When is the last time you had that feeling? Fear?
You know…
Excitement, mixed with fear, mixed with panic, mixed with WoooHooo! I spent a couple weeks visiting family in Texas and while at the Houston Rodeo, I decided to give the mechanical bull a whirl. Now, being a mommy of two babies, living the suburbia life, this was a little unexpected.
Why did I do it?
Because I love to push myself out of my comfort zone. I love it. Growth and courage thrive outside of your comfort zone. You learn who you are when you get thrown into new situations. You push yourself. This is why we can’t let fear dictate our lives. Fear is a killer. It stops people before they even start.
What if I:
- look dumb?
- fail?
- can’t get on the bull?
- fall down?
- make people laugh at me?
Seriously? Who the heck cares?

Do it evern if you have fear
Do it anyway. Live your life, unafraid. Summon courage to do the things you have always wanted to do. It might be a business, a blog, it might be a job, or a move, or a relationship. Pursue what your intuition places in your heart.
I am not the first who will tell you this. It is not a new idea…however, maybe I will reach you by telling you in a new way.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. – Mother Theresa
You might put your love and trust on the line. It’s risky, people love to tear that down. Let ’em try. Do it anyway. – Ben Folds
So don’t you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine. -Taylor Swift
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again. -Theodore Roosevelt
My advice is that you go and live an unafraid kind of life. My hope is that you walk away just a tiny bit more courageous after reading this. Join me to continue to find the courage to grow your business here.
