We’ve all heard it again and again – ‘what would you do if you knew you could not fail?’
Why do we think that we are not enough? If someone else did it, guess what - you can do it too ! I knowww, this statement is too cliché for your Thursday morning. However, sorry to break it to you Jan, it is something you needed to hear. YOU CAN DO IT TOO !
As someone who used to overthink basically every aspect of life, it was extremely hard trying to break this cycle, because at the end of the day it prevented me from ‘living my best life’. Literally all of my moves were calculated, and in many cases, I still ended up making the wrong choice and always asked myself ‘what would have happened if I did this instead of that?’
This blog has been a few years in the making and though it had been on my vision board, there was always something stopping me from launching it. It was ME. I was my biggest enemy. I wondered whether people would even read my content, if I could even come up with relatable content and whether I had the balls to write one post and share it with the world. Though A LOT of planning has gone into this blog, one thing I know for sure is that I did not overanalyse anything about it. I planned but kept an open mind to hurdles and well, as they say, ‘the rest is history’
“If you never ask, the answer will always be no”
Many of us have brilliant ideas, phenomenal stories to tell, and lives to touch, yet we are all stuck in an abyss of doubt and ‘what ifs’ that seem so powerful that we can’t break free.
If you are an overthinker I want to share some words from my favourite speaker, Lisa Nichols with you:
“Fear is just a story that you’ve told yourself about something that might happen in the future. That you have zero evidence that it will happen but its causing a visceral effect…”
“How would the world benefit because of who you’ve decided to be. How would the world be a better place to live because fear didn’t have you standing on the edge?”
Don’t let fear be in the driver’s seat of your life.
Whether it is starting a blog, applying for your dream job, taking the leap in your love life or any other ‘BIG’ decision, GO FOR IT
Extra sparkle alert :
