All of those are valid fears but unfortunately you are the only one holding you back.
Failure brings profound growth because your first attempt is rarely the best you have to offer.
Success is scary at first because you are getting out of your comfort zone but there isn’t any growth inside your comfort zone.
Other people’s opinions are none of your business. Stop caring what people will think.
Do you and do it with passion, conviction and then let your success continue to propel you forward, not other people’s opinions. There isn’t a single successful person that got to where they are without fear.
The difference is, are you going to let fear stand in your way or are you going to let it propel you forward?

It wasn’t about how long you spent doing these things or who you were with in particular, it was just the simplicity of having fun and enjoying the day. Doing something fun!
I remember doing special things with my parents, siblings, grandparents and neighbors throughout my childhood. We could be working in the garden or chopping wood in the neighbors pasture, it didn’t matter, we were together and we made it fun. Such simple things that didn’t cost a dime were so much fun. Yes, we worked hard most days but we also played just as hard.
What I have come to realize as I experience being a mother of 4 beautiful children is that it is a million little things that matter. It is the hugs, the smiles, the I am proud of you and most importantly the simple words I love you that make the biggest impact.
Do you appreciate the million little things?
The smiles, the giggles, and the time spent together with family and friends. Do you recognize those little things?
In our busy lives we sometimes forget that we are not the only ones giving a million little things to everyone around us. If we look deeper and with more patience we can see the million little things others do for us as well.
The opportunity to comfort others during challenging times – a million little things.
The endless hours of giggles and chatting with a group of friends – a million little things.
There is nothing better than this because each moment is made up of a million little things!
I have come to realize that a million little things has turned into a million very important things that I never took the time to see.
If I started making a list, I am pretty sure I would never stop because I think the list becomes endless once you start. Bless others with a million little things, recognize and appreciate the million little things others do for you.
I hope you take the time to count your million little things!
