Fear. Anxiety. Self Doubt. Y’all three can Kiss My Ass. It’s a
stifling trinity that leads you to nowheresville.
Many of us are afraid if we pursue our dreams and fail, then living a
fulfilled life is just not possible. The safe play becomes something
we settle for because there’s security there even if it’s ultimately
unsatisfying. I say nothing worth doing is easy and why fail at
something you hate as opposed to something you love?
The struggle is real; mouths to feed, bills to pay and that persistent
trinity lending itself to a robotic lifestyle. Instead of allowing that
type of thinking to rule you and letting precious time slip away, I
challenge you to transform your life from monotony to bliss. To do
so however, you have to make conscious decisions. May these jump
starters help your cup runneth over so you can live more passionately
and inspire others to do the same!
Spirituality- I mean take some time for yourself (and yes you do
have time) even five minutes daily to get quiet, take some deep
breaths, clear your mind and count your blessings. Once you have
found that solace, ask yourself what you want in your life and what
you don’t.
Write it down-Journaling is a great source of comfort and clarity.
Studies have proven when you write down your thoughts and read
the written word, it’s more impactful and you retain that knowledge
easier. You’ll recognize patterns in your life, good and bad, which
will inform you to make better decisions. You’ll be proud as a
witness to your own progress.

podcasters all can be catalysts to help you find your way. I wouldn’t
