{I wrote this in a scrapbook awhile back & anytime I need a little reminder of why I am where I am today, I read this. I'm reminded of the chances I took & the times I put my whole self out there because I didn't want to look back one day & regret not taking that leap or being in that moment & not saying what I really wanted to say.}
If you haven't met me or truly gotten to know me, then you might not know this--I'm the most scared person there is. I hate leaving the comforts of home & exploring somewhere new. Somewhere where I don't know anyone & I'm forced to come out of my shell & speak. Literally, I get the shakes anytime I'm somewhere new.
I guess why I'm telling you all this is because I don't want any of you to be afraid to take that leap. To jump into the unknown & dive into something radical.
Something completely unexpected but insanely awesome. YOU are meant for greatness.
I may not know every single one of my readers by name or their back story, but I do know this--You are made for something BIG. Something that will at times, knock you to your feet because what God has planned for you will be beyond what you can imagine. But trust me, It'll be worth it. &&, years later you will look back & you'll be thankful you took that chance & didn't just sit in your room & watch the world pass you by.
THAT is why I'm taking my chance. I don't want to look back years from now & wonder, "what if?" --I want to expand my horizons & explore this crazy world God created. I want to work & do something every single day that I ENJOY & love.
Every day that passes I get more & more excited about September coming. I'm ready. I'm ready for it all.
I'm ready to see my world change.
I have this canvas on my wall I made about a month ago & it says,
"I am made for something BIGGER." --I am. & I know that now.
Yes, I'm a bit scared of leaving the comfort of home, because who wouldn't be?
But, I know this is a chance I NEED to take.
I need to leave.
I need to start a whole new book in my life story.
Take that moment in your hands & speak your mind. You'll regret the "What if" more than you would if you put yourself out there & got shot down.
It's a chance worth taking.
.the writer.
