I am so excited for big changes in my professional life and I have to share my enthusiasm. It is amazing how much I have been inspired and energized just from taking a moment to really go for something I have been wanting for a long time... more on that later...
BUT! I have a card that hangs above my desk that says "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail" we have all heard that many times, and have probably tried to repeat it in our heads as our personal mantra more than once, right?? However, easier said than done! I am a self proclaimed perfectionist who has a VERY hard time failing. Therefor, it is often hard for me to make big decisions or put myself out on a limb because I am afraid to fail. I never really understood how powerful fear was as an emotion. For me, it can be paralyzing. Thanks to a lot of opportunities to stick my neck out and an amazing therapist who has taught me more about myself than I care to know, I think I am finally getting the hang of taking a leap of faith! This last year has bombarded me with numerous opportunities to stare fear right in the face and say "I am not afraid," and I am so grateful that I have.
With that in mind, as my mission is always to inspire others, I just want to say - JUMP. If there is something you have wanted to do, big or small, life changing or just a new hair cut - GO FOR IT. The feelings that will come after the fear has passed will carry you through and motivate you to succeed. If you need more encouragement, send me an email and I will be happy to talk you into anything.
Happy leaping, let me know how it goes!!
And if you need extra motivation, both because Kris Allen is so fun to look at and because the lyrics are so fitting:
