Taking the next step...

With the beginning of a new year upon us, I encourage you to take some time to reflect positively on the past year of your journey; the lessons you've learned, the progress you've made, the fears you've overcome.

Then, make a promise to yourself for the upcoming year: stop talking and start doing! 

Getting Started:

  • Make a list of the dreams that are alive within you
  • Brainstorm ways to make time in your busy schedule to focus on them
  • Having trouble??? MEDITATE (take 10 minutes, turn on some calming music, take a few deep breaths, and let your mind/body tell you what you want/need)
  • Start looking for a place to start...OPPORTUNITIES are everywhere! 
  • Overcome the fear of failure. Not every opportunity will end positively...be okay with it, learn from it, and move on.
  • Be CONFIDENT! Don't worry about others; what they'll say or think about you, how they'll react, or whether they'll support you or not. You need positive energy on this journey, not negative people.
  • Trust: that God has a plan for your life and that there is a purpose for your journey.
  • Make a decision and take the first step...no matter how scary or uncomfortable it might be.
  • BELIEVE: in yourself, in the dream, in the process. 
  • Wait and see what happens...

Can't wait to hear what this next year has in store for you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
