Stop ....

It's Monday evening and I'm just sitting, trying to think about what I want to say on this blog post. Trouble is, I'm not feeling inspired!! Of course, then I start to feel like I "have" to have the right words, that negative voice saying I'm not good enough if I can't find the right words to write.

And then I said to myself, "stop, it's ok if the blog post isn't perfect because it just has to be real and authentic". I write a lot about trusting oneself, leaps of faith, believing, and more ... but what use is writing about it if I forget that it applies to me too?!!!

What is it that stops us from feeling like we can be authentic, no matter what that looks like? Why do we place that pressure on ourselves to be perfect at all times - me included!!! The reality is that I'm human and the only person that is perfect is the Big Guy Himself. I can't possibly come close to being perfect and nor do I need to be. I just have to be real and myself, whatever that looks like in the moment.

And so today I DARE you to be real and authentic. Why not share on this post and comment how you're really doing? Take a risk and let the world, well ok ... the few readers that check in .... how you are today? We'd love to know!!!

It's scary being real, vulnerable, and honest. But you know what, it's also invigorating and refreshing to just say it how it is. And if you've read this far, I truly do DARE you to try it!!
