Week One – Nope
Nope.
This is the mood of my week, just one big, nope.
Life has been so beautiful lately—it fueled my motivation to lean into my passion and launch my blog.
I felt safe in my place inside this universe and I wanted to explore and learn.
Since making this choice and taking dedicated action, my goodness, have things gone wild! Does that happen to everyone? You make a decision, take action, everything seems to be going well—then, right as you think, "Yes, I am doing this for real, for real," BOOM. Chaos.
I won’t go into details as they aren’t important and honestly, I feel a little silly explaining it all when you string everything together. It’s just a wild story with too many plot twists. To those I have told the story to however, I have always finished it saying the same thing–if these are the challenges I am being faced with, then I am living a pretty good life.
I see this as a sign. I am in the right place, and I am on the right path. I’ve heard the saying so many times: "Growth lies outside your comfort zone." Funny how I forget that it actually applies to me too…
So I guess I’m now on a journey of lessons, and I wonder where I will end up. Will I be going where I think (and hope) I am, or am I heading to a destination unknown? This is something we’ll discover together. I am not a "suffer in silence" kinda gal.
If you’ve also been feeling challenged lately and aren’t quite sure what the heck is going on— It’s okay. Me too, sis.
Every challenge presents an opportunity for choices and growth. I have the choice to fall back into my safety net—everything was going so well, and I want to feel that again. But that won’t actually get me where I want to be. I enjoy growth. I enjoy the accomplished feeling of overcoming a challenge.
I look forward to overcoming these challenges, and do you want to know why? Because they keep coming back. I keep facing the same one. Now, it’s like a game of who’s going to win this round? And I wasn’t raised to be a quitter.
Drop a like or an 🤍 in the comments if you’re also feeling a little challenged lately—so I won’t feel so alone!
