Since it’s January 1, I am going to make an exception and make a “Just For this year” wish instead of doing a “Just For today” reminder…
The end of 2016 and most of 2017 was about being brave for me. If something scared me on the inside, I moved towards it. I began to notice that the fear I felt was a sign that I was living in a box and trapped by my comfort zone.
When I looked my fear in the face and moved forward anyway I found out that every single time my fears were unsolicited.
The best part of being brave is the freedom it gives you to choose anything you want.
The next best part is having done something you didn’t think you could, and then keeping those experiences in your heart.
This year I wish for you to do things that scare you. To show up instead of hesitate. To become everything you are meant to become this year.
I wish for you to trust in the process of life, the wonder of new beginnings, and to keep the faith that everything is happening as it should and for everyones greater good.
I wish for you to break free from the thoughts, the walls, the people, and the chains that bind you.
These are the things that make the difference, these are the things that matter. There is nothing you can’t do or shouldn’t do.
It’s incredibly beautiful to watch someone move through their fear, and I can’t wait to watch you grow.
In 2018, I wish for you to keep walking forward my friend, and I’ll be there beside you if you’ll let me.
Wishing you all of the inner strength and courage you’ll need to become the person you are meant to be and to walk the path your heart desires.
“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.
But sometimes it doesn’t.
Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.
That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
