Pushing Fear Aside

Hi guys!  I mentioned in my last post that I wanted to start branching out and start including some lifestyle videos.  So,  today, I thought I would write about something that I struggled with for a long time,  and how I've decided to overcome it.  Enjoy!

In life,  there is one thing that holds us all back; one common thing that keeps us from chasing after our dreams,  FEAR.
As a young girl,  I was afraid; afraid of everything. Even crossing the monkey bars seemed impossible to me.  I had no idea how much fun I was missing out on because I let my fear control me.
A few months ago,  I made some major changes in my life.  Alongside of losing weight,  I decided I wanted to be adventurous.  I had always been known as the girl who took a back seat because she was afraid of trying new things.  I didn't want to be that girl anymore.  I want to be as adventurous and fear free as I can possibly be.  I want to reach higher and harder for my goals,  and keep chasing them until I meet them; and once I meet them,  I'll make even harder goals.  Stepping out of your comfort zone is unnatural.  It's not something that seems logical at first,  but once you do it,  you'll surpass any expectations you've ever had for yourself.  If you stay in a safe zone forever,  you'll never know what amazing things ly ahead.  So,  wake up each morning,  make goals,  reach for them harder than you ever have,  push your fear aside,  and step out of your comfort zone!

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I'm back!

Hey guys!  Wow, where to begin?  I took some time off due to personal reasons.... There have been big changes in my life the past few months!  Anyways,  I am back now and so excited to be blogging again.  If you'll notice,  I have given my blog a bit of a face lift.  If anyone has any advice on how to improve my blog further,  please let me know!  Also,  is there anything in particular you'd like to see?  I want to branch out a bit and include some DIY posts as well as just some random life updates,  and other lifestyle posts.  I am unsure of what schedule I will be using now that I am back.  I plan on just kind of feeling it out and seeing what might work best for me.  Once I know of a set schedule I'll be sticking to,  I will let you guys know!  I'm so glad to be back in the swing of things!  Thank you all for continuing to support my blog!  Expect another post from me Wednesday :)  thanks guys!
