It seems as if we are constantly bombarded by images and people telling us who we should be, what we should look like and think, what decisions we should be making, what actions we should take. It's hard not to feel like a pebble being tossed and scraped by the tumultuous ocean floor, carried along with little say as to our own wills or desires.
I have to fight the urge to listen to my doubters who try to place limits on my dreams and capabilities. They aren't saying these things out of malice, but rather, they think they are protecting me or think they know what is best for me. But who would know that better than I do? And how will I ever really know my limits if I don't test them?
This is your life. You only get this one chance- and it's yours for the taking. Go ahead, make mistakes. Learn something new. Let yourself be silly or weird or outright ridiculous! Own your decisions and be the independent, adventurous, genuine author of your story.
