Be Brave

I was driving the other day. I do some of my best thinking while driving! I was thinking about my mom. She passed away in 2013. She had a tough go at life. She lost her first love at 19 in an accident. She suffered from depression and addiction for most of her adult life. She raised 3 kids as a single mom. I feel like she played small and let limiting beliefs hold her back. Especially later in life, after she got sober and retired. I think there was more she wanted to do with her life. I was thinking about how I am over 50 now, so I’m in the last half of my life. I felt like my mom didn’t really find her passion in her later years. She didn’t really continue to grow or live her life. I realize now that whatever I want to do or achieve I can do that. I just need to be brave and do that dam thing! You might be thinking ya’ right. I want to encourage you right now to take a moment and sit with this idea.

The other thought that I had was this: I want to set an example for my kids and my grandkids and my kids-in-law. That you don’t have to settle for whatever box you are in. Whatever space you are in life right now. You can step out at any time and say to yourself; I’m going to make a change here. I’m going to do something different. I’m going to BE BRAVE. More than anything, I want to do this for myself and I want this for you too. I also want this for my kids. I don’t want them to look back on the last half of my life and see that I didn’t chase every last bit of life and what it has for me. I want to be hungry and thirsty for those dreams and desires. I really want them to know that they can chase after the life they want.

No matter where you came from, no matter what has happened to you. no matter where you are in life, you can accomplish new and exciting things! You can crush goals. You can take baby steps and then baby crawls, walks, and runs to where it is you want to go or how it is you want to live your life. We let fear and anxiety paralyze us from even taking that first step. Take that first step. Start by dreaming and scheming and wondering out loud or on paper or to your best friend or to me about what it is you want to do in this life. Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? What sets your soul on fire? What makes you feel alive!? What example do you want to set for your kids and grandkids, and friends? What legacy do you want to leave behind?
