Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone.

Live Each Day To The Fullest.

Dream Big …

Cliches are cliches for a reason right?         Cliche: a phrase or opinion that is over-used or lacks original thought.

How many times have you heard: “The Early Bird Gets The Worm” or “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” 

It’s not original because it’s obvious. Yet, somehow without cliches we might forget to do those things we know deep down inside we should have done.

This year I feel like I’ve been living amongst the cliches. “Take A Leap of Faith” “Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone” & “Follow Your Dreams” being the ones that seem to crop up every day. Now I don’t think following my dreams mean that one where I was hanging with Oprah, Ryan Reynolds & that random guy that works at Starbucks is where I should be headed. I’m talking what I want my life to be. Everyday I am re-evaluating what direction I am moving in.  I know life is changing every minute & I can’t bronze over my dream, never adjusting it to reality. Somehow it gets better every time I make a change. I see a fuller, happier picture of my future evolving.

Once again I was reminded by a good group of my awesome friends to make a video to submit as entry for an amazing opportunity to participate in a business class with the awesome business woman & photographer Tamara Lackey. I’ve become a serious fan of hers in the last year & quite honestly, I did NOT want to make a video. She is awesome and the last thing you want to do is maybe end up looking bad in front of someone you’re a huge fan of. Second … it goes out to the internet. You with me now? Basically people everywhere have access to me possibly looking ridiculous. As if my anxiety wasn’t bad enough. Yet, somehow my awesome friends reminded me that I’m never going to move forward if I pass up opportunities because I am afraid. How am I ever going to get anywhere if I don’t put myself out there? So I did it. I made a video. I entered to get picked for the class. I have five days or so to wait & see if I get picked.

I am not going to lie. I WANT in that class like nobody’s business but there was something seriously freeing about moving past my own fears. I feel good. Even if everyone from this moment on has nothing good to say about what I put out there, it ok because I feel good about it. No regrets. Plus I am NOT reading comments. I just can’t. I’ll end up eating an entire tub of ice cream & that’s just not good.

No, I am not adding a link to the video. What are you NUTS? It’s out there to be found if you really NEED to see it.
