I don’t know when it got so cool to instantly discount our own thoughts, opinions, ideas, and inspirations.
Every time we get a beautiful idea or hit from our intuition, what happens? We immediately drown our idea in fear, excuses, and logic.
We automatically give all of our power to the potential of some made up worst case scenarios that never come true, and as a result we crush our own potential before it even gets a chance to grow.
And WHY?
Because we’ve normalized the pain of settling.
We’ve made it all-too-acceptable to tread water in a life we don’t love simply because it’s safe and comfortable.
We bet on our fears more than we bet on ourselves, and as a result, we suffocate our authentic purpose and limitless potential.
This is a recipe for regret. This is the fastest way to guarantee that this one life you get will be filled with stress and frustration.
It’s time to start living like YOU matter. It’s time to take action on the undeniable call to step up to be, have and do MORE with the only life you’ve been given.
Because there is one thing that hurts more than settling for a life you don’t love…and that’s losing hope that you have what it takes to build the one you want.
I’ve been there and I’ve been trapped by that pain. But I’ve also experienced the indescribable feeling of stepping up to become everything I knew I was being called to be.
And that’s what I want for you. Because despite what you feel right now, you MATTER and everything you truly want is lovingly in reach.
Take hope. Stand up. And DECIDE once and for all that building the life you deserve is more important than the comfort of settling….
Feels great, right?
