Monday Mood: Reminders


The key to your future is on the table, grab it up. 

Don't let fear of something new stand in your way, at one time crawling across the floor was something frighteningly new, you survived that, you will survive this. 

When I left behind my first career, and moved forward into uncertainty, Sweet Bear gave me a card that simply said, "Jump and the Net Will Appear." It was on the wall over my desk at home for years, it reminded me to go boldly into the future. 

Be bold. You are Brave. You are Strong. You can Do This. 

The wrinkles, grey hairs, and scars are the proof a life lived. Be proud of them, be glad that you lived long enough to see them. 

Breathe deeply, inhale the essence of life. 

Thank the world that you have this day.

  1. Good advice. I have always said that a new fear will eventually become a piece of your familiar woven life quilt.

  4. Most people don't like, and cannot handle, change. But when you think of the alternative, living a life where nothing changes? I vote change.
    Take a leap.

  5. I like that saying..."Jump and The Net Will Appear". Your partner is not just a wicked hamster but he is wise one too.
