Be Brave

What a statement! Those are the words that best describe my last couple of years.  I've grown leaps and bounds.  I feel more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have and I'm not afraid anymore.  I am not afraid to take risks, I am not afraid of not pleasing everyone along the way(well mostly), I am not afraid to say how I feel, I am not afraid to be myself even if it means venturing outside the box.  I am just not afraid of things that have kept me from reaching my max potential self.  I am far from perfect but I am sure loving myself.  I am loving my 30s, and not that I didn't love my years before bc believe me I most certainly did! Then, why do I share?  It took me a while to get here and I know I am not the only one. So maybe you can relate to my honesty.

• So what I am saying…. "BE BRAVE" and "BE YOU"!! 
• Don't waste time sweating the small stuff.  At the end of the day you are the only one stuck with that small stuff in your head.  
• Go out and do things that take you outside your comfort zone!! NOW! 
• …..But don't give up easily if it's not going well! 
• Don't look back on what could have been.  Not even for a second. 
• If you feel rejected, react with grace. 
• Push for the best! 
• Don't settle for mediocre because you are far from it! 
• Love yourself FIRST, even all your imperfections. 
• If someone doesn't think you're awesome,  don't fight to prove them wrong because you know you are!  
• Honesty is the best policy! Be honest with yourself and your feelings. 
• "If you can't find the sunshine, be the sunshine" 

Here is the thing, I will have bumps….plenty of them….but I will get back up and I will be BRAVE!  Be brave with me! Be YOU!
