Taking a Giant Leap of Faith

Writing this post wasn't an easy decision because it's never easy being open and vulnerable. You always worry about what people may think or say about you, what you're doing, why you're doing it, and in the end might walk away. I made a decision for 2020 to change my mindset and my priorities because in 5 short months, I'll have a son that depends on me and looks up to me. That requires me to be the best version of me I can be. Our children grow up learning everything from us-- I could go way into depth with a bunch of family theories to explain when the learning starts, what they learn, and how they learn, but I'll spare people the details 😂--- Now it's my turn to put effort into being a more positive person, stepping WAY out of my comfort zone, and really focusing on my growth and my families growth despite what other's may think.

Recap of the past couple months....

A couple months back I tried to take a leap of faith with an online company and building my business from home. I told a handful of people I was going to give it a shot, but my decision didn't feel fully supported. Dave and I struggled being new puppy parents, I wasn't feeling good during my first trimester, and felt more shut down than motivated, so I stopped trying with the business. Do I regret caving to other people's opinions and my own fears?? 100% I've always been a little mad at myself for that, but that's why I'm taking this opportunity with a fresh year to have a fresh start for my family.

I'm not going to share which company I'm with in this post because this post is about so much more. I don't like everything I do and post to be "salesy". I wouldn't agree to work with a company that required you to nonstop promote because that is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves on social media.

The point of this post is to open up and be more vulnerable because you never know who it's going to help. You never know who needs to hear someone else be vulnerable before they can be themselves-- Hopefully my strength to push past negative feedback and fears will motivate others to do the same. It's a lot easier to judge other people's decisions for fear of what people may think if you support them. It's a lot easier to judge other people than it is to take your own leap of faith and ignore the judgements. It takes strength, courage, and patience to take a path different than those around you or to change paths from the one you are so comfortable with.

2020 should be the year of stepping out of comfort zones!!! If you aren't ready to step out of your comfort zone, support others when they do or encourage them to step! Supporting someone else may be the push you need to step out of yours ❤️

Here's to the beginning of a great new year!!! 🥂
