year. 

For me, I've jumped right back into the new year with a NEW LOOK (as you can see from the new headshot!) and I'm very excited to see what this year brings in the world of acting.

I've started the year with a new freelance writing job, and I also have some really exciting work that I'll be sharing soon involving traveling and sharing my experiences through social media and on my YouTube channel! Stay tuned for that! 

For anyone out there who also has an entrepreneurial spirit, I highly encourage you to check out my latest podcast episode, in which I discuss the importance of goal setting. (It's available on nearly all listening platforms, and here's the link to "Behind the Sign" podcast on Apple Podcasts.)

Please keep me posted on all that you're up to this year, and I'll be sure to update you on this end (and on the Hollywood life!) every week here on the blog. (Add your email to the right of this post, so that you'll never miss an update!)

Follow your dreams, be brave, and never give up!!

Guys and girls!  Happy Tuesday!

How are ya?!  I hope life is treating you well and that you're happy and healthy.  It's Thanksgiving week once again and I thought I'd quickly post a message of gratitude to all of you.

I wanted to express my sincere "thanks" for continuously supporting my blog here on "Behind the Sign" and for your friendship through the social media world!  While some of you awesome guys and girls know me in-person, the majority of my readers and my engagement on my blog come from all over the world via social media.  That's a true blessing and I appreciate the time that you take to keep up with me and my work here in Hollywood!

Thank you for your friendship and for all of the love!

What're you most thankful for?  Tweet me and let me know! 

And finally!  I just posted a new YouTube video last week.  Please be sure to give it a watch!

Keep pursuing your dreams and never give up!

Thank you!

I quickly wanted to remind all of you that you are amazing.  Each and every single one of you are totally unique and you have so much to offer this world!  

Even during days that are tough, never give up.  I have found that when going through something challenging, it is helpful to take everything one minute at a time.  You can and will make it through any challenge that you are facing!
