• If you worry that you’re not good enough,
• If you still have doubts about yourself,
• If you know so deeply that you’re meant to do the work you love, but are struggling to make it happen,

This post is for you – to inspire you that you have what it takes to make it happen, no matter what!

Going into the New Year is always filled with excitement, anticipation, and a bit of bittersweetness and nervousness.

For me, going into 2020 feels exhilarating – because 2019 metaphorically felt like I was at the bottom again, starting a square one, and climbing up the steps of the tallest slide at the playground. Exciting, challenging, not really knowing what was at the top – I just kept climbing.

I’ll be honest…
• There were times I felt myself look down…
• There were times I wanted to give up…
• There were moments that I pushed myself to take the very next step…

At the end of 2018, I made the leap to leave the corporate world to pursue my businesses. 2019, I started my first year of full-time self-employment.

It was terrifying.
It was so fulfilling.
It was hard.
It was everything I felt I was meant for.

I feel deep within my soul – reflecting on 2019, I feel that I have had the most powerful and memorable lessons and accomplishments of my life (so far).

In 2019, I took a leap of faith, I pursued my purpose, I built so much resiliency, I got intentional, I learned perseverance, and I grew immensely.

But can i tell you how deeply difficult 2019 was on me? 

Two different times, I burnt out and had to completely step away – once for three days and once for two full weeks. That heart-wrenching feeling, when you’re doing all the things but still nothing seems to be working, it almost wrecked me! That second time, I really didn’t think I could bounce back. And to be honest, I don’t even know what made me decide to keep going.

You know the story of the miners who stopped digging when they were 2-inches from gold – don’t take it lightly, it’s incredible how true that is.

2019’s Biggest Lesson

If you feel like you’re ready to throw in the towel and think you can’t keep trying, keep going.

If you have a deep-rooted feeling that you are meant for the work you do, keep going.

If you have tried over and over to be successful but nothing seems to be working, keep going.

If you have this little voice in your head telling you that you’re not good enough, keep going.

Because your most beautiful accomplishments come from the times you decide to keep going.

It’s not going to be easy - but i promise you it’ll be worth it!
