FEAR

So I am a new a dedicated fan of Justin & Mary-Photography. If you have never heard of them or gone to their website, I suggest you do. Even if photography isn't your thing, their website is incredibly inspirational on all levels and subject matters. They definitely support following your dream and never giving up.

So Kevin and I are in a slump. Not with each other, but with just where things are in our lives. Which is ironic because in about four months exactly, we will be getting MARRIED. I am beyond thrilled for that moment in our lives but to be honest, otherwise, we are in a slump. We desperately want to move forward with our lives but feel an overwhelming sense of frustration on not being able to move forward.

So I read Justin & Mary's website and was instantly inspired. Man, are they good at it! So read this:

1. Who sacrificed for you? Who gave up something in their own lives so that you could one day have more? And when you settle, when you play small, what does that do to honor that sacrifice? And...

2. Who are you setting an example for? Who is looking to you to pave the way and show by your actions what they are capable of doing in their own lives? (I'm talking to you moms & dads out there!)

 So think about those 2 questions and ask yourself: are you settling, instead of taking a leap of faith? I know I often don't take enough risks and I often find myself looking back at times when I have made mistakes, instead of remembering the times I took leaps of faith and everything turned out wonderfully (ie: being scared of relationship failure and by staring into fear and saying "NOT THIS TIME," meeting the love of my life). So my goal for the next four months leading up to our wedding, is to face fear head on and say, "NOT THIS TIME." Let's see where this journey takes us and know that we will rise above this slump, Kev, we will tell the world, we are capable of so much more!!
