$\"daretobegin\"$ <\/a> We are almost into the third month of the year and I wonder how many have reviewed their goals for 2016 and have either hid their eyes to pretend they even made them or tossed them in the garbage and said, \u201cMaybe next year\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is a Chinese Proverb that says \u201cTo get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping\u201d. Those first steps can be frightening and confusing especially if you aren\u2019t sure which direction to go. It is so much easier to bury ourselves in self loathing and excuses, but is far from attractive.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

How many times have you discovered that you weren\u2019t given the promotion that you believed you so well deserved or the so-called love of your life dumped you and instead of thinking that a door closed and another (and better one) will soon open, you pouted, stomped up and down, swore, and pretty much allowed the bitterness to envelope your soul? I think we\u2019ve all gone through something similar, but I want to remind you that as soon as you let go of the anger of the situation, new blessings begin to shine through. So in essence, you are sabotaging the very thing that you want. You are building the walls that block your journey. Your true journey.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re upset and think that life stinks, I dare you to begin your journey. Throw off the blankets, put some nice clothes on, dry your tears and take one step at a time. Before you know it, the right doors (and people and situations) will present themselves and you will wonder what all the fuss was about!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Believe,
\nKristy
