First of all I have to tell you something that just made me really happy. I just watched the season premiere of Game of Thrones and loved it!!! But it also got me thinking about fear. I would love to have a dragon of my own to ride and then I thought people would think that was stupid. Would I care though and the answer would be NO because I would have a freaking dragon. It is strange how my mind works but just stay with me and I promise this will make sense. Why do I, and maybe you, worry about the anonymous people that you don’t know that sit in judgement of your dream and why do any of us care. I have struggled with that my whole life, always being afraid of what “people” will think and then not doing what I wanted to do out of that fear of judgement. I have realized that those anonymous people aren’t even thinking about what you’re doing as much as you think they are. Truthfully everyone has their own stuff to deal with and they don’t care what you or I was doing. That realization took me a long time to understand. Now when it’s your friends who are judging you or holding you back then that means they aren’t your friend. What kind of friend wouldn’t want the best for someone they claim to care about. If it’s family that is judging you that makes it harder to deal with and they may be doing it out of their fear of change. It is no excuse but everyone fears change in one way or another and that’s when you have to just make the decision and plow right on through.

Here is what I’ve learned, do not let fear hold you back from your dream. You have to try no matter what. I was really afraid to start this blog and I put it off for a long time. I was afraid because I knew it would take time for me to learn how to make my website look good and I didn’t want everyone to think how much it sucks. I want everyone to see and hopefully think that what I write and put on my site is awesome. So I just thought to myself just get over it and start writing. Now I am hopefully creating a place where everyone can come and be themselves and maybe we can all learn from each other. That is my dream. So if I have one thing that I hope you take away from this post is never, never let fear of judgement or fear of following your dream stop you. The world needs me and you living our best life. I’m trying to do that and I hope you are to.

Have a great Monday and I’ll be back soon.
