When was the last time you were brave? Went back to school? Changed jobs? Took hold of your health? Sacrificed something for someone else? Look back at all your moments of courage and think about who or what led you there.
I have made some brave decisions in my life so far, and I’m not even 30.
✨When I was 18, I moved to New York City all by myself and attended a performing arts academy
✨When I was 20, I took a performing gig on a cruise ship that went around the world, and stayed there for 8.5 years
✨When I was 23, I moved to Australia for a man on a work/holiday year-long visa
✨From 24-26, I chose to finish my degree online while working on that same cruise line traveling all over Europe
✨At 27, I got my certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and also did this all online, on a ship
✨At the same age, I said yes to marrying a Scotsman who’s family lives halfway across the world.
And just recently, I have moved to Orlando, Florida, saying goodbye to a life I know so well. I was not ready for life to pull me in this direction. I was scared and confused and helpless. I had my cry and picked my ass right up. I didn’t have time for siting around feeling sorry for myself. I went through some massive changes, and had to make huge sacrifices and I wouldn’t change them for anything. Fear could’ve easily held me back from most of these experiences and moving forward. We let fear take over so much of our lives and the choices we make everyday. Sometimes, we say no to brave choices out of the fear of change, or a lack of acceptance from others. When we say yes, we can potentially have meaningful experiences that enrich our lives. One theme I see over and over again when I watch interviews with older people, is they regret that they let fear hold them back from doing what they wanted to do.
So, how can you be brave today? What is something you’ve always wanted to do or accomplish but haven’t taken the leap? What’s holding you back from being the best version of yourself? Don’t you deserve to have a rich and passionate life?
As a coach, I push others to find their courage and leap into the unknown, to put themselves first and always, and to not let society/culture tell us how to live our lives. Let’s create some magic together and make some of your dreams a reality.
