Lets discuss the real T R U T H about fear in the face of changes. Shall we?

Change in any form can often be extremely frightening , but very predominant for growth.

Where were you just 5 years ago ?

What is stopping YOU from taking the leap of faith and stepping into your highest potential?

Is it limiting beliefs ?

Self sabotage?

Is it the thought of embarking on unknown?

How many more years are going to go by until you start that business, travel the world , build your dream home , get that degree or finish pass by before you actually go all in?

Plethora of questions , that only you know the answers to . Please remember to give yourself grace .

You see , over time these are questions I have had and still ask myself. There was a time in my life , that although I had big dreams and aspirations . Due to the lack of belief I had in myself and the company I had around me . I never proceeded. I allowed myself to say stagnant.

Fast forward to the present ! Progressive.

Truth is , God (whoever you believe in ) ALREADY knows all of our deepest desires, hopes and dreams. A lot of us know, what will ultimately make us happy. We know the things that we need to do to bring us happiness…but because there’s so many steps, and so many changes that we have to make to get there…we often put it off.

Have you ever got a reoccurring sign ? You know the ones that starts off like a little nudge that later turns into a big one ?

I have personally noticed that through those little nudges , and taking inspired action has been some of best decisions I have made to date. On the flip side of that , when the nudges are there and they are constantly ignored , or put off . All it really does is have you spinning your heels without actually getting anywhere . It also sends a signal that repels greatness from occurring.

When it comes to taking that leap of faith, if its the uncertainty that’s holding you back, I understand, totally. There is not a person alive that has never experience fear of any sort . If they have told you otherwise, don’t you believe that for a second ! I face it all the time. Fear is so big and so prevalent today. Nothing produces more failure than does .. FEAR. You may be thinking after recent events that times are more uncertain than ever before.. and you’re absolutely right !

It’s okay to feel fear in the face of transformation. The only way to get past it though, is to move forward in spite of it. In fact, fear often points us in the direction we ultimately NEED to go in to GROW.

Today as in right now , this moment is no more uncertain than yesterday. Tomorrow is never promised and the only true certainty we have in this life IS uncertainty. Really , your power is in the present.

Gentle Reminder

Things may not always go as planned; failure is inevitable, and the journey of life is filled with numerous experiences. Despite what it may look like , nobody ever gets to enjoy a smooth sailing ride. Did I say , no one ? Yes I definitely did . I believe that there is abundance available, plenty to laugh about , and lots of opportunities right in front our eyes.

So , take each and every moment as it unfolds before you, and CHOOSE to make the absolute most of this one , and live in your truth. —

Imagine this…

Exactly one year from now, you wake just before the sun rises, you feel so well rested from the night before . In complete gratitude, you come to the realization that...

You did it...

You made a commitment to yourself to becoming . Becoming the woman you were always destined to be. A complete 360! It was no walk in the park , but with the right support system , faith , and discipline, you released YEARS (decades, even) of past pains, traumas, dramas, and disempowering beliefs that weighed you down. Despite it all, especially the times you wanted to just give up. You still managed to believe in yourself . Regardless of what anyone had to say. Regardless, of how dis empowering you felt some days .

AND NOW…you’re exactly where you’ve always dreamed of being if not even better !

A lot of good CAN happen in just a few short years. Let alone one year! Every little bit counts.

The very dreams you thought was IMPOSSIBLE just the year prior.

A visible testimony!

YES!

You’re living your dream life, the life you been praying for.

You look at yourself in the mirror and your beautiful eyes swell up with tears . These are a different type of tears , ones of joy and happiness . Realizing there you are. The most loving, magnetic, confident, and free version of yourself is staring back at you and you feel like you’re finally.. home.
