We recently connected with Ariel Celeste Pirela and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Ariel Celeste, so happy you were able to devote some time to sharing your thoughts and wisdom with our community. So, we’ve always admired how you have seemingly never let nay-sayers or haters keep you down. Can you talk to us about how to persist despite the negative energy that so often is thrown at folks trying to do something special with their lives?
Anyone who dares to dream big knows the sting of negativity. Haters and naysayers can be a constant presence, their voices like an aggravating chorus of doubt. But here’s the secret: persistence isn’t about silencing those voices – it’s about using them to fuel your fire. There’s a fascinating truth – the line between love and hate can be surprisingly thin. Think about it: strong emotions, positive or negative, both stem from a place of not being indifferent. Perhaps a hater, in their own twisted way, is simply expressing a strong reaction to what you’re doing. By recognizing this, we can choose to see their negativity as a form of (albeit misguided) passion. This allows us to accept criticism, not as a personal attack, but as a chance to learn and grow. Imagine yourself as a planet in orbit – some encounters will fuel your journey, while others will throw you off course. Learn to recognize these misalignments and make a peaceful exit. There’s no point in expending energy on negativity when you can focus on propelling yourself forward. Finally, the key to truly thriving in the face of negativity lies in personal alchemy. Just like an alchemist transforms lead into gold, we can transform negativity into fuel for our success. Use doubt as a motivator, criticism as a springboard for improvement. See every obstacle as an opportunity to refine your skills and strengthen your resolve.
In the words of Katt Williams, “Don’t let the devil distract you.” Every hater’s job is to keep busy hating. Your job is to alchemize that energy and the haters themselves into stepping stones on your path to success.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Celestial Content Creations (CCC) was born in 2018 from a desire to empower. Founded by Ariel Celeste Pirela, a veteran journalist and brand strategist, CCC saw a gap in the market – a need for uplifting content that spoke to historically marginalized voices. Our flagship product, the Tiny Book of Affirmations, is a testament to this mission. Launched in 2018, it sparked a movement – a “courage enthusiasm movement” as we call it – that has grown to encompass a suite of affirmation products. This includes an ebook, a card deck perfect for daily inspiration, a guided sound bath meditation for deep relaxation, and a t-shirt line emblazoned with empowering messages.
But CCC goes beyond products. We offer bi-weekly blog posts on our A.C.T. and Affirm Blog, providing actionable tips and affirmations for personal growth. We also speak at events – from youth empowerment workshops to corporate wellness seminars – spreading the message of self-belief and limitless potential. Through our newsletter, we keep our community informed about all things CCC, offering exclusive access to knowledge products and services.
At CCC, we believe in the power of personal narrative. Our offerings are designed to remind everyone of their ability to shape their reality and achieve their wildest dreams. Join us on this celestial journey!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, three things stand out as instrumental in my journey: financial savvy, inner peace, and the power of public speaking. Firstly, financial literacy was crucial. Learning to invest, diversify my portfolio, and generate income beyond my day job provided a safety net and the freedom to pursue my passions. My advice? Start early, educate yourself, and don’t be afraid to seek guidance from financial professionals.
Secondly, inner peace was a game-changer. Difficult times are inevitable, but cultivating a sense of calm allowed me to navigate them with focus and resilience. Mindfulness practices like meditation, yoga and hot girl walks in nature can be incredibly helpful. Remember, a peaceful mind is a fertile ground for growth.
Finally, embracing public speaking empowered me to share my message with the world. The classroom walls no longer confine me; the world is my stage. For aspiring speakers, my advice is to practice relentlessly, find your voice, and don’t shy away from opportunities. Remember, even small steps can lead to a global audience.
By mastering these three skills, you’ll be well-equipped to embark on your own Bold Journey. Remember, the path isn’t always easy, but with the right tools and mindset, you can achieve remarkable things.
What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
The past year has been a whirlwind of growth for Celestial Content Creations (CCC). For this, we are so thankful! Three areas stand out: mastering email marketing, embracing AI, and building a content library. Firstly, launching our email newsletter has been transformative. It allows us to connect directly with our audience, providing targeted content and fostering a sense of community. The key? Understanding our audience and adapting our content to reflect trending wellness topics. It’s all about providing value and building trust.
Secondly, I’ve embraced AI as a powerful tool. From streamlining content creation to analyzing customer data, AI helps us operate more efficiently and effectively. Don’t fear AI – leverage it!
Finally, building a deep well of content has been crucial. Repurposing content across platforms not only saves time, but allows us to cater to different audience preferences. Whether it’s a blog post transformed into a video script or an infographic reformatted for social media, this content library ensures there’s always something fresh for our audience of Star Players. It’s an honor to provide a wealth of material for new members to discover once they enter our stratosphere.
These are just a few of the ways CCC has grown in the past year. By being open to new strategies and continuously learning, we’re well-positioned for an even brighter future.
