For the Win | The Hong Kong Challenge

​“What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
 
It’s a quote that most of us know, and a question that has been running circles around my mind for the past few weeks, and my most recent trip to Hong Kong made it ever so present and relevant. 
 
Hong Kong holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the place where my brand, BagLady Basics made its initial debut- it’s the city of “firsts” for BagLady Basics!

​The place where I first wore my first three designs, and where I got feedback on my dresses and brand name. The city of my first B.L.B photo-shoot, and where I made great friends in fashion that encouraged and supported me from the beginning. 
 
So upon my return to this beautiful city, I ruminated on what I’d done, where I’d been, and how I’d grown since I started B.L.B. Most importantly, I started thinking about what I wanted for my future.

​​“What would I do, if I knew I couldn’t fail?” I asked myself out loudly. 'Wellllllll', and I started thinking about things that I’d usually daydream about, and as my thoughts took form, my fears, both big and small crept into my dreams. 
 
But fear has no place in my heart, and as soon as I detected its presence, I took action, and decided to change the rhetoric. 
 
“What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
 
Ok there are too many negative words in this, like ‘couldn’t’ and ‘fail’, I thought to myself.
 
Let me remix this shit…
 
How about, "What would you do if you knew you’d WIN?"
 
And I proceeded with my daydreams.

​THIS is a question that I think we should all ask ourselves- ask ourselves and then answer! Answer and then maintain a positive mindset and work towards those future wins.

I have a couple "WINS" in mind, that I've now started working towards and will share with you all eventually, but till then, I'll throw this question out to you!

What would you do if you knew you’d WIN? 

Come on and join me in this challenge!

Trams are much slower than the metro, but way cooler!
