{Fearless Friday} What’s Holding You Back?

Sometimes in life we finally get a chance to get our heads above water and we realize there’s something we don’t like about our life.

Maybe it’s our job. Maybe it’s the fact that we can’t seem to go three days without an argument with our man. Maybe it’s the fact that the kids are always fussing, or money is always tight.

We want something to change but we don’t know how to start.

So we do nothing. And end up frustrated about same things day after day, week after week, month after month.

But what we don’t realize is that we are the ones driving the car. This is OUR life.

I fell in the trap of being REactive about everything after being caught off-guard with an unplanned pregnancy (okay, two unplanned pregnancies). Ever since then, I felt like I was playing catch-up, which, consequently, left me feeling out of breath, like I was racing toward a goal I a) couldn’t see and b) would never reach.

I’m finally getting the chance to be PROactive – anticipating scenarios, pushing forward at every turn, mapping out my life in a way that makes sense for me. THIS feels great.

I want you to ask yourself: What’s holding you back from doing what you truly want to do? Is it you? Your finances? Your obligations? Your attitude?

Every day, I want you to be moving forward, toward the eventual goal that is yours by definition. But it starts with you, and a promise to yourself that you won’t let anything get in the way.
