Rihanna has always been in her brand of effortless cool. Even at the height of her music career when she was "competing" with other popstars like Gaga & Katy Perry, she wasn't worried about ANYTHING else they were doing. And she can crossover from hip-hop, to R&B to EDM, to adult contemporary. I mean there isn't anyone in music who has had her caliber of success while simultaneously crossover between so many genres and sounds. It's also insane how her General Public momentum has sped up in recent years. It's interesting that everyone from the gangsters to the frat bros to the soccer moms fuck with Rihanna and bump found love, diamonds, what's my name?, etc. The fact that everyone is anticipating an album is actually insane considering even in the glory days of Janet and Madonna from the prior generation, they were half as popular in the 90's and the 00's compared to their 80s heyday AND Rih hasn't relseased an album in over half a decade.

Train yourself, trust yourself, and treat yourself.✨ Wise words from a stunning queen and pack leader, thank you for the video ! 💛

Maybe very unpopular opinion in woke times but in motivation and relentlessness and going forward despite feelings like hopelessness, my inspiration is definitely JK Rowling. I think she is very strong character, has very strong work ethic and was really fighting on for her dream and she handles rejection very well. Maybe I relate to her more as she seems to me more familiar, she is a writer, she is European, she spend her young adult years similar way to myself and in same places.

Shallon, I do the same thing. I outline my books too. On top of that, I make myself write a certain number of words everyday (two thousand words in my case). Finally, I have a quasi-"friend" who is critical of everything I write. He loves to tear apart everything I write. Sometimes, some of his criticism is even right (seems to be 25% - LOL).

THANK YOU for addressing the weirdo comment that someone made judging Rihanna for not be married or birthing. That mentality is SO completely outdated, ignorant and judgmental. Geez, why would anyone think we all want the same things in life??? Life is not about the OR, it's about the AND. (I got that from GaryV). Our success in life is not, "you better get married and have children or you'll be miserable". That's a ridiculous way to think. Life is not about one specific, narrow route. You can be whatever you want life to be; like one happiness route is having a family, and then another happiness route is to be single, and there's another happiness route of choosing not to have children, etc. ALL ways are equal, it's about what makes YOU happy. Period. Namaste sisters. 🕊

"Hustlers move in silence" is now one of my favorite quotes.

I honestly thought this video wasn't going to apply at all to people with real motivation issues and only to those who are already functioning at a very high level. I thought you were going to give us platitudes that don't get to the root of the problem. But this was actually quite helpful and what I needed to hear today when I've been putting off completing my assignments for days now, mainly because my perfectionism is getting in the way. Instead of worrying about writing a perfect paper, I should break down the paper into manageable steps and work on completing each step to the best of my ability.

I feel like you have somehow tapped into my cosmic waves. Every time I’m STUCK somewhere. Relationship. Job. Conflicts. You name it. But, every time you somehow tap into that stream of consciousness and provide solutions.

Who needs a therapist when you have shallon?

😂 I bought emoji stickers to use when I write in my journal. You all can laugh at me, I think it's funny too, but the journals are private and writing in them has been very therapeutic for me. Rihanna is amazing, so talented and so pretty, I'm proud of her. You're so right about everything being right on schedule, Shallon. One of the things that I've been saying to myself lately is, "everything in God's perfect timing". Don't beat yourself up, just trust the process, and everything really does get easier when you start living within your purpose. If you haven't found your purpose yet, don't worry about that either, it will randomly wash over you one day and then you will have peace.

Do you ever do writing sprints? You can do them with with friend which is a better motivator, or alone by setting a timer. You can either use pomodoro method, or just go hard for one uninterrupted hour. It feels like a race which almost makes it fun, and it's insane what you can get done in an hour. Often at the end of the hour you actually want to keep going. Then you have dopamine from having done work which leaves you happier the rest of the day.

Yes Robert Greene talks about the importance of walking in your purpose and alignment in the book Mastery.

Random piece of advice for who needs it, but for me the mundane can really burn me out and I really resonated with what Shallon said about getting your daily routines in order so you don't spend too much energy on the things that don't matter so much. I used to dread cooking for myself because a) I didn't have creativity to spend on thinking of what to eat every day and b) hated spending time in a supermarket every day trying to decide. But it's not cooking I hate, nor eating healthy, I love both. Unrelated but I went somewhere for a few weeks, there my only option was to go to the supermarket once a week because it was a 3 hour trip instead of my usual 2 min. walk. It taught me I only need to spend creativity once a week on what I want to eat, can enjoy the mouthwatering anticipation for preparing my favourite foods all week and include a 30 minute cycle every week, which I enjoy, by going to a (cheaper) supermarket further away. Sometimes seemingly the most convenient option, isn't the least stressful option at all. Convenience and fulfilment don't really share much resemblance either I think.
