It takes courage

Happy 2020! Wow, here we are. Remember thinking about this new decade years and years ago? It is always a great time to reflect on time passed and now that we hit a new decade, what have we done these last 10 years?! Did you accomplish some goals you had set for yourself?

Courage has been on my mind a lot these last few months. It has always been a piece of my intention I set for myself, “ I intend to have courage, show love and choose joy.” Some days are better than others and I always come back to repeating my intention, especially on the hard days.

My last 10 years, has gone something like this… receiving my degree, getting engaged, the ending of my engagement, a lot of moving cities and homes, new jobs, new friends, boyfriends, businesses, animals, solo travels, travels with friends and experiences with strangers! So. Much. Courage.

We all need to find the strength inside us to move on when when life isn’t serving us the way we deserve and to find the courage to go forward with no certain future ahead, but to trust ourselves and know we will be okay. We are amazing creatures and incredibly capable of accomplishing what we put our mind to. Our potential as humans just baffles my mind, the things we can do! whew! Is it those that have more courage, those that are more successful? Not sure, but in my experience with courage, even though hard at first sometimes and possibly bringing me to my knees, I always come out ahead and happier that I took my life into my own hands.

Trust yourself! Your ability to change what you don’t like, your ability to have the days ahead you dream about. We all have courage inside us, let it out and feel the empowerment and vulnerability that comes with it.

Borrow my intention and work on building one for yourself that speaks to you.

“I intend to have courage, show love and choose joy.”

Ciao for now,
