I wish I had gotten the mohawk.

Confession, Blogger: When I was in junior high, I desperately wanted a mohawk. Like a shave-the-sides-of-my-head-and-dye-my-hair-blue kind of mohawk. And it felt like such a MASSIVE decision. My mom's boyfriend at the time, a counterculture rebel at heart, was all for it. "Honestly, you're just going to look back on junior high and it will feel like a small blip in your life!" He was right. But at the time, I couldn't stop thinking about what other people would think. What would my friends at school say? What about my classmates? My teachers? The fear of being judged and rejected completely took over. So I never did it. I'm not alone in letting fear drive at one point in time in my life, am I, Blogger? Is there something that you've been dying to do, but you haven't, because you're afraid of what people will think? Maybe it's a project you've held yourself back from working on. Or maybe someone you've wanted to connect with, but haven't. Or maybe it's even launching your business to begin with. Whatever your "Thing" is, the fear probably feels engulfing, doesn't it? Like if you do The Thing that scares you, you might lose everything you've built. But here's what I can tell you: I wish I would've gotten the damn mohawk. I know that right now, when you think about doing The Thing (a.k.a. That project you desperately want to work on, but keep resisting because you're scared), your fear may be screaming, "Don't do it! What if people reject you?!" But years from now, do you really want to look back on this moment in your life and wish you'd taken a chance? The longer you live in fear, Blogger?, the longer you live in a way that's smaller than what you're created for. But here's the good news — you actually DON'T have to stay stuck here. You can ditch the doubt and step into a more confident and bold version of you… and I'm making it my personal mission to help you do just that, because when I decided to do this in my life, limitless opportunities arose. So, I'm hosting a free, 5-day Create with Confidence Challenge starting May 25th to help you take aligned action toward your dreams. Holla! It's time to do The Thing you've been feeling called to do — and I'm going to be with you every step of the way to help you overcome those fears and take action.
