Risk Taker

I took a dive into something I have always wanted to do this past. I talked myself out of it a few times but this time I just threw my hands up and yelled, “Why not?!”

That felt good.

Then, later that day mid-onion chop in my kitchen, I paused and had the thought, “I wonder where else I have talked myself out of something in my life?”

And that did not feel good.

Huh. Do I hold myself back more than I thought I do? I think so.

I know we hear the saying, “You only live once.” but sheesh…how serious do we actually take that? And YOU!!! YOURSELF being the one to make it not happen? Yikes.

That was a true wake-up call for me. So…

Risks. Take them. And let it open doors for more risks built on confidence you have created from previous risks (phew). Baby steps. Self trust and self confidence is BASED ON cheering yourself on it hard situations or jumping into something new or RISKY. The power is where you come out on the other side of it. Whether its good, bad, awful, incredible or a total fail, show up for yourself and be your biggest support system.

Til next time,
