\"\"Can you introduce yourself?<\/h4>\n

Hi, I\u2019m Asha Leo! I\u2019m from London and I live in Los Angeles. I created this concept called Asha Attempts and it lives on YouTube. It came from this place of wanting to inspire people to do more. Sometimes, some goals will seem unachievable, unrealistic and too huge to ever be able to tackle, which normally puts people into a place of fear and inaction. So, my whole idea was to encourage people to just give it a try because it doesn\u2019t matter if you fail. You are doing something – some movement, one step in the direction you want to go – and you will always be thankful for that. I found that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is when miraculous things happen. That\u2019s when you find a part of yourself that makes you believe you really can do anything. For some people, it might be asking for a raise or asking that special person out. For me, I love adventurous things so it would be diving with great white sharks or trekking in the jungle for the wild silverback mountain gorillas. Those are the kinds of things that feed me and every time I push myself, I learn something new. I learn who I am, I connect more to my purpose and that always translates back into how I am in the world. For me, it\u2019s helped me love myself more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How are you unstoppable?<\/h4>\n

I\u2019d like to think that I am unstoppable because I don\u2019t believe in the word can’t<\/em>. I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s not possible to do something. Even if I try and make an attempt, at least I\u2019ve tried. I have this acronym called FAIL, which means your first attempt in learning. So, if you just keep going, it makes you unstoppable. You are unstoppable if you just make an attempt to do something. I think it\u2019s such a good way to live your life and I think being unstoppable carries into so many aspects. So many people, I think, think of it more as an action. I think being unstoppable is a feeling too. I think it\u2019s about how you care for one another and how you care for the world at large. I think being unstoppable makes you realize that there are no limits. The only limit you put in the world is what you put on yourself and you just have to try. It\u2019s okay to fail, but you just have to try. One year from today you will be so happy that you at least made that attempt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you tell us about your next big adventure?<\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve learnt that the best parts of life come when you are in service of others. My travels around\u00a0the world have led me to understand that the true purpose of life is giving back. I\u2019m half Indian and I have the opportunity to work with an anti-child sex trafficking charity in India, so that\u2019s my next big adventure. I\u2019m going to go and meet all the people who are on the team and some of the children who have been rescued. I\u2019m going to hear their story and learn what life is like for them now. Then, I will come back here and tell the world about their struggle and hopefully help them out. I know that by having that experience, there is a whole new part of me that is going to open up and I think that\u2019s part of being unstoppable<\/em>. I don\u2019t know the limits of what Asha is capable of and all these new experiences feed into that.<\/p>\n
