What are some things you are not doing because you are afraid? Think about the things you really want to do in life, but too scared to do it. Why?

"Because I am not pretty enough!"

"Because I am too shy!"

"Because I am just not good enough"

"Because I am too old"

"Because I am not smart enough"

These are just a few things that may go through your head when thinking about life. I know I have had some thoughts that prevent me from moving forward.

Example: I want to be a makeup artist someday. You can't magically be one. You must push yourself, do new things, and grow. However, I am letting fear control me and not growing.

I want to encourage any of you to let go of the fear and live the life you want to live. If you don't, you will not be happy. Contentment is not always the best. Being content with what you have is okay, but be content with your life can be hard.

In order to learn more, grow more, and be more, we must take that first scary step.

I want to take that step.

Have you? Share your story on how you did not let fear control your life. :)
