YOUR COURAGE MUST BE STRONGER THAN YOUR FEAR

The closer you get to the dream you’ve been working towards, the more intense the self doubt becomes.

In full transparency, this has been a tough couple of weeks for me. As I prepared for my first TV appearance, the bully in my head (aka ego) started to take hold. The thoughts were persistent and loud as they tried to convince me that I was safer to remain hiding like I have been for 37 years. My anxiety increased as I prepared to be seen. Candidly, I was thinking of all the ways I could turn back. Then when I couldn't sleep on Tuesday night I reminded myself that my real narrative and life’s journey has been one of courage. I’ve actually never been defeated by fear or any circumstance that has tried to stand in my way. I’ve always faced it head on and this will be no different.

As I walked onto the TV set, I realized that this interview was not only a dream brought to fruition but a personal breakthrough. There’s no going back - I have and will always keep moving forward. If you had told me this would happen even two months ago - I wouldn’t have believed you.

This is my reminder to you to keep going. Know when your ego is trying to hold you back and have the courage to keep going. And don’t undervalue the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. The rest of the path will appear as you need it to.
