Keep Saying It
Have you ever been told....
"You are so ugly."
"You don't have what it takes."
"You will never be successful so why try?"
If someone close to you told you that, then most likely you wouldn't want to spend much time with them, right? Well duh...but what if that someone is YOU?
I've heard we only accept the love we think we deserve.. but what about the hate? Why do we accept THIS HATE from ourselves?
There are many times in my life where I can remember vividly accepting this hate and playing the same story in my head.
I would justify this because taking action would be "even harder"...."so stay put, Sarah, it's easier than the confrontation."
That relationship you couldn't get out of.
That job that sucked your soul.
That dream you kept pushing down.
These are all moments of hope squashed by fear.
I can FEEL it to this day, the decision to make a new path is SO FREAKING SCARY and seems even HARDER than just staying quiet and alone in your misery....but I'm here to tell you, it's NOT.
Fear has a funny way of convincing you that if you just stay the same then nothing "worse" will happen.
How crappy is that?!?!
YEA, it sucks to go through a breakup, and it sucks to leave a secure job and it sucks to be a beginner in a new venture....
But what sucks more is NEVER getting to the other side.
The other side for me:
Meeting Eddie and marrying him.
Quitting my gym job to have new opportunities.
Making my dreams ACTUALLY happen through Online Coaching.
Trust me when I say this, the other side IS WORTH IT. I catch myself overwhelmed by GRATITUDE and just a few years ago I was overwhelmed by DREAD.
So take the leap. Stop letting fear guide you down the SAME PATH, that you know is going to end up EXACTLY the same place you started.
And what is that next road for you? Well ask yourself ... "Is this decision an act of love or an act of hate towards myself?"
Stop doubting what could be the BEST plot twist in your life. Be the rebel. Break societies rules & live life louder. Start to believe you are meant for more by saying it, EVERY DAY until that hateful voice is no longer your guide. "I believe in me." KEEP SAYING IT
