When You Set Your Mind To It

"As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter how unrealistic or far-fetched a dream or ambition may be. I am quite convinced that we all have it in us to achieve nearly everything we set our mind to."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

If You Have Lost Track of Your Dreams

"If you have lost track of what your dreams are, not just in work but in life itself, think back to when you were a child.  A time when you believed that anything was possible. What did you dream of then?  What are you most passionate about and happiest doing in your life right now?  Write down your answers and look at them carefully. Ask yourself if there’s a job out there somewhere that would involve doing the things that you love. You might even find a way of creating a job for yourself that involves all the things you love."

Take That First Step

"Remember the old Chinese proverb: ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ Take that first step and you are closer to reaching your goal."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Make It Part of Your Thinking

"Now I tell people that I was born with a burning desire to follow my dreams, and I sincerely believe that if you say that often enough it becomes such a part of your thinking that the last thing you’ll do is give up on whatever your dream is."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

It Is Up To You To Push Yourself

"When you’re an adult, it’s down to you to push yourself, and I still push myself using lessons my mother taught me when I was very young. One way she kept me on track was to question decisions I made. If I said, ‘Oh, I don’t really feel like practicing today,’ she’d say, ‘Well, think about how you’ll feel on Saturday if you don’t do well in your competition. You’ll only have yourself to blame, and you’ll never know if you could have done better if you’d practised!’"

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Explore Life Began With Dreaming

"My desire to explore life began with dreaming. When I was a child I used to watch famous dancers, actors and singers on stage and television and think, ‘That’s what I’m going to do one day.’ And I never for a moment doubted that my dream would come true."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Enjoy Your Day To Day Life

"While I was there I realized that it was time to live and enjoy the journey to success, for the journey really is as important as the destination. How much we enjoy our day to-day life really matters far more than a brief moment of success after years of miserable slogging."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

How The Law of Attraction Works

"Visualizing what I wanted from life seemed to bring it to me, and that was all very positive. But, as I was to discover, the law of attraction can work two ways – positively and negatively."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

The Art of Visualization

"You can make your dream even more tangible by being specific and putting dates by your goals. Hang your dream board somewhere where you’ll see it every day, and, when you look at it, notice the wonderful feelings you experience when you imagine those dreams coming true. This is what visualization is all about."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Try Not To Worry About The Rest

"He taught us that, just as with all things in life, some things were in our control, and others never would be. Our dancing, our stamina and our state of mind were things we could control. But the music we had to dance to, the quality of the dance floor, the judges and the other competitors were not. Like them or not, we had to put up with them. ‘Just focus on those things you can control,’ he’d say. ‘And try not to worry about the rest.’ Words that have become a mantra for me and words I love to share with my clients."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Always Something Positive To Be Found

"As a life coach I have learned that we can always turn a negative situation into a positive one. You just have to look at it from a different angle, and think, ‘OK, that wasn’t very nice – but what can I take away from it that will help me in the future?’ There is nearly always something positive to be found."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Anger Eats You Away

"I now know how toxic anger can be. Anger eats away at you, it changes who you are and how you act. It made me cautious and mistrustful of other people, and I went into survival mode, becoming quite cold and telling myself that the other girls were just jealous because I had a talent that made me special, and better than them. I know now that thinking in that egotistical way was doing me no favours at all. Nobody is any better than the next person, but sometimes we have to work hard to remember that."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Just Keep Trying

"Everything is simple. As children we see a bike, we want the bike, we get the bike. Even if we don’t know how to ride the bike, we believe that it’s possible to ride the bike and we just keep trying until we can do it."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

In All Aspects of Your Life

"In all aspects of life – even if you are not the obvious choice, you can still win a competition or get the job of your dreams if you work for it and keep on believing in yourself."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Success Is Not Only About Money

"Success does not always mean earning lots of money, or having a top job. To some, it might mean knowing that their children have grown up into beautiful, kind, well-rounded people. To others, it might mean running 14 marathons. Or it could mean finding inner peace." 

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Don't Live The Rest of Your Life with Regrets

"If you find yourself thinking that you haven’t got the life you wanted or deserved – if you are simply unhappy – then I urge you, please look at ways you can change direction. Remember the dreams you used to have and revive them. Don’t live the rest of your life with regrets, they are a bar to happiness."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

A Great Way To Tap Our Creative Mind

"I think it’s also thanks to Mor that I have come to believe that no matter how old we are, playing is a great way to help us tap into our creative mind, another route to helping us find our dreams. But it’s something we often give up as we grow up, like laughter, and that’s really sad." 

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Brush Yourself Off and Carry On

"Believe in yourself. Always treat others how you want to be treated. And when you fall, get up, brush yourself off and carry on."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

How You See A Problem Determine Your Success

"Never forget that we always have a choice. We can see a problem as an obstacle or as a challenge. See it as a challenge and it becomes an obstacle that can be overcome."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Don't Be Too Concerned About How

"Sometimes if we get too concerned about the ‘how’ we lose faith in the fact that it can happen. Plan and act, but keep seeing and believing that step by step the end goal will be reached."
