FACING YOUR FEARS, CHASING YOUR DREAMS AND MY PERSONAL MANIFESTO

3/27/2014

You have a big dream.

I know you do.

I also know that whenever you think about your big juicy dream you can’t help but think about failing, getting hurt or being embarrassed.

It’s part of being human.

Whenever I find myself second guessing my dreams, feeling like a victim to my circumstances, this personal manifesto I’ve written a few years back, comes to my rescue.

Push through your fears. Find your own path. Express your unique brilliance through your work.[tweet this]

Today be brave.

Be patient with yourself.

Claim control over your life and business. Be deeply, wildly proud of your achievements. Stop pressuring yourself to be perfect.

Define success on your own terms. Stop selling yourself short. Never settle for less than you deserve.

Push through your fears. Find your own path. Express your unique brilliance through your work.

Invest your time wisely. Know your personal priorities. Give yourself permission to be incredibly happy. Cultivate healthy, loving, supportive relationships.

Turn your focus inward. Awaken your intuition. Trust your gut. Listen to your soul.
Believe in the greatness within you. Speak your truth.

Are you ready and willing to live you A Life?

The Inspired for Life Sessions,
will help you up your game and live your best life!

What are you waiting for?

Jump on this chance and Be Inspired for Life!

The road to success is paved with stumbling blocks of all kinds and sometimes the going gets tough and giving up or crawling back to the cosiness of your comfort zone, seems like a great idea.

It isn't.

Remember, you are so much more than your current circumstances.
So, give yourself some credit for everything you have already accomplished and keep going.

I'm here for you and I KNOW you are so much closer to living your dreams than you think.

Your best life awaits you on the other side of fear. Take the leap.

Make Today Count.

Wow. Talk about getting me "fired up"! :-)

Being brave is about focus, it's about doing even when you don't "feel" like doing. Thanks for this great reminder.

You are welcome Lisa!
Have a fantabulous day <3

I love your manifesto. My favorite part is, "Find your own path. Express your unique brilliance through your work." Also, "Define success on your own terms." So often we get caught up in doing it the way others say we should. Gotta do it our own way!

Thank you so much Leanne,

I have found that to be absolutely happy with your life you have to navigate it using your own coordinates, none else's will do.

Aha! Stop pressuring yourself to be perfect? That is soooo difficult for me. Great points - I'll take them on board today!

Sonja,

Being a recovering perfectionist myself I can totally understand how difficult it is, to push through your fears of not being perfect and just go for what makes your heart sing.

So, If I can do it, you can too. Go for it lady. You so deserve it.

Very inspiring!
This is a great reminder that usually the biggest thing that tends to stand between us and our full potential is ourselves. Thank you for this motivating piece!

Thank you Cathy for your insightful comment, I too believe that most of the time the only thing standing between us and our big goals, is in fact us!!!

This is one of my biggest problems, not taking risks because I'm afraid. Very inspiring, I will reflect on this and the next time opportunity knocks on my door I'm going to take that leap!

4/7/2014 11:47:54 pm

WhooHoo Krystal!

Now, that's the spirit, take the leap girl, you can do it. A few well calculated risks might get you closer to your goal, than you ever thought possible.

*sigh* I love how the universe puts in front of me EXACTLY what I need. This has come at the perfect time because I'm at a place where's it's time to look fear in the face and leap into the unknown. Thank you for your beautiful message Nichole! :)

Loving the reminders to keep going! I was just telling someone that I am not as far as I want to be but I have made myself happy with baby steps and choosing one thing a day to get me closer to my dreams. Progress is progress! :)

4/8/2014 04:55:46 am

Amen to that Camesha!
Baby steps ARE steps and yes, progress is progress.
You go girl!

Love this! It's important to remind ourselves every day to "Make Today Count." It's easy for me to get discouraged or frustrated (yucky negative thoughts, right?) I like the reminder of being brave and patient with yourself. We're not perfect and as long as we continue to keep the positive attitude as much as possible, we're doing our best. Thanks for the motivation!

4/8/2014 05:17:26 am

That's kind of my personal mantra "Make Today Count", cause it does. This is not a rehearsal, this, right here, this is your life. Make it count.
Big virtual hug <3

Great reminder to be brave everything. Something that I've been really working on, since I decided to become part owner of gallery in the hopes of being able to leave my full time job.

Way to go Amber!

I am so stoked for you and your big, brave step towards your dream.
Wishing you all the best <3

I love this post. I think everyone has something they fear. I fear failure...perfectionist all the way. But pushing through that fear has given me some of the most awesome things in my life.

4/10/2014 09:56:52 pm

That is so good to hear Emma. I am a perfectionist in recovery too and I can relate to the feeling. Keep on keeping on girl!

"Know your personal priorities" THAT's a biggie for me! I can get sidetracked so so easily. Being BRAVE today! Thanks.

4/10/2014 09:58:45 pm

Setting personal priorities can be tricky. Sticking to them, well, that's a mother story. Never give up though, you are so worth, living the life of your dreams. Be brave today!

I love your manifesto - and just what I needed to read today. I've been brave! Thank you.

So good to know Zoe!
Have a beautiful day girl.

Love this! Defining success on my own terms can be a struggle sometimes, so thanks for the gentle reminder!

You are welcome Stacey.
Sometimes I think that's the main reason I blog. To remind myself and maybe a few others of what's important. So glad it resonated with you.
