How much are you challenging yourself? Are we all trying to level up?
I know that I am.
There are many people who are afraid of change. Many who are stuck in the : THIS IS ME. I’M ME. THIS IS HOW I DO THINGS, IT’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
This was me. At one point in my life, compromise didn't exist. Things went my way or the highway. And I'm not talking only relationships, I'm talking my thought process, the way I would go about doing my work and improving my career, the way I would exercise. I didn't want to change a thing. Until one day I was asked in a rude way : How do you expect to gain something new Tricia if you never challenge yourself? If you never try new ways of doing things to better yourself, and if you never take a risk? You're going to be stuck in the same place. Something has gotta change. You want to know where the question came from??? It came from within. I slapped my own self in the face. The reason why is because I kept on complaining, and complaining about things not changing, and not realizing why. Then the revelation hit me very hard.
Do you know how much I learned from challenging myself?
I personally was afraid of challenges before. I hated when things got hard. I’d run, or I’d avoid doing something. These fears still come from time to time, but I have to keep reminding myself that my course is not over, and I still have to run this race.
WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE: We’ve All been hurt
I’ve been Hurt. You’ve been hurt and some of our friends are going through heartbreak as we speak. However that is no reason to not take a leap of faith when it comes to a potential significant other. Being cautious, will not prevent heartbreak. That's just life. We all have tasted the sourness of pain. If you stay guarded with anything in your life, especially a lover, it's possible you’ll block blessings and your potential soul mate.
There’s a blessing waiting for us every single day. The key to activating it is to understand that fear will keep you away from everything blissful.
Your greatest fear is most likely your greatest growth. Eventually you’ll grow apart from people who aren’t moving forward. Your friends who are doing the same old thing, every weekend, every month, every year... you'll out grow them if you are determined to promote your life to a higher level.
Great things don’t come from comfort zones. Get out there and challenge yourself in every way possible. Whether it be a new relationship, a new job, a new way of exercising... anything! There is so much out there to discover, it's up to you to start that journey.
