"I was the shyest human ever invented, 

but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up!"

~Ingrid Bergman

Coming out of your shell is sometimes the hardest thing to do.  It's like walking around completely naked in a room full of complete strangers who are judging you.  I feel like that when a microphone is placed in front of me.  I could talk to just about anyone, have a conversation about almost anything but put a mic in front of me and I become a blubbering fool. True Story.  I'm also very shy. Most people challenge me on this, but it's truth.  I honestly am a very shy person, I CHOOSE to force myself out of my little box of comfort though.  The reason I do this is so that I know I can succeed under any circumstance.  It's not always easy nor is it always fun, however, to me, it is necessary for my personal success.

How do you answer to your inner lion? Do you let it out and allow it to take you where you are meant to go or do you hide from it?  If you are still hiding from it, let it out and see where it takes you. You won't be sorry.

"Don't miss the donut by looking through the hole."

~Author Unknown

The bigger picture. It's a wonderful thing. When we open our eyes to the bigger picture we are enabling ourselves to see things from a different perspective.  Often times we are so close to the situation that we are unable to see past the immediate.  It helps to take a step outside the clouded box and clear the fog from your eyes so you can begin to see clearly.  Open your mind to fresh and new ideas that you may not have thought of.  Don't reject an idea just because you don't think it will work.  Every idea, whether it works or not, is a step on your path to success.  You have to know what works and what doesn't.  That also doesn't mean that just because it didn't work in the past it won't work in the future.  Keep your mind open, at all times, and see how high you can fly!

"We acquire the strength we have overcome."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fear. Fear is something every person has, whether admitted or not. Facing fears is not always easy and rarely a fun experience. Necessary, nonetheless.  What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of failure, ridicule and pain?  These three things are not to be feared, they are to be endured.  We find success through our failures.  We become humbled by those who ridicule, or critique, as I prefer to call it. And we find strength through our pain.  It's not easy to make something positive out of a negative situation, but when you can, you will find it easy to remove fear from your life and can allow yourself to move forward.

Come out from behind the shadows of your fear and let the sun light your pathway to success and happiness.
