Don't Let Fear Affect Your Dreams

Fear is a pretty normal human emotion, but it can have detrimental effects.  Sometimes fear can be helpful as a survival mechanism, but a lot of times we allow the fear to prohibit us from actually being happy, and reaching our dreams!  There have been so many times in my life when I was so afraid that it crippled me from going any further.  The truth is that if we wait just one day to work towards our dreams, we could miss an opportunity, and it could set us back weeks, months, or even years.  Don't allow the fear to keep you from taking a chance on something you really want.  Don't let the fear of actually getting what want, keep you from reaching for and achieving your dreams.  Get up and put one foot in front of the other.  We're all afraid of different things, so just take it one step at a time.  You got this!

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!        

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
