The past few years I have been setting myself goals and when you set goals, you find yourself stepping out of your comfort zone.

I don’t know about you but stepping out of your comfort zone takes courage, it takes a yes moment and you may be doing it with some nervous energy.

You maybe doing it with quite a lot of nervous energy.

It is saying yes to new things when you really just want to stay home and hide under the covers.

I think that growth happens in the moment of the inbetween, that decision of the goal and then reaching the goal.

I describe myself like a duck on the outside, people will see me gliding across the water without making a ripple, but don’t let that fool you, I am paddling for my life underneath.

Goals are scary because it is places we have never experienced before and stepping into those places is where you learn so much about who you are.

It is stepping into the unknown.

How do we do this without shrinking back and not believing in what we are capable of?

To be honest, it begins with a yes.

Yes, I will commit to this goal, yes I wll talk to others that can support and encourage me in working towards the goal.

Shrinking back and playing small is what I have done for most of my life, especially being a people pleaser (I am still working on this).

We all have a dream, a goal, a desire in our hearts.

It may be buried at the moment, but the joy is in discovering the hidden dream.

Take that dance class you have been thinking about doing, go to an art class, try something just for fun.

You never know what will happen.

This week, decide on one thing that you would like to do that you have been thinking about.  Then say yes and see what happens.

I am cheering you on and you have got this.

I will share more soon.
