I Get It. Life Is Busy!
As a woman and a mother I totally get it. I know it’s not easy to run a household, be a great wife, a loving mother, a present friend, a helpful daughter. Add in trying to build a thriving business or grow your career and it just seems practically impossible to get it all done! It often feels like there simply aren’t enough hours in the day, or enough cute chic outfits to wear for each role we play! Ok, who am I kidding, there are always enough outfits! Ha-ha.
But outfits aside, despite the hectic pace of life you still feel that desire. That dream of “What if”. The feeling deep inside your gut that tells you, “This can work. I know it can.” It might feel stronger some days and a little bit weaker others, but it’s there.
There Is Always A Reason To Say No
I read a quote recently from Oprah Winfrey and it kind of just stuck with me. It said, “ You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” Even typing that gives me the chills because it’s so freaking true!!
How many times do we say things like, “I need to have a little more money”, or “I’m just too busy now to start”, or “Well, there are so many other people doing it now, I couldn’t possibly make a difference or be as successful as them”. The truth is, none of that is true! It’s a trick being played on us by our minds. Our FEAR is getting the best of us.
What Might Happen If You Say Yes?
What I have realized now more than ever, is that life is short. And precious. And none of us, not me and not you, have time to waste. If you have a dream, or a goal, or a wish, the time is now! There will always be a million reasons why not, but none of them can out weigh the greatest reason why… because deep down you really want to do it.
Think about this. What if you succeed? Or even exceed your wildest dreams? By saying YES today, what if your life changes for the better forever? Imagine for a minute what that might feel like. Pretty amazing right? The other choice is to just continue on, doing things as you typically would and while that might be fine, you have no idea what you might be missing out on. After all, you don’t know how far you can go, until you actually go!
I can speak from experience, I don’t for one second regret saying YES and taking a chance. I feel happier, lighter and more enthusiastic than ever. My sparkle is BRIGHT and I would love to see other women shine the same way!!
Is there something you have been dreaming about doing or trying that you haven’t yet? Share with me what you have been thinking about, I would love to hear all about it! Or do you have an experience where your life changed for the better because you went for it? I would love to hear it!
And remember ladies, you’re not fully dressed until you sparkle!
