“Always do what you’re afraid to do.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Monday Y’all!  Every Monday I’m going to share with you a quote that I hope keeps you inspired and motivated through the week.  This week’s quote from American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson really resonated with me. 

“Always do what you’re afraid to do.”

This year I plan on scaring the shit out of myself.   I’m doing things I have always been too reserved to do because of what other people may think or say.  I no longer want to live my life by the approval of others.

 I plan I’m making fun YouTube videos and even doing a really sexy boudoir session with an amazing photographer on the West Coast.  I can’t wait to share those photos with you! 

I will no longer fear mistakes.  I mean what’s the point?  You’re going to end up making them regardless of how hard you tried to avoid them.  In my experience, the more I tried to avoid them… the bigger the mistake tended to be.    I’m going to embrace the mistakes I make and no longer be afraid of the potential consequences. 

If we stay complacent we will never grow.  We should constantly do things that challenge us because those challenges are what define us as people.  Fear isn’t a wall that stops us.  Fear is only a hurdle.  You can always clear that hurdle. 

Face your fears head on this week.
