you can, it just sometimes takes more than once—and a fresh look!

We go through life afraid to take "that chance", but why live in the "dream of defeat" instead of the inspiration of possibilities?!

It's important we vary our expectations with each goal we have in mind. Instant success in our "microwave-have-it-now-society" is a natural by-product of the day we live in. However it can cause unrealistic expectations to form in our minds, which in turn can lead to ideas of defeat and sadness. There's enough we can't control in life, which makes it even more important we don't hijack our well being by creating a mindset of unrealistic goals.

Remember, moving forward is more important than standing in paralyzed fear. Don't give power over to others or your "ego" by adhering to their expectations. Keep the goal in mind, adjust your thinking as necessary and give yourself a chance to grow.

much love and best wishes,
-TJ
