Passion

I know that fears can be extremely difficult at times and effect our lives greatly.  I can name numerous, I'm sure millions of occasions where I didn't do anything at all because I feared the outcome.  The fear of the end result of what I wanted to do, not working out; or the fear of failure.

What did that end up accomplishing?  NOTHING.  It caused me to not live the life I wanted.  I have realized a lot over the past several years.  One thing I truly believe is, the only thing that is holding you back is yourself.  I'm not saying to criticize or belittle yourself.  I'm saying to believe you can do it and slowing work towards the life you want by taking even small steps.

For me, it's waking up, thinking about where I want to be 10 years from now.  Taking that knowledge of what I need to get done today; even if it's just painting or drawing for 5 minutes because that is all of the time that I have, and putting the effort in towards my dreams.  Just remember, a day at a time, you can do this.
