I was doing something new today. Something that is a meaningful step towards my 5 year plan, towards my life's mission. I WAS terrified that it would not work. I wanted to call it off, to stop it. It was the fear speaking to me. The funny thing though, it was not just the fear of failure. It was the fear of not being good enough. When I analysed ‘the why’ of my fears, it came down to people would not like what I was doing. But somewhere deep inside I know that translates into people not liking me. It is amazing that after 47 years on this beautiful earth that this still matters. This is probably one of the main reasons that I have avoided social media. I really did not want to be subjected to the likes and dislikes of others. But, this day..I am moving past all that..or at least I will intentionally give it a good try. From now on, I am keeping confidence as my friend and cheerleader by my side. Confidence is knowing that even when your ideas, your thoughts, and even if you are rejected by others, you are still one hundred percent enough. Rejection is not about you, but about the other people. When you are doing something new or taking a leap of faith, have the confidence in your vision, in your drive and in your purpose. The execution, the value to others will come, stay determined, and remember that you are always enough.

You are so amazing, I can't picture someone disliking you, and if they do, a friend once told me it was more because of what they lack that what you lack. So keep being your beautiful self!
