What you focus on, you create more of. That’s a powerful statement but think about it. If you are constantly focused on the negative aspects of your life or whatever it is you have going on, you don’t leave any room for growth. You block out all the room reserved for gratitude and positive manifestation. Do you really think you can manifest the life of your dreams if all you focus on is why your life seems like a constant shit-show? I’ll give you a hint, the answer if a very loud NO!

I decided to go with two blog posts in one day because I do what I want. So here we go! Why do we torture ourselves by comparing ourselves to others? Why do we tend to listen to what society says we must do? In other words, have that perfect job, find the perfect spouse, have 2.5 perfect kids, have a set amount of money by a certain age. Sounds fantastic but whose rules are those? And why oh why are we judged so harshly if we don’t have all those boxes checked by a certain age or timeline? Who are we to judge anyone’s life?

It’s been a been awhile since I wrote something for this blog, and I knew that I would have some doubts about doing this whole thing. It’s not an issue of not knowing what to write about. I have plenty of information and stories in my head to probably write a short book, maybe I will. It’s the thoughts in my head that pop up trying to pull me back down and unfortunately, I sometimes give in to them. We are not our thoughts, they are fleeting. They come and go like a wrecking ball and if you’re not in a good mindset, they can destroy the dreams and momentum you have built up. So how does one let go of those thoughts and move the fuck on?

I want to talk a little bit about fear in today’s post. We all have it, it’s part of our human nature but sometimes fear is the killer of dreams. Fear likes to protect us. It is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. So, when fear arises, we tend to retreat into our shells, so we don’t get hurt. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel protected and avoid unnecessary pain, but it becomes an issue when it keeps you from your dreams. How many of you out there have wanted to change your life?

Welcome to my first entry of my blog. I titled it C for Courage because I can’t tell you how long I’ve delayed getting this out. E is for Excuses. That was me….I don’t know how to design this website, no one is going to read it, my friends are going to judge me. You name it, I named it an excuse. I’ve been listening to a lot of Mel Robbins podcast, if you don’t know who she is, do yourself a HUGE favor and go check her out. She has been my life coach that I’ve never met but respect immensely.
