Are you living a BRAVE life? Might seem like an easy question to answer but hold off just a minute. Really sit back and think about your life, your goals, your dreams and your relationships.
NOW are you living a brave life?? Or are you too scared of disappointing others to be your true self. It took me MANY years.... like 30 years... FOR REALS Y'ALL!!!... to finally get to a place where I was OK with who I was and I was ready to live authentically as who I wanted to be. I was always scared of upsetting family and going against the grain of who they WANTED me to be or who they THOUGHT I should be. The last 8 years of living my life for me have been the most liberating and I have truly learned the most about myself. Was it hard?? YES!! Was it easy?? NOPE!! Did I lose some relationships with friends and family?? I sure did. But... I learned a lot about the people around me also. Those who stuck around truly wanted what was best for me, They supported me in being the best me I could be and accepted me unconditionally. And THAT meant the world to me. Some finally came around, after some time. I hope it's because they were able to see how truly happy I was and that the choices I made were actually good ones. I hope that my ability to make the decision to live my life for me inspired some of them to do the same. To not give in to the pressure to conform-- instead to be true to who you are and what you WANT and NEED in life. To DEMAND the ability to define that for yourself. Disappointment from other will happen regardless of the choices you make. There is no way to make everyone happy. Remember its NOT THEIR LIFE---- ITS YOURS! Don't waste it living for others. So---- are you ready to start living your life for you??? Not sure where to start?? If so--- let's chat!!
