If You're Not Living With Purpose,
You're Just Living.
Gabriella Vargas - That's Me!
To some, I am known as the person who understands technology and social media and is called upon like I am Google (I promise you, I'm not). To others, I am known as the funny friend who will randomly start dancing and singing (anywhere) when a great Salsa or old-school Hip-Hop song is playing.
But to many, I have been sought after in times of need -- for inspiration, motivation, or just to listen. I prefer to have my life measured by the seeds I have sown and the drive to make every day count.
Thank you for being here and for listening to my stories along the journey.

My Purpose
Is to help discover and pursue work that affords you to be amazing, creative, selfless, and an inspiring individual to use your God-given strengths/gifts/talents to ultimately help benefit the lives of others. However it is done, my purpose is to help share my own knowledge and advice learned from others that will bring you one step closer to carrying out your purpose.
The Journey
Many of us are on a journey. There are those individuals who want to rush the journey and arrive at their destination QUICKLY. They believe that the faster they get there, "the more money they will receive", "the happier they will be", "the better their lives will be" and a whole bunch of "if this then that will happen".
But then there are those individuals who have an idea of where the journey can lead them but of course, with life, it's not 100% certain. And yet they are okay with that. They choose to enjoy every moment while living in the moment until they reach their destination. Once they have arrived, they start again on another journey going through the same process.
They can do this because this particular group of individuals is driven by success even when their surroundings or current situations don't breed it. Their determination and focus are what they carry around in their tool-bag to get them from where they are to where they need to be. This particular group understands it's a process and that the greatest outcomes are rewarded through faith, patience and growth. They cannot see the entire picture of what lies ahead, but...
"When the first step is taken, you start to see the bigger picture." --Gabriella Vargas
From personal experience, I've been that person trying to rush the journey. When I arrived at my destination and had the opportunity to reflect, I always remembered wishing that I could have stopped and enjoyed the moments leading up to the final destination of that journey, a whole lot more. So I strive to share my experiences with you and encourage you to live each day with purpose, enjoying your journey and learning from it.
What to Expect Here
I want you to get the most out of what I have to offer here on this site. My biggest commitment is to bring you the very best of what I’m living and learning and to keep it real and honest as I go. That is why I strive to give you invaluable tips, knowledge, wisdom, and tools that will allow help you achieve results. I will never pretend to have all the answers because I certainly make my fair share of mistakes, too.
I truly believe that we are all here on earth for a purpose and that each of our gifts is made not only for us to enjoy, but to use and share with others.
Be prepared to have your mind blown!
Remember, our talents are God's gift to us. What we do with those talents (including helping others) is our gift to God.
Gabriella is a visionary, passion enthusiast, and creative thought leader for this generation. Having started her career in the music industry, Gabriella learned very quickly what it meant to be quick on her feet, think fast, adapt to different environments, meet high demands and never take "No" as the only answer.
She ultimately transitioned careers and ended up getting into online marketing with a spin on technology and entrepreneurship. Her passion was born when she started learning and analyzing how ideas started in the mind, transported from the brain and developed through technology, could produce such beautiful pieces of work and inspiration.
Her mission became how to recreate these moments, make them better and then teach others how to do the same.
At the same time, she realized that this process was the defining moment in helping others realize their passions which led them to their purpose and created a chain reaction of sowing their gifts and talents onto other people.
Born in Brooklyn, New York but residing most of her life over the bridge in New Jersey, Gabriella is no stranger to hustle and hard work. Having been raised by a single-parent, she saw first-hand what it meant to strive for success even when the odds were against her, how to keep pushing when all she wanted to do was quit, but most of all how to go after opportunities that others claimed were not "on her level". Concurrently, coming from an athletic background helped to contribute to her strong work ethics, disciplined mentality, high performance results and being the best in order to help her team succeed as a whole.
Using smarts, humor, compassion and occasional music references, Gabriella seeks to share her advice with the world and inspire a global community looking to take control of their success and happiness. Her focus is on those individuals looking to take action by teaching self-development tools and mixing it in with business, marketing and technology skills. Her goal is to help you kick lame excuses to the curb and inject you with massive amounts of fun, inspiration and passion into each new day you encounter.
When she is not entertaining the world with her thoughts on www.GabriellaVargas.com, Gabriella can be found giving creative talks at speaking engagements, lending her time and skills at a subscription box company in New York City, practicing her Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu moves, consulting with clients, or sitting behind a stack of books and magazines at a local Barnes and Noble.
